You Are Not The 99%

I normally don't post anything non-fashion related cause I don't actually care about things that aren't fashion related (jk but not really) but this whole occupy wall street stuff is just so pointless. Before I go on a rant about the evils of liberalness I would like to say that I may not agree with the methods used by the occupy wall street protestors but I do support their overall message/enthusiasm for change. My real issue is not with the real protestors who are actually part of the 99% but the hipsters who are parading around downtown speaking out against capitalism and the evils of wall street meanwhile they are twittering and updating their facebook statuses on their blackberries and iPhones.

Fact: If you go to a school whose yearly tuition sans room and board is only a few thousand less than the median household income, you are not part of the 99%.

Just cause you live in brooklyn does not give you the right to compare yourself to the hundreds of people who struggle everyday to feed their children or put a roof over their heads.
