No, the top 20% also includes the top 1%.

Yep, I figured as much. Though I have seen other comments that make the same observation I made (101?? wtf?) and used that as the reason to disregard the whole idea. Those people have already closed their minds, sadly.

When they have no rational argument against the cause, they'll snipe.

In my previous post, the REUTERS authors wrote:

Lasn [Adbusters co-founder] said
Adbusters is 95 percent funded by subscribers paying for the magazine.

"George Soros's ideas are quite good, many of them.
I wish he would give Adbusters some money, we sorely need it,
she said. "He's never given us a penny."
Apparently, Lasn is a quick sex-change person, or
reporters can't write about someone and keep their gender constant.
Here is the FORBES reporter having a go at it...

The Brains Behind "Occupy Wall Street"
Meet the second most evilest man in the world (after George Soros).
Quote:
Kalle Lasn, 69, is their quasi leader. He’s the publisher and editor of Adbusters magazine.
It’s a small, non-influential critical and artsy magazine with a decent following
of around 90,000 who call themselves “culture jammers”.
Occupy Wall Street began in the conference rooms at that Vancouver mag.

I spoke with Lasn in July, right after the new edition of Adbusters hit the news stands
with the now famous image of a ballerina balancing on the Wall Street bull. (below)

Above her head read the Twitter hashtag #OccupyWallStreet.
I'm thinking Kalle Lasn looks pretty masculine.
