political empowerment of the bottom 99%. The bottom 99% of American people or even the bottom 70% or the bottom 1% for that matter are going to have a wide variety of opinions on everything and anything - It includes people with very liberal social attitudes and people with some very conservative social attitudes. It will includes some very religious people and some completely irreligious people.It includes people with a variety of opinions about almost every issue. But the simple demand that priorities of society must shift from only satisfying the wants of the top 1% to focusing on satisfying the needs of the bottom 99%. This alone is the only issue that can give credibility to a movement that claims to speak on behalf of the 99%

Those who have other issues should of course be free to work on those other issues as much as they see fit. But no movement can claim to speak on behalf of the bottom 99% if they demand any litmus test other than a commitment to the economic and political empowerment of the bottom 99%
