Anyone seen a mission statment from these protesters?

Venting frustration. Understandable, but totally ineffective.
Here's why, IMO:

They are protesting the wrong people and groups. Think about it.
Your CPA or tax return preparer will advise you to take every legal
deduction available to you on your individual tax returns.
Those legal deductions (and legal loopholes) are legislated and determined
by ...... guess who?

Business tax returns and rules governing Wall Street operations are also
subject to legal deductions and loopholes,
legislated and determined by ...... guess who?

The protesters are targeting the wrong groups. The group that should be
protested and voted out of office are the career
politicians in DC who determine and write the rules that individuals, banks,
businesses and Wall Street are subject to.
These corrupt politicians .... on both sides of the political spectrum ....
have established too many IOU's over their "careers"
and have muddied the waters with BS to cast the blame on everyone else other
than themselves.

And we are stupid enough to believe them and continue to re-elect them.

Just maybe this uprising will help push the idea of campaign finance
and lobbying reform forward. We have a bought congress and they serve
at the beck and call of their supporters.

Wall Street is one of the main players at the table, along with a
number of the largest corporate players. Time for Washington DC to
return to doing the people's business instead of whoring for financial
services who want to bend the rules to suit their bottom line.
