Chicago Traders Mock Protesters: ‘We Are The 1% Paying For This, You Are Paying For 1 %'
Chicago Traders Mock Protesters: ‘We Are The 1 Percent Paying For This, You Are Paying For 1 Percent Of It’ | Today, demonstrators from Occupy Chicago continued to protest economic inequality, undeterred by the arrests of 175 of their members by the city for staying overnight in Grant Park. As demonstrators marched past the Chicago Board of Trade, financial traders above dropped flyers upon them that said, “We Are The 1 Percent Paying For This, You Are Paying For 1 Percent Of It.” Here are some snapshots of both sides of the flyers:

8. I thought it was someone who picked up the flyer holding it, not a 1% asshole who made it.
So they wouldn't want to show their face since they are one of the 99%.

They think they are above all this?

Wow.

The 1% is still 99% clueless.

7. If I were they, I would not be too hasty to mock. Perhaps they cannot
hear the whir as the guillotine's blades are sharpened. Or perhaps they can hear and prudence explains why they will not show their faces.
