Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed.
If people all over the world...would do this, it would change the earth.

Against injustice, lying, and greed?

Injustice doesn't exist. This is because justice doesn't exist. Try to answer the question "What is justice" before talking about preventing injustice.

Everyone lies. We wouldn't get anything done without it. You need a powerful person to be able to control the weak masses. Society doesn't function without.

The pursuit of money, called greed to some, is what the average person chases. If you rally against greed it is only because you are jealous of the wealth another possesses.

You assume...incorrectly I might add, that money, wealth and possessions are the driving force in everyone's lives

It wasn't assumption. It's fact.

So no one is idealistic in the world? Phil's right. There are plenty of people who have God as the driving force in their life, or principles (Bernie Sanders, Ron Paul, Paul Wellstone, Justin Amash).

Some, but not all. Most people are driven by desire for material wealth. I didn't say everyone, I said the average person. Those protesting against the 1% would gladly take their place and fight just as hard to keep it if they were in the same situation.

I, speaking as the former official spokesperson for the 99% am happy that you sir have now taken on that mantel, I hadn't even realized my own materialism until I read your post.
Now I find myself with the overwhelming desire to go sit on Santa's lap with a really big list of all the cool stuff I don't have. So toodles and thanks again!!

Most people are driven by rational self-interest. That may coincide with a drive for wealth, but that doesn't say the same thing. You're calling protesters irrational hypocrites when they are in fact quite rational.
