    Is it really charity, though? The "haves" allowing the "little people" to succeed, something like that? The OWS protesters are, like was stated in the article, "they're against inequality of opportunity," not against the inequality of wealth. But the deck has been stacked in favor of the haves...

    The Police Now Have Drones, Too
