The Occupy movement has taken root because there are forty seven million people in the United States who live under the official poverty line - cruelly calculated at only $22,000 for a family of four.
In 2010 alone, banks foreclosed on 3.8 million families.
Three million people are completely homeless during part of the year.
Forty million people are unemployed or severely underemployed.
And over the last three decades the richest 1 percent of Americans have seen their incomes grow by an average of 275 percent.
