I'm guessing there are a couple of porners who qualify.

Probably 1% of us?

Yes, tax wise the top 1% make over that... however they have no power, no influence, they pay for the mistakes of the elite like everyone else, thus can't be the 1% that is actually being talked about.

You are talking about the top .01% - the oligarchs.

But make no mistake, anyone in the top 2.5% has power. Not Koch Brothers power, but real measurable power.

Actually, there are plenty. $360,000 or something a year puts you in 1%.

The name is actually ill conceived.

It should be called the anti-financial services, bailout, lobbyist, political corruption movement, etc.

Or more simply AFSBLPCME

It covers the World, not only America...

That would be power and influence over a lot of people. And not esoteric powers that may or may not exist.

99% is the bottom 99% of wage earners. 1% is top 1% of wage earners, it's a mathematical distinction and an imaginary line that has been drawn at a very real place.

That place, in America, is $340,000.

You and the media think the 1% is hard working tax payers that make a decent living... the rest of us know the real 1% actually do control the World.

Yes, some idiots at the Occupy movement think taxing "working rich" people will solve problems, those peoples are idiots... the "majority" know they aren't the problem, the majority know they are powerless slaves like everyone else.

My neighbor has a cabin in Flagstaff, that makes him the 1% but the fact that Minte owns a factory that employs who knows how many people doesn't?

Whack.

I've made millions, and I know that I have no power, no influence, I can't buy votes, none of us can... I'm as equal as a person making nothing. Some people may want to tax me more, and that's fair for people to think - but that doesn't mean I created the problems OR profited from them, I'm not part of the problem, I'm not the 1% because of a paycheck.

Just like it's a fact that some people/corps are allowed to profit, fund, build, etc both sides of a war - profiting from the deaths of their own Countrymen.... which is treason and a list of other shit, yet some people are allowed to do it, profiting from the war machine directly.... something you'll never have enough power or influence to do.
