No, actually I am the 99%.
"We are, the 99% - we are, the 99%". This is the chant from the multiple 'occupy' movements heard around the country and as of recent times, around the world . As my previous article indicated , this particular movement is an amalgamation of socialist fringe elements, unions, leftists, angry liberals and an assortment of libertarians/conspiracy theorists and yes, even average Americans. However I would like to take this opportunity to invite you into my personal life and show you the real 99%. My parents brought me to America in 1988 from Soviet Russia where life had become so unbearable and so awful that for the sake of my future and my soon to be born brother's future, everything was left behind and opportunities provided by the free market and capitalism were chosen. The very thing that the protesters now demand to be destroyed was entirely non-existent in the USSR and life for many consisted of nothing more than survival. Unless politically connected
