Darren's and indeed many other people's lame excuse is that they're too

If anything, most people are greedier than that 1%. The only difference is
that people are bad at it, unlike that 1%.

Just consider the fact that Average Joe would be just too happy to evade
tax.
Richer Joe, instead, might be doing the same with his $1bn business.
In both cases, they're breaking the law.

The "occupy wallstreet" movement is simply hypocrisy.

Did I happen to mention that I'm far from rich? In the coming years, I'll
be struggling to get my own drop of land.
The only unfair part I see is people complaining while buying iPads and
iCrap over Facebook, Twitter etc..

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'.

I hate to contribute to an off-topic thread but you've successfully
trolled me here: Congress has done FAR more harm to the US than
terrorists
over the last 10 years by just about every measure.
