      <![CDATA[OHC: it's the "What's the Matter With Kansas" phenomenon, coupled with more than a bit of Stockholm syndrome.<br>
<br>
Barf: you're misreading (or misinterpreting) the chart. It is generally accepted, and supported by all the credible economic studies and statistics, that real income for the bottom 90% has consistently declined for the last 30 years, while that of the top 10% (and particularly the top 1%) has skyrocketed.

      <![CDATA[Unfortunately a significant portion of the 90%ers align themselves with the top 10%. I don't know why, but it is sadly true that they work very hard against their own best interests.

      <![CDATA[The graphic shows that from 1980-1986 and again from 1990-1996 the bottom 90% benefited (even if it was still a drastically unbalanced portion) from the overall growth in income. What was different about those periods?

      <![CDATA[I agree with much of what our fearless editor-in-chief says here. However, from my perch inside this incipient movement, I have to disagree with the statement "the goal being, obviously, to impact politics by winning elections or scaring incumbents into changing their positions."<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, this statement falls victim to the very predictability of the media's coverage of the movement, and missing the big picture, the piece decries.
