Occupy Wall Streeters - Do the Math!

Since the OWS crowd has targeted those who earn the top 1% of income I thought some facts should replace the fiction they have been spouting.

The top 1% of earners are not those who work in the financial sector, vis-à-vis Wall Street. The top earners on Wall Street represent a paltry 14% of the 1% top earners. The rest, which leaves 86% of the top 1% consist of primarily doctors, lawyers, engineers, various scientists, actors, athletes, politicians and a vast number of our representatives in Congress. 

So the OWS would use their resources better if they would focus on the vast majority of people who comprise the 84% of top 1% of earners. Of course that would be logical - so don't expect it to ever happen.
