Forum Post: Richard Wilkinson: How economic inequality harms societies

I think this video explains in a nutshell what the Occupy Wall Street protest is really all about.

It IS NOT about handouts or blame, or promoting socialism or communism or ending capitalism. It's about reevaluating our priorities economically and politically, and making sure those who are meant to represent ALL of us, put the interests of people before profits and corporations, and before the interests of a few millionaires and billionaires who donate to their campaigns. It's about fairness and ending economic corruption that has put us all in jeopardy.
