As one can see from the video, this &lt;a href=&quot;./ninepieces.cfm&quot;&gt;single man playing piano has quelled all of the passions and in fact all of the demonstrators have left. Why? 






Well, they are probably marching en mass toward Washington DC. But hey, thats what America is all about! Here&apos;s what I wish they would say:

The obscenely wealthy individuals and corporations who draw benefit from our country&apos;s opportunities have a responsibility to keep it strong.
Revenues should go toward Education and Infrastructure.
No more standardized tests- put the money towards actually Teaching.
Healthcare COSTS are the problem- point the finger at doctors and insurance who are sickening our economy. Solve the problem.
Regulations are a good thing- even big kids need rules.
No politician should serve any interest other than America&apos;s.
Ideas and Compromise are good- Rush Limbaugh and Fox News propaganda is bad.
Bring the troops home, NOW.</description>
