I guess I just prefer to try to fix some of the things that are helping to cause the problem as opposed to waiting around for a revolution that ultimately may not change much of anything.

We can fix the education system in this country. We can work on creating regulations that stop banks and some companies from just creating wealth out of thin air by doing nothing and taking massive risks that put our economy at risk. We can work to create jobs and get wages increasing again.

These are real world things that can help reduce poverty and they are things we can do now with just a little cooperation form our elected leaders.
