Don't be fooled: its not rich versus poor (1% versus 99%). Both want
the same thing.

The underlying problem is the politicians. For example, many find it
morally objectionable that a public official would take a bride. in
fact, its illegal - except when its called a PAC contribution.

The politicians take millions of dollars in PAC contributions (and are
allowed to personally keep what is not spent during campaigning), and
then provide political influence and protection for the folks who
bribed them. For example, there have been no criminal prosecutions
against those in the US financial sector who caused or aggravated the
current recession. Their economic terrorism was tolerated because they
are major campaign contributors, despite the fact they they broke US
laws.

The problem is not democrats, republicans, conservatives, liberals,
rich, or poor. Only a small fraction of the 1% was responsible for the
additional burdens the 99% must bear. The problem is the politicians,
their addictive greed, their lack of accountability, their utter
disregard for the country, and their contempt for the citizens.
