There is no proposal from the 'occupants'…that would limit accumulated wealth.

I could probably find evidence to dispute this, but, it would be moot.

My point was clear, I think: 'the 'occupants' will not 'win' 'cause the rich 'won' a long, long, time ago.'

There will be no sweeping cultural reforms, no trials of the 'criminal rich', no redistribution of significant wealth.

Things are what they are and will remain exactly as they are 'till those in power (not the governments) decide otherwise.

Your options: divorce yourself as much as possible from the greater workings of things (self-reliance) up to and including taking a one-way *hike into 'the desert', or, settle in for the ride with someone else in your driver's seat.

"The sad part is the wealthy-wanabees who don't realize they too are in 99%."

If directed at me: I have no interest in being rich...too much work, too much baggage...I prefer what I have: solitary, anonymous, minimalistic, autonomy...I own little and am owned by little.

Your mistake, Lamp: assuming I admire the rich...I don't admire them or find them distasteful...they simply 'are' (and they're not going anywhere).

"There's always a faster gun"

Sure: but, faster is not always more accurate.





*even being prepared to do so sets you apart from the greater workings of things.
