Occupy Wall St.

[Gandalf]

And Lyle there is NOTHING wrong with wealth redistribution. People are not advocating that there be communism, but a certain degree of leveling out. Middle class people should not be paying proportionally more tax than the super rich, who wriggle their way out by bribing government and using accountants to find loopholes that normal people cannot use. That is unfair and unjustified. Rich people should pay more into the system than the poor and that is what makes a more stable and fair society. It has always been this way in successfully run economies. Countries that let the rich off the hook become what America has now become, a walking disaster.

People are now left with so little that they are taking to the streets and so they should. There is nothing hippie, nor radical about wanting a more justified and fair society. Democratic socialism is the most common form of democracy in the world. It is proven and it works. However, Britain and America are trying to destroy it and they are having a good go of it in Greece too. Nobody should accept Friedman style economics nor allow the IMF to dictate terms. They are insidious and corrupt ways of justifying banker supremacy and gross inequalities within societies.

There are far better methods and until the imbalance is addressed, you may very well see a new global rebellion take place in the west. And bring it on I say.
