Bullshit. That's the far left wingnut excuse for having zero substance within their argument.
1%....The top one percent of wage earners starts at about $345,000 per year.
Here's a table indicating wealth "distribution".
Who Rules America: Wealth, Income, and Power
the key word on which to focus is 'distribution'.
That term in the context of the issue indicates 'placement' or 'awarding' of wealth.
The text in this link makes no reference to "earnings".
That's the template. The Left equates wealth with winners and losers instead of the more accurate producers and non-producers.
The table clearly indicates that the majority of wealth held by the top 10% of wealth holders is not in cash but in business, real estate and investment.

They believe that people who are wealthy have been "given" wealth or in the case of the angered, OWS people included, that in order for certian people to have accumulated wealth, they have 'stolen' it from others.
Also, those in that camp, believe wealth should by confiscated by government and used to fund any number of programs and the federal coffers themselves.
This in light of the fact that it is government that has interfered and in some cases Boeing plant in SC, Gulf oil drilling ban) STOPPED commerce.
OWS is protesting the wrong people. OWS should be parading in front of the White House and the US Capitol.
