I would like to personally thank those Occupy Wall Street people. They have shined a light on the real people who committed fraud and have escaped any responsibility. Remember in the 1980s with the Savings and Loan crisis, over 1000 bankers went to jail. As of today none of the Wall St scum have gone to jail, yet. I would have to blame the "Tea Party" loons for changing the conversation away from who is responsible for our economic crisis to "Obama is a Kenyan-born, socialist who hates America and wants to kill your grandma!" The Tea party were useful idiots used by the true backers and funders of the Tea party: the Koch Brothers , Dick Armey, etc.
It certainly is about time someone besides Ralph Nader said stop the gross greed of the financial and corporate elite. We have to stop their political puppets corrupted by these corporate greed heads that have turned their backs on the poor and middle class. It is about time we had a little rage against the machine against the plutocratic bastards in an unjust economy and unresponsive politics.
It is time to hit the streets when 1% of the people own over 90% of the net worth in this country!! When its ok for teachers, cops , firefighters, postal workers and union jobs in general to join the ranks of the unemployed. When it is ok to have roads , bridges, schools, etc to crumble or close. When it is ok to throw people out of their homes because of dishonest bankers. When stuff like this occurs it is ok because profits are up at Goldman Sachs or Exxon Mobil or UPS!!
Folks this movement has to continue. It is already spreading to other cities throughout the country. I even heard people in Cairo are ordering pizzas online to send via local NYC pizza parlors to the OWS people!!
Brothers and sisters, to stand on the sidelines and just watch is to be complicit with what is going on!! When OWS comes to a downtown near you, get out and join them. The corporate forces fear this will spread. And they are right. Today the young people in the streets were joined by thousands of union workers!! It was amazing to watch construction workers and Teamsters march side by side with 20 year olds with purple hair and 70 year old grannies for peace. There is hope!! Enough is Enough!!
