I wasn't trying to bait - I meant what I said with honest bemusement. No response from you was expected.

"Goram it kid, let's frak this thing and go home! Engage!"

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

"Adbusters is Canadian, and first suggested the idea of an Occupy Wall Street protest."

I don't have the time to recount to you the two successful local movements I have been lucky to be a part of (one of which I'm proud to say I directly triggered), which, once sparked, just grew organically. Or the one I've been lucky to witness second hand. (I am directly in contact with the principals of the Cochabamba Water Wars.) Suffice to say that in my observation, all it sometimes takes is a person saying - 'but he has no clothes on.' And the communal mindset shifts.

OWS hasn't accomplished anything yet. And it may never. You have to realize the forces for the 1% are organized and powerful and directed and intentional. The 99% ers are fumbling their way forward, trying to find something beyond the inchoate desire to have their (my) existence be acknowledged in our society.

And this may be another Syria. Where blood and lives will be required.

That said - this truly is organic. There is simply no organization, media outlet, source of money, or political party which could cause so many people to agree so well on one thing.

EVERY SINGLE YEAR BETWEEN 1996 AND 2005 66% OF ALL FCDS CORPORATIONS PAID NO TAXES.
I think the current tax structure is about right for corporations. - Geezer

Without the benefit of the surrounding society, a corporation dies. If society looks at a corporation and says 'work, or die', what work should be demanded of the corporation for it to earn its survival?

While Wall St. is going through the roof, Main St. is paying all the bills.

Remember when teachers, public employees, Planned Parenthood, NPR and PBS crashed the stock market, wiped out half of our 401Ks, took trillions in taxpayer funded bailouts, spilled oil in the Gulf of Mexico, gave themselves billions in bonuses, and paid no taxes?

Yeah, me neither....
