“We are the 99%”, the slogan of OWS, is a reference to income inequality. An equally valid slogan might be: “We get 58%”, the share of income that goes to workers rather than to investors. If wages were at their 63% postwar average workers would earn an extra $740bn this year, about $5,000 per worker.
