[QUOTE="helenofcalifornia, post: 886272, member: 5170"] I think the major point of the OWS movement is the obscene amount of wealth in the very few pockets and not many taxes being paid on it because the rich are supposed to be creating all these jobs. Hello, 11% unemployment out here. Where are the jobs that you can live on? Are our children who are not blessed with the wherewithall (?) to go to school and get a good paying job, supposed to adjust to permanently having both parents work two jobs to afford the basics? I don't think the OWS movement is the bunch of looney tunes that are being highlighted here. Anymore than the very wacky element of the Tea Party are wholly typical of that movement. Let's agree that the Tea Party movement brought to the forefront our crushing national debt and that we must do something about it and the OWS is saying "Hello, 4% of the people earn more than 150,000,000 Americans! Poor getting poorer and rich getting very richer." A statistic online today said the CEO's in America are compensated 450:1 to average American wage earner. In Japan, it's 12:1. JMHO [/QUOTE]
