Please consider reading a book by Robert Reich called Aftershock. For those who don't know, Reich served in the Ford and Carter administrations - and more recently - as Secretary of Labor under Clinton. He writes about a lot of the things that OccupyWallStreet are protesting against. For example, he writes that currently, the top 1% make 400 times more income than the rest of us. Now, that may be common knowledge at this point - but you may not know that the last time the income gap was this wide was right before the Great Depression. I think after reading Reich's book, you'll see more parallels between what is going on today with the time of the Great Depression.
Good book, I've read it. I would also recommend 'The Spirit Level'.
Well, 400*0 is still 0, so I agree with you there.
ZING!
