RedState.org founder and CNN contributor Erick Erickson started 'We are the 53 percent' to mock the 'We are the 99 percent' and related Occupy Wall Street movements. The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

    who do you think the 1% are? ye olde small business owner?

    the 1% represent the shareholders of the FED, Goldman Sachs, JP MORGAN, The Military Industrial Complex, and the criminals on wallstreet that never created anything except for false credit swaps that collapsed the economy and then bailed themselves out with YOUR tax money.

    the 1% are the Enemy of free market capitalism. They're a parasitic socialist oligarchy that will use the federal government to bleed you dry.

    Human men, human women, human children, should all work together. No true human would ever let another human suffer in any way

    I am not a percent...we are all in this together. Lets hold the corporations and government accountable for their actions and change the non functional dynamics of our country and make workable solutions for all of us...children and women first, quality food, air and water...education, health care that is not reactive but rather proactive/preventative (this takes you back to children, women, food, air and water). All of those things require paying jobs. Lets work together and make success.

    The 1% are the reason that the 99% are well off enough to even protest for "better" treatment instead of slaving away in the middle of nowhere.

    Look at health care...America has the most expensive health care in the world and what is our solution...obamacare aka subsidize it with tax dollars??? how does that work, how are we better off? the cost of healthcare will trickle down throughout the economy and the middle is gonna foot the bill personally and indirectly and consequently the standard of living for the lower class will decline, not free by any means. So I think it is you who needs to stfu with your weak statement.
