A couple of young well dressed stock broker one per cent types were on TV being interviewed next to the Occupy Wall Street protest in New York. Their attitude about the Occupiers could not have been more disdainful; "get a job, stop complaining, clean up and work within the system to become successful", that sort of thing.
Of course, its not really one per cent versus ninetly nine per cent. A lot of people who are not in the one per cent are doing personally very well within the corporate system, and well fed servants tend less to complain.
And complaining is exactly what the mobs are doing, and the worst off are most likely to complain.
Chances are, most of the protesters already have jobs, or have before, and will again soon.
What the disdainful fail to realize is that even if everyone got a job and quit complaining, the situation would still be the same, our society would still be enslaved by the same evils and ills, but nobody would be complaining about it. And no matter who you are, you understand that our society needs improving. Its only a matter of who to blame, and what changesto make.
