On: Occupy Wall Street activists buy $15m of Americans...

On questions like this I find it easier to not think about 2013 but to think about 1913 and 2113.

Compared to 1913 this situation is fantastic. All you have but you get to live.

Compared to what we should aspire to for 2113, I agree that it is barbaric.

That's extremely non productive, as you're basically saying it's good enough, and it's going to get better.

For 2013, in every single developed country bar one the situation would be called barbaric.

That is not good enough.
