While the OWS (Occupy Wall Street) rioters chant and sway for the demise of capitalism and the insertion of socialism into the United States, many of those that faction voted for are living high and rich. Based on information gleaned by Greeley Report last Spring (and now revealed by insider Jack Abramoff), Nancy Pelosi, John Boehner and others in Congress have profited handsomely from insider trading and knowledge gleaned from their positions within Congress. Of course Pelosi's office has denied the charges (while her net worth continues to soar).
So is the OWS crowd protesting in the right city? If they want to insert socialism in place of capitalism, they need to protest in Washington, D.C., don't they? After all, Wall Street does not ultimately make the rules. It is their cozy relationship with people in government that is the problem. But the OWS crowd likes the liberals currently in power in D.C., even though they are as corrupt (or more) as many of the entrenched Republicans there. It's all a matter of agenda. OWS wants liberals in power because they like socialism (as long as it protects their insider trading status). The protests will continue and perhaps increase. So will Pelosi's net worth.
That is a priceless link BobbyJ! Legal insider trading and the look on Pelosi's plastic face was priceless.

That's a story worth watching. We are to blame. We elect them every two years, and if we don't care, they won't change. I think maybe I'll run for congress, however.
