While there is a strong emotional appeal to Occupy Wall Street protests they are not realistic. Granted there are some despicable people who would take everything not nailed down and give nothing back in return but hopefully the Democrats will be out of office soon. As communists and socialists have found to their dismay, you can’t change human nature and much to their horror capitalism works because it embraces human nature. People work harder if they see a reward and are free to pursue their goals. Yes, you do need some rules to the game to avoid abuse, but government works best when it either helps or gets out of the way of business. I am not wealthy but I am thankful everyday that the people I work for are smart enough, have enough resources, and aggressive enough to create my job. You can’t drive an economy by trying to average things out to the lowest common denominator. The railroad doesn’t run without engines pulling the cars.

Well said!
