What fresh hell is this? The top one percent more than doubled their share of the nation’s income since 1979. The new numbers from the Congressional Budget Office tell the back story of Occupy USA, they answer the “why.”

But in almost every Occupy story we do, a reader demands to know what we “want” to and announce that without a clear message, we will go nowhere. Of course, it’s tough to say what “everyone” in the 99% wants, and in a true grassroots movement like the Occupy USA movement, there isn’t a backseat agenda driving the bus; hence, what “we” want will vary. However, the concept of economic justice is a prevailing theme of Occupy USA.
