We might not like the final outcome of the 99% when they take a closer look at the effects and consolidation of businesses caused by the big box stores and the internet.

The consolidation has lead to the destruction of family businesses, the death of downtown small-town America, the rise of piracy and the corresponding destruction of the publishing and entertainment industries, and a whole host of other problems such as unfair sales tax advantages, loss of local jobs, and declining property values caused by consolidating online sales by companies such as Netflix. Look what happened to the Mom and Pop video stores which used to be in every small town and provide lots of jobs.....

Just saying, be careful what you ask for because all is not rosy and the answers will be very difficult once they get past the slogans and down to details.
