“Occupy DC: A 1-Percenter Makes Common Cause With The Other 99″

HuffPost DC chats with a millionaire who’s joined Occupy DC protesters. Virginia Leavell, who inherited her money, says she comes from generations of southern land owners.


“I was born in the 1 percent because of my family, and I am working really hard for the radical redistribution of wealth,” Leavell said. “Because that’s the right thing to do. I want very much to live in a world where we all have equal access to resources and we all can get what we need to live comfortably. It’s against my self-interest.”
