The Occupy Wall Street Movement talks about the "99%" and the "1%"...here's how to find out your percent.

If not based on income than what? The more I earn the more Influence I can buy. If I can afford a seat at a $25k per plate fundraiser does that buy me some influence with the political beneficiary?
Yayyyy im in the 89% now what?
This is ridiculous. 99% should not be based on income. 1% buys their representation in government. 99% are left with the scraps. 1% participates in the monied corruption of government.
99% of voices are not heard.
Its about unfair influence in government . Not income.
