Why the Occupy Movement takes no positions on issues....

There is a neighborhood just outside the wealthy Belle Meade area called West Meade. New owners in this neighborhood have been using a practice called "tear downs" where they destroyed the old 50's and 60's ranch style homes and built new McMansions. You can't build new until you tear down the old. This applies to the corrupt "Corporations are people" and "Money is speech" repression by the 1% Elite who were born on 3rd base and think they hit a triple.

The problem is not human nature, but rather the nature of some humans.  There has been an active successful redistribution of wealth in this society over the past 3-4 decades, just not in the direction everyone is always blathering onward about.  And it has been a direct result of governmental institutionalized policies.  Furthermore, no, no all of us would behave in that manner.  THEY are the entitled ones and they see themselves as different, deserving of all they can take.

This struggle is nothing new in this society; it has been turned back before.  But it will never disappear entirely.  This society is STILL yet a colonial enterprise of wealth extraction.  But now, they can amass wealth without providing jobs.  They don't need the work force that the industrial revolution period required.

The jobs are not coming back, we're on new terrain.

Did see the movie. Looked like fascist screed to me. The last frames of the faceless mob marching into the future gave me the creeps. JMHO.
