[QUOTE="804brown, post: 895145, member: 29553"] It was those who "understand the basics of our economy" that drove it in the ditch in the first place. The thing that pisses people off is that they knew that their gambles would be covered by government. So tell me was it really an entrepreneurial risk if they knew they would be bailed out?? Who is saying they want a society of poor people?? Certainly no one of OWS!! They agree with the 70% of americans who also believe that the wealth should be better distributed (latest NYT/CBS poll). I guess there is lots of incentive to "work" (gamble on currencies and securitized mortgages) when you know the outcome!! Corporations are also allowed to exist by the power of the state. And if that state decides that the corporation no longer benefits the interests of its citizens, that state has a right to terminate that corporation. Remember corporations were created to serve society, not the other way around!! [/QUOTE]
