I know. I'm just trying to make a point.

The thing about the Occupy Wall Street people is that they're not talking about socialist ideals or saying they don't want to work. What they're saying is they're outraged over the system - not the system of capitalism - but what the system has mutated into. This video sums it up nicely (he doesn't really get to the point until 1:50).

I think he's right. You have the super rich and connected buying politicians and lobbying to get what they want. All these deregulated banks took all these crazy risks to the point of collapse, and then got bailed out with tax payer dollars, only for them to turn around and hoard that bailout money and and then use it to further lobby Washington so no reforms get passed to discipline them or modify their behavior. It's insane.

That's what the movement is about.
