What OWS taught me

OWS talks a lot, too much in fact, about One Percent versus Ninety Nine Percent. As if success itself were a crime. That’s a mistake. But what OWS has helped to remind me is that One in Five is a far more unsettling ratio. Twenty percent unemployment. In the 21st Century United States.

There won’t be enough cops any where in this country to rip down all the tents that are going to pop up in places you never imagined if we hit that figure. That’s what OWS has taught me.
