Let's not getting too pedantic about the argument. The definition of the poor and the wealthy are never clearly defined, and its exact delineation is not exactly the quintessence of the whole movement. The global replication of the "Occupy Wall Street" movement may shed some light on the cause of the movement that is shared by many people. The tilting of the policy towards the rich culminates in the anguish today that finally erupted into such happened in both developed nations as well as developing nations. In US, the belief of trickle-down economy would ultimately prove to be wrong when taking human selfishness into consideration. In developing nations as China when the powerful meets the rich, it often presents a more sinister picture.

5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation. & U* y h" n& n 6.

When you give more thought to this global movement, the six points above would look more and more like cliches, empty of any justification.
