or do you mean it's the cops job to protect the majority? Majority of what? There are more protesters there than innocent by standers.Quote from oldtime:

It would be pretty funny to restore order in the park with about a dozen Clydesdales. Have one of them step on your foot,
Quote from sle:
(a) The graph on the right does not seem to have any connection to reality. 2mm household income is definitely not top 1% and not even top .1%. There is less then 100k tax payers in this country that have this kind of income.
(b) Somehow it escapes these people that to get to 1% or anywhere in life you have to work, rather then sit on your arse in lower Manhattan. I am all for making sure that people do not starve and have a cushion in case they fail. So yes, I am willing to pay more on the margin (even though it's like 48% already) but please do not villify me while taking my money at the same time.

Ok, who is villyfying whom? Well, when I started at Bankers Trust in 1995, mentioning that you work on Wall Streetn at a bar was (almost) a guaranteed blowjob. These days it's a guaranteed kick in the nuts. If I had to say it, it seems that I went from being a regular Joe to the "Supreme Destroyer of The American Society". I am proud!Quote from failed_trad3r:
If you look at the media who villyfying who?
it's pretty good for a regular joe become a supreme anything. But I think you are suffering from delusions of grandeaure. (or however you spell it.)Quote from sle:
