We are the Tumblrs

If you haven't been following the conversation around Occupy Wall
Street, it's perhaps best summarized in terms of the Tumblrs.
First there were the 99 percent, who have been demonstrating in
New York and elsewhere for weeks.

Then there was the backlash from the so-called 53 percent.
Conservative blogger Erick Erickson inaugurated this Tumblr with the claim that
the 53 percent of Americans who pay federal income taxes are "subsidizing
[protesters] so you can hang out on Wall Street and complain."

Of course, the other 47 percent aren't dodging income tax
liability; they simply don't have any after the deductions and
exemptions and credits written into the tax code. Think that should change?
Okay, but call that idea what it is: a tax hike on lower-income people. It's also
fairly odd to use this 53/47 stat to attack Occupy Wall Street, since a lot more people would owe federal income tax
if Wall Street hadn't done such a number on the economy (and thus on their
incomes). Erickson's argument boils down to "Get a job. How hard can it be?" Well, pretty hard.
