1. It's really the 0.1% (or smaller even).

There are a lot of people in the 1% that are damaged by the policies and practices of the financial elite.

If the 99% are ever going to control the world; they will have to find a way of doing it without spending money. The money that we put into our retirement accounts (that get cleaned out every decade) are part of what is used against the middle and working class. If the 99% ever really want to get control; that's the monetary resource that they have to utilize.

Imagine if we could turn that against the 1%; invest it in green energy (actual physical resources like pv panels and windmills) with the profits going toward the causes that we choose. Of course we'd all fight over what we want those causes to be.
