[CE] Wall Street Protests

Protests are breaking out all over major cities in the United States demanding some kind of economic reform. However, they have no solid demand and they are just shooting blind shots of demands. The protests share the same name but they share no core; no unity nor teamwork. They blindly demand reform but they themselves do not how to reform. How ironic.

The economy is just a system of theories driven by the exchange of money between limitless transactions. It is surprising how something that just deals with numbers and scraps of paper can become so complex and valuable. What happened to the relaxing days where money was not a monstrous issue? 99% of the population demand economic reform and are tired of being controlled by the top 1%. Although reforms are necessary, there are reasons why the top 1% are the top 1%. How do you think they got there in the first place? I believe the secret is to find loopholes in the system which we call the economy. It has been brought to my attention that most people are suffering due to taxes, and the top 1% benefit from their tax rates. However, they gain more revenue in proportion to “normal” people because they own other sources of income. They go around the huge tax percentages by making most of their money off something else. In a system as complex as economy, there are bound to be loopholes.
