Occupy Wall Street is a leaderless resistance movement with people of many colors, genders and political persuasions. The one thing we all have in common is that We Are The 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%. We are using the revolutionary Arab Spring tactic to achieve our ends and encourage the use of nonviolence to maximize the safety of all participants.

If I don't stab or shoot you directly, but I use my grotesque wealth to lobby for poverty and horrific conditions that statistically will make masses of people suicidally depressed and kill themselves and/or others, that's not recognized as a crime under our 18th century political and legal systems.
Our system needs to evolve in order to criminalize the de facto crimes of oligarchy, kleptocracy, and social murder.
Claiming possession of over 100 million dollars in property rights should be defined as the strict liability crime of oligarchy and/or social murder.
"Thus did a handful of rapacious citizens come to control all that was worth controlling in America. Thus was the savage and stupid and entirely inappropriate and unnecessary and humorless American class system created. Honest, industrious, peaceful citizens were classed as bloodsuckers, if they asked to be paid a living wage. And they saw that praise was reserved henceforth for those who devised means of getting paid enormously for committing crimes against which no laws had been passed. Thus the American dream turned belly up, turned green, bobbed to the scummy surface of cupidity unlimited, filled with gas, went bang in the noonday sun." -Kurt Vonnegut, God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater
