Occupy Wall Street - Image #174,275

This protest is going to be very incoherent. All that I am hearing is "we want more jobs," but the protest does not have a specific focus. Do they want less regulation and lower taxes? Do they want more government jobs? Income redistribution? The only thing I am hearing from any of the protestors is "the economy sucks" and "corporations suck," and that's hardly constructive.

If we want to create more prosperity, we need government policies that encourage more spending from the private sector, because that is where jobs come from. Simply demanding more jobs is like demanding fries from McDonalds during a potato blight.
