%99? Let's change it to %95

I know this whole.....occupy LA and Wall Street madness is over. Thank God!

I for one, don't feel like being bunched into the mass group of the %99, mainly because not all of us share the same beliefs at all.

Firstly....%99......why do you disregard the fact that a good number of the %1 USE TO BE THE %99???? Why do you insult the sleepless nights, social exile, blood, sweat and tears they spent busting their butts to be where they are? Do you no know that you were the same people that insulted them and laughed in their face when they said "One day you'll work for me!" Well guess what, you do!

Ok, yeah, they have this control over everything. But that's what they worked hard for! They weren't out protesting because they don't have a 6+ figure job. They were inside fighting all odds to get it!

The part that gets me tho....most of all....is how you protest....yet you're so dependent on them. You sit in and sip on your Starbucks coffee, yet you protest the %1. You can't LIVE without your iPod or iPhone, yet you protest the %1. You dress in name brand clothes like Gap, Banana Republic, Nike, American Eagle, Ambacrombe & Finch, ect. Yet while wearing those clothes, you protest. You watch and enjoy sports and movies, buy jerseys and what not, go to games and pay to see movies...but did you not realize you're protesting against them too? You drive your cars, regardless of type, yet you protest the people that make them (and your gas).

I could go on like this for a loooooong long time, but I'll stop now.
All I'm saying is, until you can live with any of these comforts of life, shut that mouth, the live life with the cards you were dealt. Most of us have fantastic lives even tho we aren't "The %1". We struggle, yes. We grind. We work. But we HAVE. Majority of us will never know what it means to be poor, not broke, poor. Majority of us will never know what it feels like to not know where we're going to sleep tonight, or if we're going to eat today.

The worst part is, when those people need help, we turn our backs on them so we can complain about "The %1" without turning around to gain some prospective.
You aren't the %99, you're the %95, because there's %4 of people that you forgot about.
