Occupy Underground

>> Bring em to our side
Always good to hear a voice of reason.

The numbers really never added up for me. In the most round of numbers, the country has about 25% each of the solid Left and the solid Right and another 50% that only leans to and fro from the center. I am puzzled as to how the 25% hard Right is included in the 99%. But let's not worry now about numbers.

Have you ever considered that the definition of the 1% as the problem could be misleading us? After all, the repugnant laws that enable the 1% to crap on us is the work of Congress. What if the real division is the Congress vs. the 100%, with the 1% as the group with the fewest gripes about the system. Look at it this way: the nation has enormous wealth and huge revenue to spend to provide for the commonwealth. Yet that money seems to get spent however Congress figures will give them the greatest gain in re-election funds, tenure in office and personal wealth. Congress is a club with no end. One club; two sides of the aisle. It's Congress that benefits from the diversion of our chasing after the 1% instead of examining the unofficial capital market at the core of the political system (legislation bartered for campaign funding, etc.). If we hate capitalism so much, why not focus on that bit of capitalism that is killing us, and challenge Congress on the private ownership of the nation's wealth. Occupy the Treasury and give ownership rights of its surpluses to the individual taxpayers. Force Congress into the intended role of managers, not owners, of the nation's wealth.
Could ideological hatred of the 1% be the blinders Congress has strapped on us while it is busy in the back room getting felt up by the deep pockets?
