I don't have a problem with wealthy families. I have a problem with how the government allows them to get away with shit. I have a problem with corruption. If you have that much money rather then funnel it away into bogus tax sheltering charities, allow it to be taxed and help offset some of our surmounting debit or provide tax relief for the 99% that are not quite so fortunate.

Watching the entire documentary you see that his father was once a proud photographer/filmmaker who wanted to do work with exposing poverty on the planet (my memory may not be serving me because I saw this a long time ago). He was actually quite radical and wanted to make a difference. When one of the corporations he was exposing was his own families corporation he was slammed down... HARD. I see a man who is living in fear... shame... someone whose spirit was beaten. His entire attitude in my humble opinion showed deep anguish... Yes, as an adult he has choices... but it almost seemed as though he reacted with a kind of post traumatic reaction to events.
That was my only point.... Quote:

Since I live in Las Vegas, I can totally understand where this guy is coming from, on "ringers", "muscle" and the Three Card Monty game. He's right on the mark with what will probably become of the OWS movement.

Hmm... I have police on my Facebook account. Most of them seem to have bought into the lie that OWS is about a sense of entitlement and wanting something for nothing.
