Bringing OWS into this is tangential at best. It is akin to answering a question about white people by specifically and repeatedly referencing the KKK under the guise that they claim to speak for "white people" what ever that means. OWS is a relative small part of the 99%. You just would rather talk about it then the actual question of the who do you support 99% of Americans, corporations, or other.
There was no babble about the 99% until OWS was organized.

Sorry.
You own them.
Again you seem so anxious to talk about OWS, it is as though you have an obsession with them. I personally think this thread poses a far more interesting question as to the relative value of (large?) corporations and the very wealthy to society versus the rest of the population.
The 99% are the lowest income/least wealthy 99% of Americans. The reason 99% is used as a symbol, most likely stems from the rapidly increasing gini coefficient of America.

Americans who earn over $343,000 a year are the problem?
What government system currently has no wealth gap?
Every system has a wealth gap. The trick is to keep it in a manageable range. The fact is if you get a wealth gap that is to big that is when you start getting Communists and I mean real Communists like the kind they had in Russia and Latin America.

Yeah, how did those revolutions work out for the underclass? Aren't they still poor?
I support people who can best serve other people locally. Corporations out of control are akin to large governments out of control and end up doing no one in the whole society good, much less the people that they initially were formed to cater to.
