But....but.....but....but I'm tired of this topic :(

Depends what do you mean fairing up the tax code? Are you with Obama asking the millionairs to pay their fair share? Or with the Republicans telling you how the top 5% pays 58% of the taxes in this country already? Either way the Tax code is broke, the IRS is corrupt and the entire system is dirty.

@TheJeffHimself: I like the idea of anarchy but given human nature it would cause the extinction of the human race in under a month

@joshmightbe: Yeah, humanity definitely isn't ready for it yet but I'm hopeful some day maybe we will be.

I don't mind that you have you views either, and you are certainly entitled to them. 
 
You blame those companies for getting the money. I blame the government for giving the money. People are free to rise to the top in our country (assuming you are from the US). I think there is a happy medium, though I think it is closer to the Capitalistic side. In some instances without any oversight the rich will put the poor in an inescapable situation. However, total socialism will never work either because eventually you will run out of everyone else’s money, and the system will fail. Both extremes are bad, but we favor a side.

Well, at the risk of getting hacked by a bunch of internet bullies, or at the very least ridiculed for “being blind” by some of the more Liberal/Socialist members of this site I'll state my beliefs. I’m a Conservative, a registered Republican (however, not a fan of everything they do, or the stupid Washington games they play), and a fan of Capitalism. I have a job I like, I like the stuff I buy, and want to buy more stuff like a new used vehicle, guns, new video games, a dog, and a house. I don’t much like the idea of Socialism because I feel people should be self-reliant and pay for their own wants and needs. I’m not against taxes, because we need money to run the Government, and maintain and improve our infrastructure. I work hard for my money, and I don’t mind the government taking some of it to keep the rule of law, and do its job. However, I don’t want my money that they take to be given to people who aren’t smart enough to plan for their future, or are too lazy to take care of themselves. I don’t think all welfare type systems should be completely abolished, but I am sick of seeing those systems abused on a daily basis. I don’t blame the people on welfare; I blame the government for giving them free money and making them dependent upon a Socialist system. I think it is better for people to donate and be charitable, than to have an overpowered government take your money just to give it to undeserving idiots. 

This latest Occupy Wall Street is happening because a lot of people are pissed at the banks for taking tax money to stay afloat, and not giving back. The 99% want the 1% to give them money. Believe me; I am pissed off too, but apparently not for the same reason. Most people are pissed they’re not giving the money back. I don’t blame the banks because they were given free money, just like I don’t blame the people on welfare. Why work for your money when the government gives it to you for nothing? I blame the government for giving the banks all that tax money in the first place! It was Socialism for the rich! I want Socialism for (just about) NO ONE! 
 
p.s. If you live in the U.S. and don't like Capitalism you can move! Hell, even Canada would be a step up the Socialist ladder if that's what you're into. You don't even have to leave the North American continent.
