6% could be a distrubing number and might perhaps gain some media attention if one also provided the time frame within which the change occured. Without the time frame the percent increase is meaningless.
There is not an Occupy movement because we prefer to have someone else do the work. If we as a society want something to change then we as a society need to act. Asking why no one else is doing anything is why policy, media and corporate agendas run rampant.
