Dear Occupy collective, I respect and support the things that you are doing however I think that demands are too broad and un-centralized. If my opinion is of any importance I believe that the first objectives should be to revoke the act considering corporations citizens and to lobby for a steep sliding income taxation system so that the poorest receive extremely little taxation while the richest are taxed for the majority of their overall profit. Good luck, we support you!
I disagree with a steep sliding income taxation system. It creates too much median work ethic and mediocrity where everyone just do enough to get by. Instead I think we should tax privileges (like driving) but not bury that money back into the government deficit but rather right back into the community of those local drivers.
Abolish or severly limit lobbying on behalf of for profit interests. This would be a real start on cleaning up the rat's nest that congress has become.

You need to look at this on a larger context than yourself. I am well educated and from an affluent family. This is in the best interest of the rich as well; with no middle class the over all economy of the US shrinks exponentially. It is better to have a small piece of a large pie than a large piece of a small pie. You are clearly not educated in anything practical.
Tax Apple! They have $70b in cash and make $160 on each iPad and $50/iPhone! Unacceptable!
