Are you guys still working towards that whole "revolution, not reform" stuff? You guys realize that historically, the revolutionaries don't make out so well, right? They typically cause the revolution and then some ego maniac takes power and kills them? You guys may want to consider making changes at the ballot box.....or maybe read a history book......just saying.

The Tea party was useful in getting the republican party to understand we can't pay for endless military adventures.
OWS can be used agains wealth concentration (which equates to power concentration to unelected individuals and a renewed royalty class).

Plutocracies are terrible for democracy. Wealth concentration has all kinds of terrible side effects. Politicians are more likely to be puppets and corruption is typically far more prevalent, speculators are more likely to run wild with oil, and it ultimately means the middle class is has less buying power and therefore less pull. And when the poor and whats left of the middle classes are disenfranchised it's terrible for stability.

Occupy’s amazing Volcker Rule letter
One of the saddest aspects of the financialization of the US economy is the way in which America's best and brightest found themselves working on Wall Street, rather than in jobs which improved the state of the world. Proof of this comes from the absolutely astonishing 325-page comment letter on the Volcker Rule which has been put together by Occupy the SEC.

The top 1% people need to be bumped to clinton level taxes and the top .01% need to be bumped to something even higher. And the .001% even higher. Reagan got rid of the graduated tax scale for the super super rich, beyond 1%ers, and that has directly contributed to the creation of many more super super wealthy (again way beyond 1% ers).

It would be significant but we have to cut spending by a lot too. In a perfect world we would get our financial house in order and then find ways to funnel money to the poor and middle classes in a productive way since there will never be enough low skill jobs in this day and age when we are so efficient with creating products and wealth that we won't ever need a big labor force again.

It's a complex figure. I wouldn't consider it a "cop out" when it's a number that's hard to figure. The CBO put a number on the bush tax cuts though.. might be a place to start trying to figure it out.

And some figures taken from that CBO study above

Man, I sure get a lot of shit right. BOOM
This country was built by people who worked hard then went home and had just a few too many every night. Then went back to work.

Yea, but when will Obama understand this??
Not that his wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Libya, 4 African countries I can't name without doing research, and now possibly Syria and Iran aren't lovely. Let's just say this......if I LOVED war. If I just wanted our President to get involved in almost every country in the world, bomb the shit out of brown people, overthrow governments, etc, etc....Obama would get my vote.
