Comments on: 99 percenters’ top 5 grievances against the 1 percent https://occasionalplanet.org/2012/02/07/99-percenters-top-5-grievances-against-the-1-percent/ Progressive Voices Speaking Out Tue, 14 Feb 2012 20:40:00 +0000 hourly 1 By: Mike https://occasionalplanet.org/2012/02/07/99-percenters-top-5-grievances-against-the-1-percent/#comment-2239 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 20:40:00 +0000 http://www.occasionalplanet.org/?p=14271#comment-2239 Thanks for the article.  I have been curious about the mindset of the self-proclaimed 99% and this helps.

Since TEA partiers and occupiers are describing the same condition,  you may be interested in a different perspective… 

1.  The largest and most serious complaint is that the wealthy use the power money buys to “game the system.”Restrict the scope of the government to the Constitution.  Power corrupts.2.  The 1% are now buying America’s elections thanks to the Citizens United decision.Self-educate.  Accepting a TV commercial (or any propaganda) at face value is intellectual laziness and emboldens the would-be manipulators.3.  The 1% and their corporations do not pay their fair share of taxes. Taxes need to be made *plain* before they can be made “fair.”  Even the Secretary of the Treasury admitted he could not decern his “fair share” in the past.4.  The 1% use their wealth in a shady manner to undercut legitimate opposition to their actions.See point #1.  + expose Monsanto/Xe5.  The super wealthy are actually benefitting from the suffering of others.Liquidating toxic assets is a good thing.  Propping them up as something which they are not will prolong the adjustment period and encourage malinvestment.
