Dana - merc does NOT see himself as part of the 99%.

He is deluded. He thinks he's rich. He's also afraid somebody is going to take his hard-earned money away from him. His position in society is so precarious that he screeches his fear and hate at shadows. He's convinced there isn't enough to go around and, like a dragon guarding it's gold, hoards his little piece of the dream. If anybody gets something he feels like it is taken from him, specifically, and it somehow diminishes his life.

It's weird, I know.
