I saw this on FB and thought I would pass it along:

It's the exif data from the photos the 99%'ers are posting - showing the $1000 systems, cameras, and software they are 
using to post.

Regarding who's doing the most damage to US economy, I'll just say I won't comment.

I take issue with the 1%/99% idea; ie, the excuse that some people deserve more just because they are allowed to lie - 
even if it makes them hypocrites.

Its not about greed - pursuit of wealth is fine. You just can't harm
others while doing it. (Well, apparently you can in the US).

One of the funniest things I ever read regarding Bin Laden's little
war was a boycott of the US dollar to reduce reliance [on the dollar]
and to harm the US economy [1].

Thought experiment: terrorist wanted to ruin the US economy. US
Financial institutions threw the US (and world) economy into a
recession (again). The US financial institutions responsible must be
terrorist organizations.

Thank {insert higher being here} that Bin Laden did not make a PAC
contribution on 9/10.

The problem is not getting lots of money. That is the easy part. The
issue
is with living with yourself afterward.
How about illegal? Check out the Hobbs Act [1]. I'm not making this
crap up - the US has laws on the books for negatively affecting
commerce (which the crash did), and using fear to peddle their warez
(how financial institutions market their instruments). There's
probably provisions in the PATRIOT Act, too.

The last tine I checked (about a year ago), the SEC had opened fewer
than 100 civil investigations. No criminal investigations, despite the
fact that some of the financial institutions created spurious ratings
companies just to rate their instruments 'good'.
