OWS Statistics: Half of The 1% Do NOT Think They Are The 1%

We have been spotting several OWS stats recently. We spotted this today:

"According to a new study from HNW Inc, half of the top 1% of earners don’t think they’re in the top 1%. (Note to one-percenters: if your household income is more $340,00, you’re a one-percenter).

Some of the one percenters even side with the Occupiers when it comes to anger at Wall Street. More than two thirds of the one-percenters believe the wealth gap is a problem, and many of them don’t like Wall Street."
