George Orwell once wrote that if you want a vision of the future in Chapter 3 of the book 1984, "imagine a boot stamping on a human face -- forever."
I read this book when I was in high school and never thought that in the 21st century that much of what was written in George Orwell's book would be a reality in the U.S. And it is very frightening. Check out the pyramid of social classes from Orwell's book:
(I) the upper-class Inner Party, (II) the middle-class Outer Party, and (III) the lower-class Proles (from proletariat), who make up 85 per cent of the population and represent the working class.
Isn't that what the Occupy Wall Street protesters are fighting against: 1%?
