1. You obviously haven't considered any alternative except the ones where you win.

2. Worse for who???

3. Corruption will always be with us. It is the nature of human beings.

Something Very Big Is Occupying Wall Street

Financial analyst and commentar Mike Krieger wrote a great piece yesterday where he discussed the Occupy Wall Street protestors and what’s happening in Lower Manhattan. One of the comments I particularly liked was Mike’s use of Mahatma Gandhi’s great quote to describe how the protestors are being viewed by the powers that be.

“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” - Mahatma Gandhi

The protestors downtown have moved past the ignore stage as the media blackout has given way to the sheer weight of the story. The strategy has now shifted to discrediting/laughing at/making fun of the protestors. The problem with this phase for the media will be the extremely difficult way it’s going to be to pigeon hole this crowd. They don’t represent the left or the right. They don’t represent the Dems or Repubs, business owners or labor unions, capitalists or socialists, rich or poor, black or white. They represent all of us.

All of the above groups are present and participating in these rallies. The protestors aren’t necessarily anti-capitalist or anti-corporation per se. They are anti the current system. The system that they have no influence over and yet controls their lives. The system that has seen average real wages remain flat for decades while inflation slowly exacts its insidious costs. The system that pushes forward fake politicians with movie star smiles, populist rhetoric and polished speaking styles, whose sole mission once elected is to maintain the status quo for the wealthy individuals and corporations that got them elected. The system that prints out of thin air and borrows from third world China and elsewhere trillions of dollars to bail out the wealthy while sending the bill the average taxpayer. The system that will produce, for the first time in the history of the United States of America, a current generation of young citizens who will be worse off than their parents were before them.

That’s what I think the protestors are all about and I support it 100%. Occupy Wall Street is creating the next economic punctuated equilibrium moment and I say the sooner the better.
