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.
I never understood the covetous nature of Liberals.
What coveting? Most of us don't want this for ourselves.
I never understood the selfish nature of Conservatives.
Excuse me but it is not happening to everybody.

[Shrug.] A small exaggeration. Pardon me; make that almost everyone.
Median household income has declined over the past thirty years even if yours, personally, hasn't. That doesn't make you a lesson to be learned from, it makes you an anomaly.
It is absurd to blame the people who have lost ground for their problems. There are too many of them for that to have any credibility. We have not suddenly become a nation of losers. No, what's happened is that the bar of success has been raised, and so efforts that would have resulted in a win decades ago now result in a loss.
That needs to change.

The imbalance in wealth and equity isn't a harmless event.
Additionally it isn't because the rich have increased their contibution to society either.
This phenomena is directly the result of LAWS and POLCIES that are giving them a greater adn greater share of the national wealth.
And we can fix this by changing those laws and policies, and when we do this economy will once again become a more healthy economy.
Ironically, the wealthy will actually become weathier overall once the economy recovers for over 40 years of Supply side advantages.

It's more absurd to ignore the source of our problems.
Wall Street ran a $516 trillion dollar derivatives Ponzi scheme that destroyed our economy.

It's absurd for people to blame their problems on everyone else.
It's not at all absurd for almost everyone to blame their problems on a few people that are clearly causing them.

oh really, when did people blame themselves?
Here's one of hundreds of suspects.It's more absurd to ignore the source of our problems.

And who on wall street did this? Why isnt the Obama administration prosecuting them?
To think they are solely responsible for the economic collapse is foolish.

While "take responsibility for your own life" is a good rule of thumb, there are circumstances in which villains really are to blame. The Jews who died at Auschwitz did not all commit suicide. Neither did the workers who were killed in the Triangle Shirt Factory fire. Nor were the slaves before the Civil War responsible for their circumstances.
The rules were re-written in the 1980s to funnel the nation's wealth to its wealthiest people, to raise the bar of success, to set things up so that the rich would get richer at the expense of everyone else. That is the reason why so many people are in such bad shape today, and also why our economy is in such bad shape. To point this out and demand redress is not whining, failure to rake responsibility for one's life, or any other such simple-minded one-dimensional non-thinking canard. It is a perfectly appropriate approach to a real situation.
