Occupy Wall Street

[Crazed Rabbit]

After seeing that it's mostly the same ole socialist protesters, and that many whiny college students* identify with them, I've changed my opinion to one of indifferent contempt (I hate police brutality, but sometimes I just want to see a socialist scumbag get hit).

The real key isn't Wall Street getting special treatment because they make loads of many - it's the political class and those they favor vs the rest of us. Wall Street doesn't have the power - our huge government, which creeps into more and more facets of our lives every year, has the power. The power to destroy your life for violating one of thousands and thousands of federal crime (criminal intent no longer required for many new crimes!), to pick winners and losers (see the loans to that solar panel company, and the bailed out banks) in our economy, and the power to run our lives by controlling what we eat, drink, what we can own, etc.
