Only 1% of the 99% are waging the battle
|
Posted By: Rudolph Hickman on November 27, 2011 As 99% of the American population struggles with the lopsided economic conditions visited upon it by the mis- and malfeasance of our federal, state and local governments, only 1% of that number seems to be waging the battle that seeks to remedy these inequities. Whether one agrees with the basic philosophy of the movement - to seek some semblance of balance in the American economy - or not, no one can argue that this movement seeks to adorn its participants with the untold riches that seems to have found its way to those who are suppossed to represent us - the 99%. Nor can anyone argue, legitimately, that the movement is a power grab that would entitle its victors to then sell their influence in the public square. So why is it that a movement seeking to benefit the larger majority of the population not more fully supported by those who would benefit from its success? One of the more obvious reasons is apathy. more at: http://www.examiner.com/political-buzz-in-...
