I have to agree with him. I don't think top 1% are to blame, definitely somewhere in the top 1%... Maybe top 0.20% are the thiefs, the rest are opportunists. H

I have to agree with him. I don't think top 1% are to blame, definitely somewhere in the top 1%... Maybe top 0.20% are the thiefs, the rest are opportunists. However it is true, many of the OWS are unskilled laborers, we need those less and less, and care less and less about them. We care about them as luxuries, and when the going gets tough, we get rid of these luxuries. We also have a population growth and a parralel technological growth (you may even say technology allowed population growth), and of course more population = more needed jobs, and technology = less needed jobs. Go figure. The failing of the government is forseeing this. The only solution is a complete gutting of the education system. The #1 most desired job in America needs to be a teacher, specifically a math teacher, and that job should be insanely hard to fill.

It's never been directly about the top 1%. It's about politicians and legislation that don't favor the general public. Years of such legislation have led to a top 1% having a disproportionate amount of wealth and a general public that is getting dumber, sicker, and poorer. I think opposition to legislation that favor the rich is often confused with opposition to the rich directly. This confusion is exactly what undermines our ability to focus on real problems and progress.
