We agree there: <misses the mark when protesting on wall street as opposed to the capitol hill and the fed building. > But of course there's no need to go to the Fed, so you are wrong in part. Mqurice

TJ, the problem is the system which failed ot close all loopholes by legislation including election contributions In general I would agree with >>the wrong target of 1% is more clearly wrong in that unless the top 30% are wiped out, erased, downsized, or seriously adjusted, there would always be yet another 1% to be tee-up for reset. such 'moements' had never really ended well in the past.<< At issue is for example one little fact - ALL the success of AAPL is granted to Steve Jobs, true he was a visionary just by pure luck of his genome makeup nothing else - Heaven gave this to him at birth. Does this mean that the production worker on the assembly line did not contribute to the company success? Yes he was inspired by Steve Jobs to work harder and better - therefore even he should be compensated by this in granting him stock option in a proportionate way with ALL AAPL workers and ratios of amount of stock option should be defined in law as free markets do not work and board of directors are all "buddies" and corrupt This I would call true capitalism - gather around those that have a vision improve society wellbeing with the products you produce work harder and earn more. There should be a special income tax discount for those involved in producing “widgets” or designing products if hardware or medicine etc., in comparison to the “paper shuffler” who do not contribute to the wellbeing of society and do not produce any useful products, like WS, Banks, Insurance, Hedge Funds and LBO firms which should pay regular taxes and not only capital gain taxes.
