So far, the Occupy movement has been a nuisance for the 1%, not too different from the beggars we see at the street corners. Now the movement is being tackled by the local police, one city at a time and soon it will be history. We should join Occupy Dallas and call for a general strike everywhere on Nov 30th while we can. When the 1% see less money in their wallet, they will care and start talking.
The 99% can easily shut down the 1%. They can leave. Go. We'll go through a short spasm of pain and then we'll pick right up and be off making and producing things and our society once again - WE don't NEED them. THEY need US.
What happens when the 99% shut down the 1% and the 1% leave? Of the 99% left, there will be 1% that make the most money in that group. I guess they should be shut down too and leave? Then the remaining 99% will still have a 1% that make the most money. Have you really thought through this process?
Yes, I have. Stop being sillly. There will be adjustments. Do you think a massive change of state would happen without massive adjustments? Duh. Stop playing games with numbers and words. I'll not address that since it's just meat for arguing.
Calling for a general strike does not work in the US. No one will comply.

A strike is pretty easy for this bunch.......obvious
You are a dreamer, living in fantasy land. The1% could close their shops and businesses and retire to a warm place. The owner of the plant I once worked in told us if we tried to get a union in, he would shut the doors. We had better than union scale wages and benefits, so it was only a few of the mentally strange that threatened union.
