They’re not going to be easily satisfied with hollow political promises to create more jobs. The best way to do that is of course to provide tax incentives for small businesses to expand. However, it’s hard to imagine that this will be on their agenda. Or will it? The possibility exists, but only if those who assume leadership of the “Occupy” movement understand that, unlike the big banks, not all businesses are parasitic and in bed with the ringleaders of our incurably corrupt political system. Perhaps those rooting for a revival of honest capitalism should take as a hopeful sign the moment of silence observed for Steve Jobs last week by Wall Street protestors.

Not all businesses are inherently evil. Not all rich people are evil. But like with any group you have to pick the good out from the bad. And when you get all the good out throw out the basket of bad and replace it.
I know many many small businesses that take advantage of workers and consumers both just like their big counterpart. Then i know some small businesses that just want to make an honest pay for honest work.
I dont like people pushing we need a leader though. A leader should evolve from within if at all. The people had leaders before and they failed us miserably for decades. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth for leaders.
I like the freedom of the OWS within. Everyone can speak and everyone is heard. A leader kind of takes that away from us. Because then its about the leader being heard. It almost takes away from the unity. Maybe a small group of leaders? I would feel better with a small group like a council. People are harder to corrupt in groups than individually and you know they will try.
