This seems like a misinformed group whos trying to fragment the 99%. Calling us lazy, looking for handouts, get a job etc..

They're missing the point of these large corporations and how they exist by manipulating the law in their favor, grants, bailouts, tax loop holes. Socialize the loses, privatize the gains. This is NOT capitalism.

Any thoughts on the 53%?

Have you looked at the tumblr? It is a lot of poor & struggling working people telling the world that they don't care how bad their lives are.

I find it eerie.

Yeah, this technique isn't so new. The key phrase to me is "get a job", where I know they don't understand how big the movement is.

It is dangerous to apply the behavior of a few (or a dozen) asocial eThugs to a broad demographic just because they have some ideological similarities. It's true for the left and it's true for the right.
