It looks the OWS protestors struck a chord with the VAST MAJORITY of America....

Polls taken in recent weeks have suggested that the basic message of the Occupy Wall Street protesters--that too much of country's economic gains go to the very richest Americans, and too little to ordinary folks--is popular. And a new survey offers further evidence

Seventy-six percent of respondents to a NBC/Wall Street Journal poll say they agree with a statement that essentially conveys the protesters' platform. Sixty percent say they strongly agree with it.

"....America needs to reduce the power of major banks and corporations and demand greater accountability and transparency. The government should not provide financial aid to corporations and should not provide tax breaks to the rich."

Here's my advise to you and the OWS crowd: If you want to have a better, more fun experience while you're still here on Earth, stop being such a fucking loser. It's not appealing to anyone. Besides, pulling down people who have succeeded won't wash the loser off you.

Here's some advice for you.... stop trying to pretend you're all that successful.

Which is why OWS is MUCH more popular than Wall Street.
 
from the linked piece...

Still, a statement that aligns closely with what Republicans say we should do about the economy--cutting spending, scrapping regulations, and not raising taxes, even on the rich--also receives significant, though lower, support. Fifty-three percent say they agree with that platform, with 33 percent saying they strongly agree.

Here is how that statement reads: "The national debt must be cut significantly by reducing spending and the size of government, including eliminating some federal agencies and programs. Regulations on businesses by the federal government should be reduced and instead, the private sector and individuals should have greater control. The government should not raise taxes on anyone."
 
out of balance because the government keeps tinkering with it.

Yeah it's kind of hard to have a balance with the economy when the Government takes money from it and hands it to who pays them off the most... Then of course you have idiots protesting this inequality as they turn around and vote for the people that perpetuate the problem (Bush/Obama).
 
Who the fuck are the other 24%? Oh, that's right. Sorry USMB Republicans. For a moment, I forgot you were here.
 
No worries. If Vonnegut was as prophetic as he was artistic, the "balanced economy" (and balanced equality) is only 70 years away.
