I get so sick of people bitching about the wealthy all the time.

I have respect for that. Why don't you?

If thats directed at me. I do. But what 1% of the 1% do does not exonerate the 1%.
Unfortunately there is so much wrong with our society that the reform we need needs to come from everyone. Not just the oppressed.
There's a lot in the middle and on the top who aren't going to suffer right off the bat. But they will suffer when the system starts falling apart.
George Washington a fine example of a good wealthy person. Howerd Hughes another fine example. Larry Lessig another outstanding example. Yossie Hollander a fine example.
The list goes on of wealthy or just simply well off people doing the right thing. But they are not enough alone to help turn America around. Then you have people like the NSA Chief. Rupert Murdoch. Those at the G80 summit. Oil executives. Probably a million middle men working int he loan industry that KNEW better.
The list is long on both sides. Unfortunately the corrupt wealthy way outway the number of good wealthy. Making us proles extremely angry.
So fuck Oceania. They don't care about us enough to shake up their little club.
