“Common theme Oligarchs, fat cats and the uber rich. it is not that they are evil it is just they have left no room for us, the vast majority. We have little hope and little mobility and prospects for success no mobility and the middle class (face it) is screwed. Yes you say you know and you grumble. Wake up they don’t just grumble they march and gather and sing and share. The 20 year old and the 45 year old, the Lenin slogans and the Green Day lyrics. Our kids work harder and harder and we work longer and longer and for what–more anxiety, more stress and less hope? Someone is gaining? Lets not envy them but change the playing field. At what cost and in what parity can this happen????”

What exactly have the fat cats done to you to leave no room and to take your hope?
Part of being a Wurzweiler Graduate for me was understanding all sides of the argument, and understanding all people.
So what have they done right to be so rich? And are the 99% glad they did not do the same? Would you have taken the 1%’s path, had you been in thier shoes or had thier opportunity? I do not think the 1% are miserly men who sit alone in rooms smoking cigars and drinking cognac until they fall asleep, clutching Benjamins in thier tight fists.
What would be your opinion on this if you had invented a business called Netflix, or opened a very sucessfull sushi restaurant, or became a programmer and worked for Microsoft and was now very lucky and wealthy? Or even just flukely bought Apple stock in the early 90′s?
I am just not clear how the fat cats are any different from prior rich generations, nor am I clear what people expect – that waking up for work every day is going to be bright and sunny? Work is hard. We grumble. We try. And maybe, maybe, from the sweat and tears and studying and answering to our Bosses, some of us suceed.
But is that so wrong?
