They effectively call themselves the "99%," referring to the overwhelming number of citizens presently screwed by the nation's wealthiest one percent.
What started as an impromptu New York park sit-in to protest financial abuses by Wall Street has spawned "Occupy" squats in hundreds of cities across the United States and abroad.
But the most powerful symbol of the protest movement's significance is its choice of a graphic emblem: the "V for Vendetta" mask worn by a fictional opponent of corruption and social injustice.
