If the reckless behavior of the 1 percent caused the loss of 11 million jobs amongst the 99 percent, how long do you think it would be some amongst the 99 percent will sing class warfare songs????? I say let the school sing it loud and sing it with gusto. That way the Wall Street bankers will spend sleepless nights worrying about the brewing revolt of their making. If conservatives are smart, step aside and let OWS and Wall Street fight. Remember Wall Street bankers attacked the Tea Party because they always feared someone among the 99 percent will organize into a political resistance against their power in Wash DC.
It’s simply not the schools place to politicize children. Period.
Bizare reasoning. It wasn’t the 1 percent rich that caused the meltdown, it was government intervention in the housing market, otherwise known as the centrally managed economy that caused the meltdown. And why would “smart” conservatives look forward to the socialists tearing down Capitalism? I know Socialism will work here if it is done right (sarc), but in the last couple millenia when has bottom up anarchy based socialism worked? Can you name the country this worked for and led to prosperity?
P.S. Dont zot this one so quick. He seems to be fun.
Wall Street’s overexuberance might have led to busts, but not a prolonged malaise like this one which can be pinned squarely on leftist policies.
