I guess Michael Moore, Susan Sarandon, Lupe Fiasco, and Cornell West out there somehow doesn't count toward Ezra's extremely scientificalized calculations of this all-important percentile? Do we have to split the hair finer, to make sure we only Ezra-count those who actually sleep there?

Keep up the higher math apologia, Klein! The middle-class sure ain't gonna acid-fuck itself!

We Are The 99%* <i>*Less The Honest Ezra Klein Discount Of Those Actual Highly Paid Media People That Are Out Here, Supporting Us Just The Same, Like Susan Sarandon, Michael Moore, Lupe Fiasco, Or Cornell West</i>

This could totally fit on a sign! THANKS EZRA FOR HELPING CLARIFY THE MESSAGE!

Most Americans believe in ghosts, UFOs, and Invisible Space Deities‎ so if someone says these 99 percenters are socialist tools and the bankers are poor, hard-workin' patriots of course they'll believe it. Even though they themselves have lost money either personally or collectively to the machinations of said bankers.

The more Fox & co-conspirators complain about it the more effect it must be having.

Tax financial transactions to avoid manipulation!

Nobody has enough moral fiber to insulate a sleeping bag, and that's what we're all going to be needing.

They want to take back their country. From whom and to where they do not specify.

She'll probably prefer a cucumber to any of Ezra's appendages.
