Occupy Wallstreet is mainstream

Do even most self-described Tea Partiers, and self-proclaimed Republicans support the general idea that Wall Street is to blame for our financial woes, that many of the millionaires on Wall Street and elsewhere in our society have been given a free pass for too long on taxes as a percentage of their income, and that millionaires and billionaires should be asked to pay the same percentages of taxes as everyone else? Do these millionaires also believe they should pay more?

The answer to all of that above appears to be "yes". This is the popular uprising from the disenfranchised, under attack, the real victims of class warfare, the middle-class - taking back their fair share of the American dream and of their piece of the financial pie.

Will it help Democrats and hurt Republicans if the current entrenched positions of GOP leaders in Congress persist? I think it will and I think these insurgent GOP lawmakers, whose only goal seems to gain power, even at the expense of the country, know it will hurt them if they don't moderate their positions and help create jobs and fix this economy now. Not later, now.
