Please; don't make me laugh. This gentleman doesn't understand money if he thinks that only gold and silver are money. Just another half-a$$ed idiot, like all of the other protest-monkeys there.

Many of these "useful idiots" have grabbed on to a particular symptom of the disease, but they're simply too blinded by their own false ideology - an old 1960s style socialism that should embarrass anyone with a shred of intellectual honesty - to even try to trace down the causes of the symptoms they've spotted.

That the Fed is merrily helping to destroy the economy is true - he manages to identify the symptom. But the cause? The reason? Liberal/leftist ideology - politically-driven Keynsianism - is what is driving the Fed's destruction of the economy. It is the crony-capitalism - the Barack Obamas and the Solyndras - that are destroying the economy.

The one group of people who are not destroying the economy are the so-called "Rich" - less those whose path to riches was through the swamp of cronyism, see Solyndra and Barack Obama - in fact, it is the "Rich" who carry the burden of paying for all the bennies these protest-monkeys either have now, or are demanding that they have.

A doctor who can identify the cause, but not only cannot identify the cause but in fact identifies something else entirely as the cause, is not only incompetent, not only half-a$$ed, he is downright dangerous.

This "gentleman" is dangerous because he is half-a$$ed. Just like this guy:

OccupyWallStreet - Intellectual Incoherence

Who couldn't even be bothered to do a little research, like spending 5 minutes checking up on the IRS' own Statistics of Income, which would have clearly shown that those earning $500k or more a year (just under 1% of the total individual income tax returns filed) earned 18% of total taxable income, but paid more than 27% of the total amount of income tax paid.

In fact, to say this guy is half-a$$ed is to give him a very large helping of benefit of the doubt. That is a benefit, furthermore, that the organizers of this astroturf affair do not deserve, period.
