I don't make near enough to be in the 1% and I do not agree with the 99% so where do I belong? Who's doing the math around here?

That makes you a 1% wannabe.

That 99% - 1% has nothing to do with income, it's a metaphor. I think that's one of the biggest misunderstandings of what OWS is about. If you are a member of 'the club' as Carlin puts it, if you believe that making obscene profits for your own personal gain at the expense of the economy, your fellow man and the very survival of the planet, if you believe that corporations and the big banks should be in charge of running the governments and peoples' lives, then you are one of the 1%. If not, you are one of the 99%, whether or not you believe in OWS.
