The other day I caught a program on one of the 24 hour news channels. It mentioned a new group called the 53%. This group is against the occupy movement, and according to http://money.cnn.com/2011/10/26/news/eco.../index.htm
The number originates in the estimate that roughly 47% of Americans don't pay federal income tax, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. The 53 percenters stress the fact that they are paying the taxes that support the government assistance the protesters say they want.
There are quite a few articles about about the 53, Here's another:

Fucking idiots.
I think the OWS movement just might implode on itself before too long....They are inciting riots in Cali, getting kids drunk, and providing a place for sexual predictors to hunt in Texas. That is some nice peaceful protesting there, I tell ya.
