What Am I?

For most of my adult life I've called myself a "socialist". Now I call myself "socialistic".
I am rooting hard for the Occupy Wall Street movement to "be successful", whatever that means.
Is it over already?

When the big crash and big bailout happened a few years ago, I bought stock from Bank of America, AIG, Citigroup, and others, because the price was cheap, which it still is.

So my question is: what am I? Am I part of the OWS movement, or...am I a member of the elite wealthy illuminati? Maybe I need more stock to be a member of the latter, but the question is: how much more do I need? I think, in theory, if I'm not wrong, that I could attend any shareholders meeting of any of these corporations, and have a vote. So I have some power, right?

How much more wealth and power would I need to be a member of the ruling corporate elite?

Or maybe, just maybe, I'm a hybrid, a mongrel, if you will, part poor protestor, 99%er, and one percent corporate elite.
