"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." ...George Orwell
I think the sign portraying 1% rich and 99% poor is an exaggeration. Most people in the USA are not living in poverty. They are neither poor nor rich. However, I do think the disparity between the poor and the rich in the USA is too extreme. The only way to control that in a capitalistic society is through government intervention. Every capitalistic philosopher I've read believe that capitalism to work must have government controls.
"House GOP Leader Eric Cantor decried the protests that started several weeks ago in New York, and have spread to major cities across the country. Cantor said in a speech at the Values Voters Summit in Washington that he is 'increasingly concerned' about the 'growing mobs' represented at the protests."
I'm glad to hear that Eric Cantor and others in the 1% are worried. That only shows that protests are not totally for nothing.
Bachelors should be heavily taxed. It is not fair that
some men should be happier than others. ...Oscar Wilde
