Here's the problem Jim. You don't know supply and demand, the need for derivatives but the evil within them, what glass-stegall does, or frankly how bad occupy would be for the lower class. Frankly, we need a mandatory economics, both micro and macro class, at every high school. The system isn't broken toward the rich for the most part. The 99% pay roughly the taxes of medicare, medicaid, and social security. They are bankrupting our system. They weren't meant to do the job of the church. Medicare is scammed by HMO's all the time, case and point Chemed's Vitas, the largest healthcare system in the country. Some things shouldn't be privatized, yes that's true. So there is some corporate corruption, but Sarbaynes Oxly is doing a good job.

Bush spent less on the other areas of government as a percent of GDP than any president since FDR besides the second half of clinton. That's including the wars. The wars weren't costly. Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid are unsusstainable at their current rates. Increasing taxes will decrease jobs. Once again, supply demand. Go to your local college, take a business class. You can learn how you are simply wrong 

Lastly, derivatives are necessary insurance. Should speculators have to disclose every purchase? Yes. Should glass-stegall come back at least in part? Yes. But there's not a problem with the rich v. the poor. Unions need to be trustbusted as much if not more than Corporations. God never called for us to spend beyond our means and go into massive debt. The Ten Minas is about more than just talents, it's a finacial model. We are supposed to invest and grow money. We are supposed to do this without greed. Every able body should work. However, philathropy is a good goal.

Carl Lindner deserved the front page article on here when he died. He was the epitomy of a super rich man that lived to serve the poor. He grew his hundreds of millions but donated billions. He bought a baseball team to keep a city happy. He self-reported an ethics violation in chiquitta bananas. Capitalism has its downfalls, but the Occupy movement is not a solution. It's a problem. It's not Christian and never will be Christian. It's built on greed and false information. The people funding it are people who get rich off shorting derivatives. They are evil, greedy people. Soros is evil. Jim, I love you, but you are simply wrong. The poor would be worse off like Greece if we followed occupy.

Seriously Jim, stop writing on occupy until you take an economics class. Have both sides and both opinions. Supporting the poor when they are greedy is wrong. What occupy wants would hurt the lower class. I can guarentee that. As someone who has a 10 year plan to eventually live off interest and donate 100% of my money to the church and the poor, I can tell you that. I speak with the authority of someone who has studied the theory and knows that the only element that can change these models is people's perceptions or less competition abroad. However, eventually, people's perceptions would not be able to spur on new jobs due to competition abroad. So if China and India are nuked, God forbid, raising taxes could be okay. Otherwise, we should lower corporate and close loopholes.
