The problem is, they don't want to fix the problems we the People have.

They want to fix "problems" the 1% have:



    paying taxes

    seeing their spoiled-rotten heirs displaced from the corner office by urban geniuses that got free education at fine public schools and state-supported colleges

    having unions, grassroots-based political movements, and other populist revolutions

    workers able to save and retire


etc., all of which boil down to one basic thing: somebody else is getting something instead of me!

There's no fix for greed, no cure for that kind of hoarding. The French tried this:

?w=670

and it worked to a certain extent, but the fix wasn't permanent.
