Reply #71: Furthermore - I don't think your post is fair at all.

I don't think my original post should be dismissed so easily as trying to throw a wet blanket on anything.

If that was the case, I'd be defending the institutional system that keeps a tiny minority in control of the majority of the wealth.

This is more if a framing issue. Movements grow as more people are convinced. Simply being jealous of what other people have and resenting them for it, well, that motivates and mobilizies people for a brief fleeting moment. There's something deeper and so much more lasting beyond the pettiness - and that is criticism of a system that doesn't work, that never works - we've been saying for thirty years that conservative economics are broken.

Now's the chance to take to the streets and drive that point home. Rich OR poor people who resist the truth - THEY are the ones who deserve our disdain. To anyone who agrees with our vision of a more just economic structure, weclome.... no income test required.
