Bruce Wydick: Prophets Against Profits? What Occupy Wall Street Misses: The problem doesn’t lie with the 1%. It’s with us.

A spot-on analysis from Professor Wydick, IMO. From Christianity Today online.

The Occupy Wall Street movement shares more than it would like to admit with the Tea Party, its populist complement on the right. Rather than taking the approach of self-reflection and personal ownership of sin that Jesus imparts to his followers, each of these movements seeks to externalize blame onto a culpable Other. It is Immigrants or Muslims or Obamacare or Greedy Corporations or Corrupt Wall Street Financiers who are to blame for our problems. But obviously not … Us.

Read and reflect on it all.
