The audio portion where someone attempted to record the video playing within this video is very poorly done. Whoever recorded it left it in the red zone resulting in over-modulation and distortion. Please consider your audience before filming again. Thanks.

In the current system, the rich have the means to pay for better health care, better education, better representation in the law courts - these are things that should be available to all in equal measure NO MATTER WHAT. I think Jeffrey Sachs should run for President - he would do a world of good for the U.S.A. and bring it back to being a true, economically strong democracy.

Yes, I think inequality is unjust, and I think that money, greed and profit is the problem - think about it this way - if we didn't have money and we went back to the way things were done before there was money - a simple 'trading' system, in which a service was traded for a service or a resource was traded for another resource - you would never have inequality. No one person could possibly offer the return value of billions of dollars to the people they took it from (by however means).

Excellent talk, I just regret it got sidetracked at the end with people whining about the word "occupy" ... I mean really? You're not going to participate in fighting for human rights and the restructuring towards a more democratic representation because of a fucking word? How self-righteous can you be? That's nothing, that's marketing... "Omg they aren't using the right word, I'm not participating" Get over yourself... I actually hate that it was brought up at all, cause now I'm just miffed.
