The mere fact that I'm not an OWSer probably makes me smarter than one of them.

Brilliance encapsulated. Don't quit your day job.

What about the 14% who think the capital gains tax should be 0%?

Good comment,


And for the record, it is a privilege to be able to articulate in proper lingo ones oppression. I don't think that slaves in this country's early history would have known or even would have given two bits about the economic reasons behind their indentured servitude-but they SURE AS HELL KNEW IT WAS WRONG AND UNJUST. Or perhaps the indigenous peoples that were slaughtered when america was "founded" should have known or been aware that the colonizers were simply forging a new life in order to escape the tyranny in england--uhmm probably not. Perhaps they should have known about the various repressive acts of parliament that led up to the colonizers justifying their atrocious acts on north american indigenous peoples. Yes, this would have made everything better.

Not all know all the politics and statistics. Many have no clue.
Some do, and are proposing solutions based on what they have been taught. (in government schools)
And we know the Constitution is no longer taught in schools (as a rule)

If I were to have asked you what percent of OWS protesters want the capital gains tax to be 0%, before opening the article, what would you have said?
