America was not built on those looking for others to pay their way, it was built on the "American dream" of earning it yourself. America was built on freedom, liberty, ... and they do not want something "universal" even if its to their detriment.
Those protesting on Wall Street are not the 99%, hell they probably aren't even the 50%.

But here is how you get there. That system does not apply to all. If it were, there are a few banks that would have had a spectacular fall in 2008, and no one would be able to buy GM made crap.
Too big to fail would have been "spectacular crash".
I'm not saying I am with these people. I guess I am saying I understand why they are there.
And I totally get the stat that over 50% have paid no tax-and the aggravation that causes.
I guess I understand why they are there because the system is so screwed, people don't know what to do anymore.
