Chart: Who's in the 99%?

http://www.theygaveusarepublic.com/

Make the blue boxes green. They represent the money, influence, and % of breaks that the 1% are either given or can buy.

This is what OWS is about.

1. I'm confused because of the overlap -- 1% and 1-10%.
What is the minimum income in the 1% category?

Is $1.1 million the minimum income of the 1% ers or is it the average of everyone in the top 1% ?

2. that's average family income per chart. I believe the bottom cap is ~330-360k
For an individual. The slogan is a slogan, OWS has much bigger problems with the 0.1% and 0.01% than those at the lower end of that spectrum. But for the sake of simplicity...
