99%, meet the 53%

Meet America’s ’53%’ – And They Have a Message for the ’99%’ Protesters


Meet The 53%. Who are they? The term 53% refers to the people who are actually paying taxes for themselves and the rest of the country.

The 53% is a group of responsible young people organizing across the country. However, this group is not camping out in parks around the country and demanding the entire capitalist system be destroyed. These men and women have jobs (most of them work at more than one job in order to make ends meet), but they are talking about attending the Minneapolis Occupy Wall St. protest scheduled for today – Friday, October 7th.

I can sympathize with the guy in the picture - underwater with the house, no salary, only what work I can scrape up as a consulting engineer in an area where 90% of the engineering jobs have gone to Asia.
