4. Did he tie them in with Wall Street?

The biggest pack of them are in his city.

5. He wants to raise taxes

On the rich

6. It should be an easy task

The people making more than 200k per year can easily afford a larger slice of their income to help those less fortunate. The votes should be lined up and ready to go.

7. I saw some hope in that speech

That NYC will once again become the beacon of Liberalism in the US, where it started, in none other than New York City.

Let's hope that this is the REAL start of change that is so much needed in this country.

With him. A tad of relief and hope - props to Occupy for framing the issue so well
