    This should be fun.

    The Grievances:

    1: campaign Finance reform.

    Take this to congress and have them write a bill that doesnt violate the constitution. The SC believes that institutions should be allowed the right to have their voices hear as well as the people.

    2. True Shared Sacrifice.

    This one was laughable. "Taxes on those that practice greed should be raised" HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. I guess whoever wrote this is a bit jealous of people that make more money than him/her. I do agree with SHARED sacrifice though. I believe a 20% flat tax on ALL forms of income should be about right, at least until we can get the fair tax. So now you pay 20% of your income in fedral taxes whether you make 20k or 20 mil. Roughly speaking, the top 1% of income earners ear about 19% of income and pay about 39% of income taxes. So I wonder who ISNT paying their fair share.

    BTW, can someone define greed?

    3. Equality of Justice

    Show me a case where people dont get equal treatment when considering the same quality of lawyer. Successful people can afford better things, this includes the services of a better lawyer.

    4. End the Revolving Door
    A fine goal, and one I agree with. The idiots portesting Wall St. are in the wrong city though. Shouldnt they be try going to DC with this instead of making traffic even worse for NYers?

    Another list of demands from these idiots.

    Nothing to see here people. Just a bunch of whiners with nothing better to do.
