Brad DeLong reframes the debate:

The Republicans are not just acting against the interests of the 99% and for the interests of the 1%. The Republicans are acting in the interests of nobody at all. The 1% have an interest in full employment, high capacity utilization, and general prosperity just as the rest of us do.

According to a report, "West politely tucked the majority of his gold jewelry into the front of his undershirt while touring the grounds, and Russell Simmons, handed out $20 bills to the protesters while declaring, 'I'm part of the 100%. If those people suffer, I suffer with them.'" By Timothy A. Clary/AFP/Getty Images.)
