Forum Post: Ahm, one question, people...

Hi, one question from someone who is also part of the 99%: Who put you guys in charge? I kind of agree with some of your ideas, but only a few and I do not share the feeling that your actions are helping anyone, really. So my question is: What makes you believe you speak for the other 99%? You refuse to elect leaders or even real spokespersons, but at the same time declare yourself spokespeople for the 99%!? Seems to me like that is really presumptous! Most of the 99% don't agree with your goals, methods or both. So please stop claiming you are speaking for the rest of us, even though you were never asked to, were never given a mandate or even asked before borrowing my voice (and that of many, many others).

The about 0.000000014%

when they say 99%, they actually mean of like minded people. In truth you are right, they are equal to less than 1% of the population. But in the pool of wack jobs who think civil disobedience will bring down capitolism, then yes, they are the "99%*"

Nobody is in charge.

Agreed. They sure don't speak for me, and I'm not the 1%.

To be honest, I would settle for the top 27% of the top 42%, but only 87% of the time though.
