““Critique of the 1 percent’s domination predates, it should be recalled, the “Occupy” movement’s popularizing of the notion. In fact, Martin Luther King, Jr. remarked often on the notion of the 1 percent in his early speeches of the 1950s: “They tell me that one tenth of one percent of the population controls more than forty percent of the wealth. Oh America, how often have you taken necessities from the masses to give luxury to the classes.””
