Talent in the 1 percent

Today would be a perfect day to get the message across that you are part of the 99 percent — the segment of people who are not part of the wealthiest 1 percent. And why would today be a perfect day to Occupy?

One of the most talented musicians in the world, Yo-Yo Ma, is at Fredonia State University tonight. He is part of the 1 percent the 99 percent protests because he is one of a kind.

We are fortunate to have him here. But he would not be here this week — if not for some major donations.

So thank you to Fredonia State, Yo-Yo Ma and the major donors, many of whom are part of the 1 percent.
