Haha. What do
I have to say? I think these people are largely spoiled asses who have no clue about poverty, economics, or even hard work. I think they look at a world that doesn't put quite as much wealth into their pockets as they wish and they see other people with more wealth and they whine about it. I think these people imagine that with more regulation and an even more redistributionist tax system that the world would be just oh so much better and "fairer" and they would get the comfort and riches that they justifiably deserve.
I don't believe that. I think regulation, excessive taxation, and excessive government spending are at the core of our problems, and even a major contributor to the growing disparity of wealth. I think we would be better off with a smaller government, less taxation, and greater individual personal responsibility. I think we'd be better off with a degree of regulation that encouraged individual saving, entrepreneurism, and self-reliance. I don't think people understand how so much of our labor laws and regulations actually increase the power and entrenchment of big corporations. I'd rather see a world where the average worker has little debt (other than real-estate), tends towards freelancing or self-employment, has much more control of their own career advancement, and works as many hours as they want depending on their personal choice of balance of income vs. free time. And I see the "occupy wallstreet" / "99%" demonstrators and their incoherent whining as being actively detrimental toward progress in that direction.
That said, I still support their right to protest peacefully.
