My head snapped when I heard on CBC Radio today the term “one per center” used to refer to the richest one per cent of society. It was during a discussion of the grass roots protests against banking and financial institutions that’s currently underway.
Readers of this blog likely associate the term “one per center” with outlaw bikers: the ones who identify themselves with “1 %” crests on their colours.
So it seems that, after snaring most of society’s money, our ultra-rich are also getting the coveted term that bad-ass bikers use to identify themselves. When will the pillaging stop?
