The whole system is fucked. You need money to win an election and when you do, you are obligated to scratch the backs of the people who helped put you there. CEO's are not all corrupt. Some are, I'm sure, genuinely good people. The issue is that the "99%" is stuck doing all the heavy lifting while the elite make money off of them.
I support the Occupy Protesters, provided they are not being complete idiots. A true protester has a plan of action, as well as the support of the people they represent; if they lose it, they become a disturbance. One fundamental right of a democracy is to be allowed to congregate in opposition of injustice. When we begin to trim this right "we the people" have nothing left, subjugated to part of the proletariate.
I am not an economist, and will not pretend to have the answers but something must change. Thousands of hard working people are being left in the dust for the advantage of few.
