Big Government ^ | 10-16-11 | Ari David

The OccupyLA protesters call themselves the 99%. A self-described 1%'R, a Capitalist, wandered into the Occupy Los Angeles protest at City Hall one evening and confronted the protestors and answered questions that many of them had.

Funny thing is, the protestors enjoyed the discussion with the capitalist and invited him back.

The OccupyLA protesters call themselves the 99%.

That's because they are the center of their known universe.

“Occupy” will have to followed by “Remove.”

Thank you for your post. I was glad to see the story. But your name, Ari. It is a disaster unless it is your real name. Or did you give yourself a handle based on the name of the medically-trained Israaeli assassin killed by his superiorly-skilled and much cuter sister, Ziva?

I admit, I quit listening after the ‘capitalist’ admitted he wished more banks had been nationalized.

In my neighboring town, the Occupy bowel movement consisted of an old, bearded man holding up a sign saying rumble of the people, and a fat lady leaning against a station wagon covered with posters. It was as thrilling as the two times Obama came here to campaign.

Near the end, the 1%er says he plans to vote for Herman Cain, and the crowd seems happy with his choice.

I wonder who this guy is? Is there any way of finding out? He’s so well-spoken, and he supports Cain. Wonderful the way he handled the crowd, staying strong and defending his views and managing to enlist their support without getting strung up on the nearest light post.

“Near the end, the 1%er says he plans to vote for Herman Cain, and the crowd seems happy with his choice.”

I was dumfounded when I finally realized the crowd in reaction to the 1%er stating that he was leaning to Herman Cain was responding with 9,9,9 (initially I thought they were yelling nein, nein, nein).

Thats because he’s probably the smartest guy they ever met.
