Right now, according to the latest jobs bill, 1 million dollars if the line that delineates the wealthy from the not wealthy. So the 99% is protesting against the 1%. That is great. Obama and the rest of his cadre are proposing taxes on the wealthy, new regulations on the wealthy. When these plans fail; when the "1%" are either bled dry or move their business overseas, I imagine that $250,000 will be the new wealth line. When they are sqeezed of their excess wealth, will $100,000 be the new line. Perhaps it will be $25,000. When will it end? When will the re-distibution of wealth from the producers to the parasites be complete? It will be complete when there are no more producers and the American people will be at the tender mercies of their government. I believe in free speach and the right to protest. However, beware of what you wish for. You will reap bitter fruit.
Simple mind, there are more than just two groups of people in this country " producers" and "parasites"' ... Simple simple mind
For lack of a coherent platform, I thought I would simplifying things. Do not bring down the 1%. Aspire to join the 1%

lol,. logic not your strong suit?
You really have no clue what is going on do you? Stop believing that hogwash. That is what got us into this mess is stupid brainwashing schemes like: Reaganomics, Free trade creates jobs( yeah just not here), Corporations are people too, Businesses are "job creators", If you tax the wealthy they will get mad and leave,etc.
Its all Brainwashing and propaganda.
For better or worse, it is hogwash I believe in. At this stage I prefer politics of greed over politics of need, if we must have any politics at all which I prefer not to. Government does not create jobs. They can sign pieces of paper, but they cannot produce a single widget that anyone needs. I hardly think anymore of their intervention will be of any help. I believe if more people understood that, they could find solutions themselves
perhaps you should look at government as the collective will of the people,. not some outside entity. government is not that now,. that is what the noise is about.
You should ask all the govt employees about if the govt creates jobs or not, or all the road construction workers, or defense contractors, or anyone that knows anything about economics. The govt can create jobs by changing policies. The current politicians just do not make the right changes and fill it so full of BS that it really waters it down so its not effective at doing anything but creating more paperwork.
Greed is what got us into this situation. I dont think you really understand what this movement is about. From my impression, you seem to think we all want hand me outs and that could not be further from the truth.
Also their is no solution when the top 10% own over 70% of the wealth in the country over 40% of which is in the hands of the top 1%. The only solution is to keep living like indentured servants. Did you know 50 mil americans live in poverty and it keeps going up? Did you know that the mean wage for the bottom 90% of America is $32k a year?
We are fighting to balance the inequality out in this country amount other things.
Take a look at the inequality: http://motherjones.com/politics/2011/02/income-inequality-in-america-chart-graph
