The Guys in the 1% Brought This On | Barbara Ehrenreich
By Barbara Ehrenreich, October 12, 2011
At the risk of being pedantic, let me point out that “99% versus 1%” is
not a class analysis, not in any respectable sociological sense. Shave
off the top 1% and you’re still left with some awfully steep divides of
wealth, income and opportunity. The 99% includes the ordinary rich, for
example, who may lack private jets but do have swimming pools and second
homes. It also includes the immigrant workers who mow their lawns and
clean their houses for them. This is not a class. It’s just the default
category left after you subtract the billionaires.
