Comment on Lemony Snicket's Occupy Wall Street Observationsparent

Comments

I find it fascinating that every time a group of people does X, someone else is sure to come up with a wildly tangential topic Y and blame those X people for not supporting or somehow messing up Y even though it's certainly the case that most of the X people probably had nothing to do with Y and don't have any particular position (any different than the average person on the street). How dare you oppose animal cruelty when children in the world are starving! Good grief. Nobody's attacking successful people because they're successful. They're attacking the lawmakers and their corporate cronies that have engineered the tax laws to the extreme benefit of the filthy rich AND showered them with generous bailouts and bonuses as a reward for devastating the economy all while hollowing out the social safety net. That's the issue.
