According to the Congressional Budget Office since 1979, income for the top one percent of Americans has risen 275%. So you can start seeing why more Americans are starting to support Occupy Wall Street, as a new poll from CBS/New York Times shows that 43% generally agree with the movement's views, with only 27% saying they didn't. Campaign for America's Future's Richard Eskow discusses.

  • Picture these god damn congress men's grand kids bragging about their grand parents being part of the congress that had a 9% approval rating. Fkn hilarious. These fkn fat cats, how can they not realize, that they're going to be despised off the face of the planet. Their families are going to have to change their last names and forget that their ancestors got a taste of "power", by trying to sell out all of humanity like cheap cattle.

  • & with statistics like this the drones are still in full force. Mostly business majors who think they will get to be a 1%er. Or people who are already 1%ers. $1 buys $220 in tax benefits if that $1 is spent on lobbying. So who knocks this movement? Those who are in the position to lobby, & those who are prospecting to work for, or own a company who lobbies.
