Eh...
The one thing that all of us can do is vote with our feet.
I long ago moved my money to a bank that was not involved in the derivatives Ponzi scheme.
A lot of people are starting to look at credit unions, too.

That's a good idea.
Why reward the people who screwing America?
The banks, the insurance companies, and the oil companies.

Derek Thompson said:[T]he average 99th percenter makes more in a year than somebody in the bottom quintile would make in 150 years.
I don't think wealth is as good an indicator as income; because those with a lower income will have substantially less wealth saved away (particularly in a system with safety nets like social security, where the gov't taxes and returns).
Here is a better graph:

Notice it is nearly as bleak.

"These people that we are dealing with at the top are political chameleons who have no interest in the survival of the nation, only the endurance of their egos and pride."
These people we are dealing with at the bottom, who are trying to bring down the hand that feeds most of them, are doing the GOP a great favor, in the long run. The Independents are watching and guess on whose side they won't wish to be....
"Gen X was popularized as an advertising term. Marketers used the label to describe the young people of the late 80s. The focus was on how to sell goods to the MTV generation.
Advertisements at that time, just as one example, started to feature unmarried couples to appeal to this group of consumers. This was a first and in the early 90s it was pushing the envelope. It apparently resonated. The advertisers gauged correctly: They successfully sold their products to Americans with the now documented lowest marriage rate in history.
The argument could be made (mainly by those who want to take us back to a mythical innocent time of the supposedly recent past) that its advertisers whove corrupted our culture and changed whats socially acceptable through their manipulations. Or, if you have sold your proverbial soul to the gods of unfettered commerce like the rightwing self-described Culture Warriors, or the (formerly) Moral (former) Majority advertisements are the market speaking for the greater culture at large. And the greater culture, funny enough, largely disagrees with the rightwing."
I probably will get flamed for this, but I am begging everyone of this board to at least consider the merits of OWS (Occupy Wall Street). What we have seen for quite some time now is the purposeful division of our society along very few issues. (Gun control, gay marriage, abortion, etc.) At the same time, we have seen the Treasury gutted, our Civil Liberties curtailed, and the normalization of a permanent state of war.
It doesn't matter which vetted politician is in charge, (Obama, Bush, Clinton) we get tossed to the side all the same. Both Bush and Obama bailed out the banks. Obama continues to throw the Bill of Rights out the window.
I am sure everyone knows that the laundry list of problems looks endless, but we must recognize that a many faced monster turns us against each other while reaching into our pocketbooks. These few that attempt to steer hatred of our fellow citizens into our lives have no political agenda, they are only concerned about their own gain, and they win every time a liberal calls a conservative a fascist or a tea bagger, or a conservative calls a liberal a hippie or a commie. These people that we are dealing with at the top are political chameleons who have no interest in the survival of the nation, only the endurance of their egos and pride.
Long live the Republic.
