Wouldn t it be ironic if Occupy Wall Street the soi-disant 99% were being secretly funded by billionaire Davos Man George Soros, exemplar of the 1%? Well, no, it wouldn t, actually. As Noreen Malone points out, lots of the 1% have, like Soros, expressed sympathy with OWS, including Bill Clinton, Ben Bernanke, and at least one member of the Buffett family. And when you re sympathetic to a cause, and have lots of money, often you donate money to that cause.
