Tommy Tanda, I ask you to tell us what other system would improve the lives of the people of our country? Would you prefer socialism, fascism or communism? All of these are proven failures. Perhaps you would prefer the way the Greeks live with retirement at age 50 and fewer and fewer people trying to support the many?

In our society everyone has a chance to make a contribution and to be rewarded. Our classes are very mobile with people moving from one class to the other, both up and down. If OWS protesters have a beef it should be some people and corporations that are gaining from a government that falsely picks the winners and losers. Even then we have a choice to vote them out of office.

The tone I hear from reading your remarks is from a depressed person with no hope, for which I am sorry. Don’t look to government to change your life because only you can do that.
