The Occupy Chicago movement has been occupying Chicago’s financial district for nearly two weeks now. Their signs say they represent the 99 percent.

This is not just Warren Buffet, Bill Gates and Oprah Winfrey; this is the heads of the banks and investment houses, CEOs of failed corporations, many of our Congressional and Senatorial leaders, the head of the Federal Reserve, and others who have brought the country to its knees.
