I mean, Obama and the 99% folks want to take what the 1 per cent possess.
This is more evil than what the ninety-niners are accusing the greedy CEO's of being.
Why?
Because "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors _blank_!"
So, if CEO's know how to make the money that Obama and his followers want, maybe Obama should step aside and let the greedy corporate CEO's run
the country and let them do what they do best?
You seem to have missed the point. OWS does not want what the 1% has, they want the 1% to stop gaming the system...or better yet, for the system to
stop giving them this nations wealth.
They took trillions and trillions by fraud in unregulated ponzi schemes. Bernie Madoff was just the tip of that iceberg. And when their ponzi scheme
was exposed rather than eat the loss, they went to the US government who rather than prosecute, directly gave them Trillions in taxpayer dollars. All
the while enjoying historically low tax rates and a phone book of tax-loop holes to protect what they take.
No one wants to steal from the richest 1%...we would like an
equal and honest playing field.
This country is in serious trouble....
