George Carlin explained the 1% to the 99% in 3'15" long before any American cities were Occupied.

"...You have no choice. You have owners. They own you...."
"... The table is tilted folks. The game is rigged. And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care ..."

"...because the owners of this country know the truth. It's called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it." 

 Please watch the whole 3'15" of this video, because so much of George Carlin's linguistic beauty comes from the timing and cadences, but this speech would get a standing ovation at any Occupy gathering taking place across America tonight. It's too bad George isn't among us to enjoy this moment when the 99% are recognizing their voices. They would have recognized his.
