Romney is the leader of the 1%

Since the Occupy Movement started, we have heard all about the 1% vs the 99%. Most voters in this country identify with the 99%.

Recently we have learned that Romney is in the top 3200 in this nation in wealth. He is the 1%. In fact, he is in the top .001%. I think it is instructive that the voters know this fact.

In my opinion, with the 99% protesting against Wall Street, the Democrats should take every opportunity to point out which side Mitt Romney is on. If we can get the support of the non-partisan 99%, it will be very difficult for Romney and the Koch Brothers to buy the next election.

I think this is a point we should make every chance we get. Our Party should make every effort to show the 99%'ers who is on their side. Just my opinion.
