[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think our country heading back to the bad old days of the 1800's. Pretty soon you will either be the home owner upstairs or the servant downstairs. [/quote] We have that now. 1% are the home owners who own practically everything. 99% are the servants who serve and owe the 1% directly or indirectly.[/quote] I am unclear about the point you are making, but just to set the record straight, our home ownership rate is 67%.[/quote] The homeowners is a metaphor for the 1% of the wealthiest Americans. The servants downstairs is a metaphor for the 99% who are working class or poorer, not in the 1%.[/quote] It's a really clumsy and poor metaphor. Then again, messaging has never exactly been OWS's strength. This is still the United States of America, not a feudalistic Downton Abbey.[/quote]
