OWS is exposed: Rich, white, educated and working

It seems those Occupy Wall Streeters were a lot closer to the 1 percent than they would like to admit.

A new study of the OWS movement in New York found that many of the protesters were highly educated and not nearly as down on their luck as they portrayed.

A third of protesters in the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York lived in households earning more than $100,000 and more than two- thirds were employed professionals, according to the study from CUNY’s Joseph A. Murphy Institute for Worker Education and Labor Studies.

The study also showed the movement was mostly organized by experienced political operatives and nearly all of those involved — 76 percent — were college educated.

Of those, half had graduate degrees and among those with bachelor’s degrees, and 28 percent had attended elite universities.


Real "ninety-nine percenters," eh, Nads (and other DUmb**** supporters of OWS)?

Well, of course, and we knew this.  Just look at them, a bunch of phony poseurs.  Pretending to be Commie-chic.

Yeah, I knew that. Many have weekend homes here in the Catskills and had the 99% signs out!

"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."


~ Dr. William Pierce

It was kind of obvious from the start, when one of the first stories out of NYC was some rich young bitch complaining about her new MacBook being stolen by a fellow protester.

Most of radicals in the past were from wealthy background. Vladimir Lenin, Che Guevara, and Osama bin Laden came from wealthy backgrounds. No surprise.

Liberal guilt.  Going around pretending like they care while not being willing to give up anything they've got.

What a waste of time and resources.

Look at most revolutions--they're created/fermented from the upper, not the lower classes.  Granted, to be successful they have to get grass roots support, but once in power, the proles can be cast aside/imprisoned/executed quickly enough.
