As to your claim of what the occupiers want...you are refusing to admit what they are actually saying, things like debt elimination.
You did bring up a point about the rich getting richer. Allow me to address that.
EARTH TO PAULS, SPENCE, AND OBAMA...
Yes, the rich usually get richer. Guess what? That doesn't do a SINGLE THING to reduce the chances of a poor person getting rich. PaulS, repeat this..."wealth is not finite, it's not like a pizza". If Warren Buffet earns another million today (and he will), that DOES NOT mean that there's a million less for the rest of us.
For the most part, the existence of rich folks has NO DETRIMENTAL impact to anyone else. In fact, we are BETTER OFF thanks to rich folks, because they pay a whole lot of taxes (reducing the burden on the rest of us), they give a lot to charity, and many of them create jobs.
Bill Gates and Oprah Winfey aren't holding anyone else back. They might make easy villains to simple-minded marxists, but the facts don't even come close to backing that up.
