Warren Buffet and Occupy Wall Streeters: 2 peas in a pod

The econ­omy stinks and we’re not going to take it any longer. While this may not be the offi­cial mes­sage of Occupy Wall Street (OWS) par­tic­i­pants, it seems to come pretty close to under­stand­ing why the move­ment was born, blos­somed and now searches for a uni­fy­ing mes­sage to pol­i­cy­mak­ers. Had the U.S. econ­omy expe­ri­enced any­thing like a nor­mal recov­ery from the Great Reces­sion, it seems unlikely the move­ment would have devel­oped. But with an unem­ploy­ment rate in excess of 9 per­cent and nearly 14 mil­lion peo­ple unem­ployed — and many more mil­lions under­em­ployed — it is lit­tle won­der that some peo­ple have taken to the streets to protest.
