"I don't mind that you are rich; I mind that you are buying my government"

as seen on an occupy wall street sign, a year ago. That really speaks to me. I'm fine with business people running their businesses, but don't try to run government. Policy isn't your business. Occupy did a great deal by waking up the 99% to what was going on. They can take some credit for Obama's win. I hoped, when I saw that sign, that the sentiment would go viral. And it did. See, good things do happen.
