I'm thinking about starting a movement protesting the 99%. How do you think that would go down here in Chicago?

Confine it to messages in the windows.

Huh? I'm not really sure I understand what you are saying (or you not understand what I'm saying.)

My point was that all the rhetoric about the 'rich' might sound like its about the super-ultra rich that isn't you, but when the rules are finally set, don't be surprised the bars are so low you are now considered 'rich'.

Let's not forget how alternative minimum tax evolved over the decades. It's only suppose to the ultra rich, right? Now you can easily trip it if you are single makes around 200k.

If they make $125k/year why would "they" come for your $125k/year?

I was thinking about getting a bunch of people with signs standing right across the street from them. Might make the news no? LOL.

Just remember - liberals are violent people. Bing a can of bear mace but you might get arrested for defending yourselves.

Great Idea........Complain that the 99% have squandered all the assets of the Government. For making poor life choices and placing an undue burden on the 1%.

Quote from Ricter:

I would hope the protests, and for the most part it appears to be true, are more about a society that has such a striking 1%/99% divide in the first place. There are people in this world who will not, on principle, engage in immoral or unethical behavior merely because it is profitable. No, it is not enough to say, "it's legal".

No one gets rich without helping others get what they want.
I am not going to make a dollar selling you anything unless you are willing to pay me for that item. Could I trick you into buying that product? Yes, but I wont get wealthy taking that type of risk.

1%/99% issue.....This is a problem when a society creates so much wealth like the US has in the last 40 years. The good part is that simple luxuries become affordable to the poor, like cars, cell phones, flat screens, college....
Monetary growth will give more dollars to the higher earners by any measure.
The overall lifestyle of the poor is much higher with wealth growth.
