A picture is worth a thousand words (or less)

So, since OWS is leaderless, some groups will invariably do things others do not....

like making demands. Demands are good, I think, for a movement. It's a target. And the target provides direction.

So, what direction do some OWS groups go in?
What are their demands?

If by closing loopholes, you mean reducing the tax code to a handful of pages I can read and fully comprehend in ten minutes, leaving little or no room for hidden back-door escape clauses, then yes, I want tax loopholes closed. That way, and no other way.

That's the minimum. I'd prefer shifting the tax code in favor of spending rather than earning and eliminate the IRS entirely, but I'll settle for the former in lieu of that.

If a straightforward, comprehensible tax code were implemented, many accountants, lawyers and bureaucrats would lose their jobs.

I'm an accountant. What do you mean by "these people"?

[jerseycajun]

I'm willing to make that sacrifice ;)

More to the point, congresspeople don't get donations from special interests lobbying to remove tax loop holes, it's kind of the opposite. Since money = re-election, this is a problem.

And you have a problem with this why?

[jerseycajun]

He doesn't. That's why it's funny.

a handful of pages I can read

Oh no! You're voting Herman Cain!

[mahnmut]

It's the Asians turn to have a US prez now! Rotation!

[jerseycajun]

No.

I've been saying this long enough, Cain's the one hopping on my bandwagon. It's just when he says it, it sounds more like a soundbite than sincerity.

He ripped off your 9-9-9 plan too?
