This guy went to OWS with a camera crew and a sign that said " I am the 1%, lets talk"



From the article:

Quote:
Indeed, there were plenty of heated discussions. I did little more than ask how much of my earnings I should be allowed to keep.


This is good question, but before answering it we need to look into HOW you got your earnings.

What do we want to reward as society? We want creators - engineers, scientists, artists, doctors, and business creators. Someone with net benefit for society, working for the common good in one or another way is what should be rewarded.

Instead, 1% are mostly bankers, market speculators and CEOs with golden parachutes, and generational rich with inheritances. Is that what we want to reward as society? Gambling with other people's money and old money?

How much you got to keep should depend on how you got it. Sometimes it should be none of it, sometimes all of it.
