If you want more wealth, why don't you work at producing something of value so you can recieve it without compulsion and without force.
When something like this is happening not just to one person but to EVERYBODY, it is completely irrational to blame the people it's happening to. What we have here is a change to the rules of the economic game that occurred in the 1980s.
The top 1% may be IN the top 1% because of a combination of factors including hard work, ingenuity, and dedication (as well as luck and ruthlessness) -- but a change in the STATUS of the 1% -- in the amount by which they are doing better than others -- does not happen because they have become even MORE dedicated and smart. It happens because the fix is in.
And that is the basis of the protests.
Excuse me but it is not happening to everybody. I am doing just fine in fact I have never done better than I have in the past 6 years.
Those who blame their failures on everyone else are the ones with the problem.
