Maybe the 99% protesting on wall street can create an offshoot called the 31% ?

I have to figure out why I'm not getting alerted to post comments! The thing about the content is that it's paid for by my clients. You can always just ask a client such as TheLadders for permission to repost it. My editor over there is Matthew Rothenberg, mrothenberg@theladders.com. It can be tough to get through to him. Alternatively, give me a holler if you have budget to pay for content such as this. I'd be happy to add you to my client list. Cheerio! Lisa lisavaas@lisavaas.com Hi Keith,
