Occupy the Slippery Slope

"You know what?  Maybe it's not just the top 1% who's the problem.  That second percent is pretty rich and therefore responsible for my lot in life, too."  It's not unlikely that the #Occupy movement will take that turn and this is what it looks like...

1% becomes 2%.
2% becomes 4%.
4% becomes 10%.
10% becomes 25%.
25% becomes 49%.

Nearly half of all Americans would be screwed by them trying to "make things fair."

Then, if they get what they want (read their literature), we'll have full scale communism which screws almost everyone all the time.

So here is my modest call to action.  Go to the places where they are organizing and counter organize.  Help them see that they are their own problem and nobody else is responsible for the choices they make but them.  Be relentless with your reason and maybe we can avert the storm they are gathering.
