Occupy Wall Street lingo in protesting rising tuition, cuts to education - Travis Fedschum, Jersey Journal

Wearing buttons that read “99%,” roughly 50 faculty teachers, staff members and students of New Jersey City University rallied Monday outside Hepburn Hall, decrying state cuts to higher education and the high cost of student loans. Adopting the slogan of the Occupy Wall Street protesters, Monday's demonstrators called for reinstatement of the “millionaires tax,” a move that Gov. Chris Christie’s administration says would drive higher-income earners out of the state.
