I have to say that I share most — if not all — the goals of the honest Left, which would be embodied in a constantly rising standard of living for the lowest economic classes. I often find myself watching 'Democracy Now' for its antiwar, free-speech, and anti-death-penalty stances. But the big problem with the honest Left is their absolute and obstinate refusal to learn the most basic economic principles. The "Occupy Wall Street" movement is no different, and it is a real pity that all this energy and frustration can't be put to use toward achieving their goal.
Many demands are being made, but sadly, if these were ever implemented, they would make problems worse by lowering the standard of living for all — especially for the poor!

I recommend confiscating Goldman-Sachs and using specific taxes to provide funds earmarked for specific services.

Whenever I hear the word 'Mises' I know I am going to hear something about inflation and how government can't set prices, I don't think my proposals are printing money or setting prices. I believe in reallocating money from the people who are destroying the economy, limiting tax rates, and establishing new rights and regulations for the problems of the 21st century.
