Camps Are Cleared, but ‘99 Percent’ Still Occupies the Lexicon

Author : STELTER, B.

Date : November 30, December

Abstract : Explains the "occupy" movement, and their slogan : "we are the 99 Percent", as well as their actor's motivations.

Extract : "Most of the biggest Occupy Wall Street camps are gone. But their slogan still stands.

Whatever the long-term effects of the Occupy movement, protesters have succeeded in implanting “We are the 99 percent,” referring to the vast majority of Americans (and its implied opposite, “You are the 1 percent,” referring to the tiny proportion of Americans with a vastly disproportionate share of wealth), into the cultural and political lexicon."
