The 1 Percent Has Nearly Tripled Its Share of America's Income - Politics - GOOD

For years people have been complaining that the rich are getting richer while the poor are getting poorer. This is what I think the "Occupy" movements are about just like the riots in the UK and France the last couple of years.

For more than a month now, Occupy Wall Street supporters have been camping in lower Manhattan to voice their dissatisfaction with, among other things, America's mind-boggling income inequality. Though they've faced criticism from naysayers all along the way, it turns out that the protesters' grievances aren't just figments of their collective imagination after all: In the past three decades, the richest 1 percent of Americans have seen their share of the U.S. income grow by 275 percent since 1979, according to a new study from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

Occupy Movement Turns Geek

Invariably, throughout history, when societies become economically polarized between rich and poor - when a few people control most of the wealth - the society blows up like a powder keg. That is what I see in the Occupy Wall Street Movement. The thing is people have been talking about the 1% and 99% for years. Today due to the economic issues making these things so obvious people are complaining in the mainstream. Fortunately a few good memes have come out of this. Here are two of them I like!
