The Occupy Wall Street protesters are beginning to see their support grow
larger and larger, not only in New York, or for that matter the United States,
but around the world. The global reach of banks and multinational
corporations have laid their fascist hands on nearly every country outside the
United States . The greed, corruption, and war profiting have left the
rest of us paying the bills in layoffs, cuts in benefits and cuts in government
services. Wall Street begged for public funds to bail them out of their corrupt
practices and then paid the public back by foreclosing on the people that they
put in hardship and giving themselves large bonuses. The concern among us
knows the frustration the protestors feel because we feel it as well. You
don't have to be a 99% (those not in the top 1% income bracket) to feel the
anguish of a falling America. Statistics bear this out. We are worse
than nearly all the industrialized nations in health care, education,
infrastructure and disparity of income. Despite all of this there are a
group of individuals who just don't get it.
The Republicans are starting to weigh in on the Occupy Wall Street movement
and what they are saying proves that they don't believe in "We the
People." To them government's job is to help usher in the corporate
new world order. They do not believe that "We the People" can change
anything. Presidential candidate Herman
Cain said, “Don’t blame Wall Street, don’t blame the big banks — if you
don’t have a job and you are not rich, blame yourself!” Mitt
Romney states, “I think it’s dangerous, this class warfare.” These are the
people who want to lead this country. It is obvious that they want to
lead us in the same direction that got us into this mess. The unofficial
leader of the Republican Party, Rush
Limbaugh said this, "These people are tools. They are abject tools.
They are an embarrassment. I mean the Vietnam War crowd is embarrassed at this
bunch, how stupid they are, and then to be steered onto the Brooklyn Bridge
where they can then be charged with a crime for obstructing a roadway? This is
a bunch of idiots." These are the voices of the Republican Party,
and we need to take notice.
