No matter what you do, there will always be a 1%.

If you taxed away the income of the current 1% to a level where they were what they were pocketing was equal to the national median income, you would have successfully made them part of your group. Part of the 99%.

But guess what. There will be a whole new crop of people who become the new 1%. They won't have as much money to steal as the old 1% but they will be there at the top of the income ladder. Ready for you to attack.

And if you succeed in taking down that 1% there will new crop ripe for the picking.

And here's the real kick in the ass. If you keep it up long enough eventually you will become the 1%. I suspect you'll be banging a different drum by then.
