The whole problem is excessive greed. Money controls everything, until there's a revolution. But the greed and and the lobbying power and control of government of those 1%ers is horrendous and they really are oblivious to everyone at the middle or bottom of the pile that they squeezed to get there. And those Wall Street firms don't do anything, no manufacturing or providing of any valuable service, instead they concoct new ways to manipulate the market and make money, like derivatives, subprime mortgages to suck people in to spending more than they can afford, and betting on something to fail. Does anybody know what exactly a derivative is other than some kind of bad-ass scheme to make money?
And there was no investigation or prosecution of anyone of them that got this country into this mess. Not when they're in control and the politicians rely on their backing. Environmental destruction to make a buck is also the norm. This movement may not go anywhere right now but it may build into something really significant. The TEA party started like this, You would think that there would be some honest politicians who might pay some attention to their gripes and do something constructive, instead of blocking everything to do nothing except try and get rid of Obama so they can further their goals even more.
