Only 1% of the 99% are waging the battle

Only 1% of the 99% are waging the battle
Posted By: Rudolph Hickman on November 27, 2011

As 99% of the American population struggles with the lopsided economic conditions visited upon it by the mis- and malfeasance of our federal, state and local governments, only 1% of that number seems to be waging the battle that seeks to remedy these inequities.


Whether one agrees with the basic philosophy of the movement - to seek some semblance of balance in the American economy - or not, no one can argue that this movement seeks to adorn its participants with the untold riches that seems to have found its way to those who are suppossed to represent us - the 99%. Nor can anyone argue, legitimately, that the movement is a power grab that would entitle its victors to then sell their influence in the public square.
So why is it that a movement seeking to benefit the larger majority of the population not more fully supported by those who would benefit from its success?
One of the more obvious reasons is apathy.
