In response to http://yfrog.com/nv4aogp
I understand that you've worked very hard for a good life. You've jumped through the hoops that they've put in place, and have avoided making the bad decisions that they have created for people to fall into holes along the way. I don't know about you, but I don't want to play the game of avoiding pitfalls any longer. They wait for you to mess up, and purposefully give temptations to people to spend their money unwisely. As I said before, they try to play with us. I don't want to go through life walking among a room of fishhooks, seeing my friends get caught by their bait until I can reach the end knowing I have fallen for no tricks.
Instead what we are doing is trying to create a new world without as many risks and dangers that have been put in front of us. In our modern age, humans have the need to create an environment that our minds originally developed in. With our technologies, we don't need to create such a hostile environment to people any more.
We have the responsibility to change the system and re-establish our rights. The 99% are more than just about getting bailed out. It's about how the banks have limited free speech and spread a cacophony of lies about how they operate. We are not all asking that we get bailed out, but we are asking for the reinstatement of our freedoms. The monitoring of dissident groups in America is fundamentally un-American, and has been done for the past 60 years more and more. For me this is a freedom and rights issue, not a money issue. The money issues are the symptom of a root cause.
The question is not whether you have worked for what you have, but if you have the right to think and be a certain way in society, if we as a whole are able to participate in whatever we see fit. Right now that is not the case. Furthermore, an attack on a worker anywhere in America is an attack on you, as you may be the next worker laid off or have their hours cut and your whole carefully laid out plan would fall apart. Whether you like it or not, you are part of the 99% of people we are fighting for. Whether you deny your economic status or not does not change where you are up on the ladder, whatever your decision is to be part of the 99% out there on the streets.
I want to state again that this is not a legal issue, this is a political issue when we deal with banks. And the reason that this is a political issue is because the banks have infiltrated our government enough to have police come down on protesters that are for the people, and have the news crew say that the occupy movement does not have a clear message when we've been making it clear all along: get corporate money out of politics.
Being in the 1% does not involve considering yourself debt free or free, it's an issue of economic status and power. With the information that you have given, I would not say you have much say in how you live your life, or have the power of a billionaire. Neither do I. Therefore we are not in the 1%, and we do not have that decision. No matter how much we take into our own hands, the chance of responsibility equaling being in the 1% is very low. In fact, most in the 1% have taken exorbitant risks and terrible mistakes that allowed them to be there. If you're in the 1% life's a gambling game that's rigged in favor of you. Not everyone else.
