The Tax Justice Organizing Team doesn't wear capes. They're not superheroes, they don't have a secret lair, and they're certainly not hiding behind masks. But they are extraordinary, or at lease unusual.

The Team, jointly organized by the nonprofit organizations Resource Generation and Wealth for the Common Good, is comprised of self-proclaimed members of the 1 percent of the U.S. population who control over 40 percent of the wealth, and they are taking a public stand with the other 99 percent.

Although the organizations have been around for years, they are quick to acknowledge the platform the Occupy Wall Street protests have given them. Jessie Spector, program director at Resource Generation said their organizations have always been internally focused, but that the protests have "galvanized" their community. And with this new sense of solidarity, they are moving forward with heightened confidence, and a public face.

Their new blog on Tumblr, We Stand with the 99 Percent, is really quite simple. Supporters who identify as members of the 1 percent, write a sign explaining how they have more than they need and why they believe this has to change, and then send a photo of themselves holding the sign to the blog. The Team encourages supporters to show their face, or at least some of it.

Spector believes the wealthy seek anonymity because they sense that at some level the disparity between classes is unjust, and she encourages them to be proud of their fight. "If you believe this is unjust, you should stand up for this by showing your face. If I am going to work for a more equitable society, then that is something to be proud of."

But not everyone agrees. “Most humans are built to better themselves, not throw their talents into a collective kitty usually run by corrupt killers,” wrote Bill O’Reilly in last Friday’s edition of the New York Post. O’Reilly argues that the United States is a meritocracy, and that “if you work hard and do a good job, you usually prosper, providing you practice patience.” O'Reilly wrote that the protestors are just out to get his "stuff," and that providing success and education at any cost is "impossible."

Spector responded, telling Portfolio.com, "The self-interest of the wealthy is also about making a more just, equitable society. It's not healthy for anybody to live in a society where wealth is so unjustly distributed."

Going forward, Resource Generation will continue to organize philanthropy, policy, and institutions and to help them leverage the collective power of the wealthy.

Wealth for the Common Good is taking a different tact. They want to be taxed. And they're fighting to repeal tax cuts passed during George W. Bush's time as president. Although the organizations fight for different causes, one thing is clear. In their joint project, they have become powerful friends of the 99 percent.
