Read What I See

There is no doubt the roots of discontent have settle in our nation and the economic situation has deteriorated substantially and will continue to do so as we near a breaking point but are protesters in the wrong place airing their discontent on the economic ailments of our nation?  Is Capitalism truly at fault or is it the result of abandoning true Capitalism?  Enclosed here is a video of Peter Schiff recently taking to the 99% in Wall Street while representing the 1%.  For those who do not know he is a businessman that predicted the housing bubble as early as 2005, the rally in gold and silver and more and you can watch with dismay how clearly he stated it in the below interviews.

You can also read here the opinion of another businessman who writes in favor of Capitalism. Why is it that Schiff could predict these conditions and our government and the Federal Reserve not?  The answer to the question is that they likely knew it was going to happen and as usual lied.

Those who govern from the shadows possess the ability to misdirect the masses in order to hide their agendas and misdeeds and unknowingly steer them in the direction they want them to go. Occupy Wall Street (OWS) should be Occupy the District of Columbia (ODC) because there is where the traitors are and oppressors hiding.   One can try to bribe politicians but if there are no takers then it cannot be done.  If we remove the carriers of corruption and oppression there will be none.  Protesters should be in front of the Federal Reserve, the Capitol and the White House.  If indeed Wall Street is oppressing the people is because our government allows it by selling out the people.  Forget about Republicans or Democrats, they are alike and equally at fault.  There are not two political parties, there is one disguised as two thus giving the people the illusion that they have a choice when in reality they don't.  Both political parties condoned criminal activities and the breaking the law as you can see in this video.

Capitalism is what made our nation prosperous and our citizens wealthy.  Corruption and abandoning those principles got us where we are.  That is the main reason why we no longer are prosperous and our citizens losing their wealth.  Communism failed because it consisted of the ruling elite and made everyone equal.  Those who had the desire to work harder and make sacrifices to prosper and live a more comfortable life were denied that opportunity so becoming the same as those who did not.  Not everyone is alike and a free society offers a place of their choosing for everyone. A truly free society also accommodates and helps the really needed where and oppressive society dispossess of them.

Life is like sport; among those who want to participate and play there are some who do not cut the mustard, some excel more than others, a few that perform extremely well are compensated accordingly, there is always a degree of luck and all players experience bias, judging errors, pain and injuries.  The bulk of the people are made up of enthusiasts who will settle for the enjoyment that watching others play bring them and appreciate the skills and effort of the players.  Then there are those who want their team to win and while making no efforts set in front of a TV with a can of beer in one hand and a bag of potato chips in the other yelling, screaming and condemning the effort of the players if the game does not go in their favor.

There are two basic characteristic in humans that foolishly at times thru history some have attempted to ignore but always fail in doing so, it is not displayed in all individuals but it is so in those who lead; men's desire to be free and independent and the drive to excel. The notion that life is fair is only a myth and a wish; it is people working together than can close that gap. Wealth can only be successfully distributed to the extent in which those who posses it are willing to do so, otherwise all wealth disappears and there is none to be shared. The true ailment of our nation is deceit and corruption from those who we chose to govern us and not the true Capitalism that has been abandoned.
