All I see is supposition on the part of the OP. Nothing to back up his Communist theory. Post your links to support your opinion or consider this a failed thread.

We have the most *equal* society on the planet. Everyone is equally able to go out, get a job and make something of themselves.

Nobody ever achieved anything great or even worthwhile by having it handed to them for nothing.

Hard work builds character. Something the precious snowflake OWS people have not yet, and possibly never will, figure out.

People like the OP just want complete and utter socialism, and until they can steal everyone else's wealth, they will keep going on about it.

The only way the OWS crowd is good for 'our' health is if they force US to eradicate them! Thus saving the gene pool from further contamination and reduceing the load on our air supply..........

Actually we don't have an equal society. The wealth gap is very large and getting even larger. The post was about the middle class getting smaller and the poor and wealthy class getting larger creating an even more unequal society.

I am not talking about money. I am talking about opportunity. Every person has an equal opportunity. Yes, I know that college is expensive, but there are ways to get scholarships, loans and even work your way through college, so don't tell me that "poor" people cannot get a good education, because I know they can.

So you want forced equality. It is so anti-American. Why do you hate freedom?

Equality is never given freely.

The OWS is a disorganized movement with no clear message and no unified front. Some "protestors" are homeless/drunk/drug addicts looking for shelter and meals, some are rich kids who don't need to look for a job, some are anarchists, some are criminals looking for easy pickings, and some are there to support their own specific gripe.

Nah, it's good for our health because all the sickos congregate together, where they can't infect the rest of us.
