The reference to the occupy movement would be that a small minority on earth controls almost the entire economy. At least that's my theory. ^^; *"Anyways, let me show you my new means of transportation..."*

OP's post was entirely a reference to the Occupy movement, which unfortunatly seems to have died out a little bit now. All the Occupy protests now just seem a bit... dull.
