'Occupy' protesters find allies in ranks of the wealthy 'Tax me, I’m good for it,' some in the richest 1 percent say in support of the protest
The “Occupy Wall Street” protesters — also known as the “99 percent” — have struck a chord with at least a few members of an unexpected audience: America’s rich and privileged.
United under the banner “We are the 1 percent: We stand with the 99 percent,” a band of entrepreneurs, trust fund babies, professionals and inheritors has taken to the web to share their abhorrence of corporate greed and support for tax code changes that would see them pay a higher share of their considerable wealth.
Among other things, they’re posting their stories on a Tumblr page created by Wealth for the Common Good and Resource Generation, two groups dedicated to working for "fair taxation and just wealth distribution."
Some are probably not actually in the top 1 percent wealthwise — calculated at earning a yearly salary of more than $506,000, according toThe Wall Street Journal— but all are certainly well off and supportive of reforms that would narrow the widening gap between America's elite and poorest citizens.
Wow... Unlike the whiny, selfish "Ive got mine--screw you" types on right-wing side, here are some people with a conscience.
Listen up selfish people...It's getting close to the point where wealthy people will not be able to go out..Kidnapping was big during the depression when literally thousands of Americas wealthiest men, their wives and children where kidnapped and held for ransom, and btw most of the time it was paid..We are all in this boat together and there's no way the 99% is just gonna sit by and let the gluttonous 1% gorge while we starve- You'll die before I starve, and you might just die in the war for social Justice in America- Because you wall street banksters are clearly the enemy

Unlike the left who says, you got more than me, so give it to me or I will elect people who will MAKE you give it to me! And again, your argument is so old and proven wrong hundreds of times. The right GIVES more than the left. The left wants the Government to GIVE more but they want the right to GIVE it to them!
You libs are the most selfish people. It is ALL about everyone else's money! THAT is all you want to give away and then act like you are a saint for making people have to give their money to the government to squander and waste. A real intelligent lot you are! :bash :bash
And the sad part is that you libs ACTUALLY believe that you are the ones who GIVE the most! YOU ARE FIGHTING TO GIVE AWAY OTHER PEOPLES MONEY AND THEN TAKING CREDIT FOR GIVING TO PEOPLE, MONEY THAT YOU DIDN'T EARN!!! :bash :bash
Good points Viking...giving THIS government the power to redistribute our money is like giving money to a charity that you know will only result in 10% going to the needy and the rest for "administration costs".
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
