Occupy Wall Street's Values Will Destroy the Middle Class

Without capitalism, including even the hampered capitalism we have known, there would be no middle class. Blaming the problems of the middle class on capitalism is like blaming disease on oxygen. "Why, if we couldn't breathe, there would be no possibility of catching disease."

Yes, that's true. If we weren't alive we wouldn't have to worry about dying. But this is the attitude of someone who's suicidal. Let’s hope that America is not that far gone.

There is hope for the middle class, but it's the opposite of what these protestors claim. The middle class should want thriving, profit-making businesses. The only alternative is the stagnation and despair of socialism. Poverty for all? That’s equal, all right. If these protestors want poverty, they’re entitled to it, but they have no right to impose it on the rest of us.
