Boy do I feel stupid." If what you got was that 'they are poor' then are stupid beyond measure. On the other hand if this is simply someone who KNOWS better but wants to diseminate to others for personal (social) gain, well then they are simply evil. Which are you sed?

The time has finally come when the discontent has migrated up the social ladder to the educated and informed, many of them the actual sons and daughters of those very same oligarchs. EXACTLY the same demographic that wrested the colonies from the king of England more than 200 hundred years ago. What SHOULD scare the shit out of them is the fact that OWS has not 'disappeared' in any way. In fact it has gone 'mainstream' and is organizing along with other groups, sometimes bending these groups actions to their own purposes. 2014 will mark the first sighting of political candidates that are sympathetic to and even funded by OWS. Believe me, getting gassed repeatedly for peaceful protesting turns you into something much much more than a 'protester'. It turns your into an activist. And they could not have done it without the completely outsized and unwarranted violent reaction the various governments had to OWS. Honestly, OWS activists all hope that Rethuglicans and Democrats alike believe the rumors of their demise.

After reading this article, I feel like a complete and total fool for actually being taken for a ride by these morons. I actually believed that they are poor, that they are the 99%. Boy do I feel stupid. Assholes.

The Occupy Wall Street movement captured public attention while speaking for the so-called 99 percent, but those who actively participated were drawn from a much narrower, more elite slice of American society, according to a new survey. Those who described themselves as “actively involved” in the Occupy movement were overwhelmingly white, highly educated and employed, according to a new report from the Joseph F. Murphy Institute for Worker Education and Labor Studies at the City University of New York. “When people are saying, ‘Occupy Wall Street is a white, middle-class thing,’ I can’t really fight them because it’s not true, but then, it’s not necessarily false either,” Michele Crentsil, a 23-year-old African-American Occupy participant said in the report. The report surveyed the participants at a joint Occupy-labor movement May Day rally in New York City and found that two-thirds of those who described themselves as “actively involved” in Occupy Wall Street were white, while 80 percent had a bachelor’s degree or higher. Those demographics aren’t representative of New York City as a whole. Only one-third of New York City residents are white, according to the report, and about 34 percent have a bachelor’s degree or higher. “It confirmed our sense that the people who were doing the occupations were doing it out of self-interest as much as out of a kind of general political awareness,” Penny Lewis, an assistant professor at the Murphy Institute and co-author of the report, told The Huffington Post. Many of these activists claiming to represent the 99 percent were drawn to the Occupy movement after the financial crisis left them underemployed and burdened with student loan debt. The survey found that while 80 percent of respondents said they had a job, about one-third said their employment was “precarious,” Lewis said. More than half of respondents under 30 were carrying over $1,000 in student debt, the report found. “People who are entering the middle class or coming out of the middle class, and looking to college to put themselves forward, are actually graduating with excessive amounts debt,” Lewis said. Lewis noted that since the survey was taken at a rally with labor protesters, the sample likely skewed more towards long-term activists and educational professionals than the Occupy gatherings in Zuccotti Park. Still, actively-involved protesters who the researchers interviewed for the report said the perception of Occupy as a largely white, middle-class movement wasn’t entirely wrong. The group’s demographics also dictated in part the issues on which the movement chose to focus. Only 5.4 percent of actively involved participants said they joined Occupy Wall Street to deal with racism or race-related issues, while 19 percent cited student debt and access to education, according to the report. Occupy Wall Street’s largely white, highly-educated makeup also affected the way the movement was organized, the report said. The presence of many homeless people in Zuccotti Park and at the movement’s General Assembly (GA) gatherings presented “daunting” organizational challenges to the group, the report said. And though the movement had no official leaders, those who represented Occupy Wall Street in the public sphere were often white, male and highly educated, one protester interviewed for the report noted. “We ended up recreating a lot of racist, sexist, classist structures,” Crentsil wrote in the report. “The people who you would see on TV or as the quote-unquote 'leaders' who are either facilitating the GA or being front and center in any other way shape or form were often white, male and highly educated.”
