when people talk or post about the negative consequences of the 1%, and people infer that we mean everything the 1% does is somehow wrong. No, they don't have everything wrong. The fundamentals of the system that allows for the issues we have with the 1% are flawed, not the 1% itself. Don't get mad because they have seccessfully grown with the system. Get mad because of the system. It has flaws that we can fix, if we work together.

If the 1% would be more generous with their earning, less focused on constant growth of their businesses and/or portfolio - people wouldn't be in such a tizzy. While I don't necessarily look at all of the super rich as bad people, they do have a hand in perpetuating the system, and many of them aren't looking out for their employees like they could.

By whom do you think system could be changed? Me and you standing all together singing peaceful songs and gathering in multiple locations all over the country. Which is dump! This leaderless movement is misleading people. At least you have to have 2 party at one meeting place. one peaceful and official, and another violent and unofficial. Sort of occupy the prison situation, where they will be unable to place you over there. all, all, all in together now!
