It is easy to write tax the rich, or to hate people that earn in the top 5% (financial elitists). It is far more difficult to work to create ideal social conditions. If some of the people that are putting up corporalist posts, elitist posts, soak the rich posts, and otherwise railing against anything that is not within their view of ideal, got off their buns and started up farmers markets to sell healthy produce and meats, or started a company that made products right here in the USA and which treated workers well, then I would not only respect them, I would kiss their boots if by chance I met them in person. But what I see are individuals that plead poverty when a request is made to give a paltry $20 to help feed hungry people, or who view all corporations as evil even as some of those corporations do more good in one month than some of the detractors will do in ten lifetimes.
