Those who say the 99%ers are demonizing the 1% are creating the straw man argument. Saying one is among the 99% and wishing that legislation does not ignore them in favor of the 1% is a statement about govenment legislation, not about the 1%.
The 1% should not be so sensitive and defensive, unless they agree that they need to defend policies that favor the 1% and ignore the 99%.
The issue is about policies, not about classes. A simple example from elementary school is that honorable and fair students hate being the teacher's pet as much as those who are not.
