I will use myself as an example.

I have a BA in Communication. I have worked in something since I got my GED. Yet here I am praying that a fast food job will call soon. I am educated, I could do the job of those writers at the New Your Post, more than likely better. People that see my diploma, see my resume can't understand why I am not making a lot of money. Yet here I am, I am nowhere near being of the 1% and I back Occupy.

Some of those of OWS may be closer to them of the 1%, however they see the inequality that is happening. And it is the fact that some of those that are closer to the 1% are backing and standing with Occupy that scares the upper echelon.
