This link details a story about the recent spate of graffiti afflicting the upper-crust enclave of Atherton, CA. This is no ordinary graffiti, either - it's graffiti directed at the 1% who live there, and that has the local denizens quaking in their Uggs. The very theme of the graffiti has local law enforcement involving the FBI - after all, Occupy Wall Street might be rearing it's ugly head (to nearly quote from the article).
Note how the author already implicates Occupy, without any conclusive proof that they had any involvement. Note the dismissive tone given to the 99-percenters, and the two linked articles telling the same to "stop bellyaching", and how the 1 percent feels unloved.
This should be expected from CNBC - an outlet of rich people talking to other rich people. But I can't help but be irritated at the arrogance of the "job creators", and to grin somewhat about the fact that Occupy has gotten into these people's heads. This is what happens when we lose our middle class - the tony classes are seeing the plebs at the gates, literally.
