The chart Lilo posts demonstrates one of the flaws of the occupiers. Their emphases (see, "The 99 Percent Declaration") on taxation on the one hand and increased government spending on the other inevitably feeds the government beast that's currently collapsing in Europe. Thus, they can't gain allies on the other side of the chart.

Both big government and big business (and big education and big foundations) can be reformed without embracing the sort of spending policies that are already proven to be a failure in other countries.
