Forum Post: A defendable position without simply attacking wealth

Most wealth in American was made on lands that belong to the Native Americans. To fight for more "wealth equality" does not address the very (nefarious) source of it! This is in part why wall-street scoffs at #occupy demands (they know you're demanding the bandits to give you part of the spoils!).

Once they were (nearly and mostly) genocided, the lands were eventually parceled out until everything was claimed. New generations now enter the world (like the Natives) having to fight for simple, basic, human rights to sleep and live. If you want to fight for something defensible, fight for those basic rights and THEN negotiate on how to share the land and create a beautiful planet.

Remember the Pledge of Allegiance says: "..and liberty and justice for all." The Natives have neither -- the whole house of cards can tumble down on that simple point.

Cheers, Marcos
