Ok, i'm so damn confused with this whole movement. You all say you hate the republicans who are for the 1%. Ok I get that, and I somewhat agree with that. Yet the democrats say they are for the 99% yet guess who they wine and dine to give them money. The 1%. If the 1% said they would take away that "donation" then guess who the deomcrats would side with. Yep, that 1%. The democrates are partially responsible for the economy of the USA at the moment. Our current president SIGNED THE BILL FOR THE BAILOUTS!!!!!!!!! They put their nose into every aspect of the life, that it makes it so damn hard for business to start up and succeed. I'm not republican, but I do agree with them when they say the governement should step back and give the states more rights.
I'm also confused on teh fact that you hate the 1%s but LOVE celebrities. Hello, here they are saying they agree with you, yet they are flying to your protests in their private planes, driving in tehir expensive cars, and staying in one of their 5 homes. Again this is another group that needs to keep their noses out of politics. They drive the costs of thigns up too. If they endorse it, then the price goes up making it harder for us to pay for a product we want. Lord knows that if they got what they say they "want" they would be the first to complain because their income would be hurt.
So I guess i'm writing because I am trying to understand what you guys want. I agree with some of what I have read, but disagree with some other things. Most of all, I'm confused on what your movement is all about. Please explain

My definition of the 1% are those that use their money to buy their representation in government. 99% are left with the scraps.
