Fredo - I agree with almost every single item you have written with one exception: We already have a system where the rich pay a disproportionate share of the taxes yet she wants the "resources redistributed." I would like to see evidence that the rich pay an unfair share of taxes. Please share? More »

Please read earlier for my discourse regarding Occupy being an invitation for everyone who feels like something is wrong to actively engage in the course correction.
