I guess I'm missing your point Unless it's that your wife is in the minority of the 23% that "don't have an opinion"?

All that education and you cant follow along? He was referring to Glass-Steagle. Virtually no one knows what that is. Hell there are polls taken that show 50% of americans cant identify their congressman or senator.

Then I guess these protesters are vastly better informed on the financial and economic issues involving this country than the average American. We know they are already more politically active and involved in their citizenship duties.

I thought they represented 99%? Face it there is virtually no segment of americans where 40% have heard of Glass-Steagle.

"Face it, it can't exist, because I said so. I don't need any evidence to the contrary. And if you try and show some, I'll ignore and dismiss it out of hand. My guess of less than 5% is better than your guess of 30-40%, because I said so".

Yeah. I know your debate style.

LOL. Noone would think that 40% of any group of people in American society outside of bankers or people working in financial markets would know the particulars of Glass-Steagle. While I suppose that it impossible to actually figure out an exact percentage I would think that my number is far cmore accurate due to the fact that hardly anyone knows much about an act that was passed 80 years ago.

Except me, when I reference the protesters on Wall Street who actively discuss the repeal of Glass-Stegall as one of the major causes of our economic collapse, and are calling for it's reinstatement and strengthening.

Hence my statement that I think that 30-40% of them know what Glass-Stegall is.

Which aspect that has been repealed? There is zero chance that 40% of the people milling about in NYC protests have any clue what the Glass-Steagle act is. It is really laughable to think that you believe that. Of course you believe the 1st stimulus was a big success too despite all evidence (like occupy Wall street) to the contrary.
