Three inconvenient truths for Occupy Wall Street

[wvwaterrat]

"The role that human and social capital plays in helping a person generate income in an advanced economy has increased over the last half a century. And over that same time, the primary institution for inculcating human and social capital has badly weakened."

Trashing the Opposition

I think it's interesting to compare the two salient movements representing of left and right, OWS and the Tea Party respectively, in how they conduct themselves when gathered.

OWS cost their hosts mucho big bucks to police and cleanup after. Whereas the Tea Party has policed itself and paid for its own sanitation.

Assignment of responsibility for the bombing and murders of 28 June is highly controversial because the attack led to the outbreak of World War 1 one month later.

The apparent income gap grows between OWS's 99% and the 1% as the CBO presents yet another apples to oranges report.


<snip>
A recent report from the Congressional Budget Office (CB0) says, "The share of income received by the top 1% grew from about 8% in 1979 to over 17% in 2007."
This news caused quite a stir, feeding the left's obsession with inequality. Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson, for example, said this "jaw-dropping report" shows "why the Occupy Wall Street protests have struck such a nerve." The New York Times opined that the study is "likely to have a major impact on the debate in Congress over the fairness of federal tax and spending policies."
But here's a question: Why did the report stop at 2007? The CBO didn't say, although its report briefly acknowledged?in a footnote?that "high income taxpayers had especially large declines in adjusted gross income between 2007 and 2009."<snip>

and that's not all . . .
