I just hope they don't blame the 99% for their unemployment.
@ Bold

But what are they trying to accomplish again? I get what they are feeling, just still not sure what they actually want to see happen.

- Ok, lets say we tax the "rich" at an extra 5 or 10 percent, that money would most likely just go to fill in the billions in dollars deficits that the U.S. Gov has every fiscal year. I don't see tuition going down, medical costs going down, jobs springing up and the economy recovering just because a family making 300k a year pays an additional 1k in taxes.
