This is an article from an LA rag. To the writers of this piece, the drudges of society are considered "normal."
The SEIU are obama’s brown shirts. They aren’t blaming him, but are attempting to shift the blame onto capitalism, republicans, banks, Wall Street, etc.
I hope that the NYPD crushes them like worms.
Couldn’t agree with you more, except one thing...
Investors can still “invest” and buy value at fair prices so long as they are patient and realistic - not a sign of most “investors” - certainly not this protest crowd.
Speculators (like me) have learned to adapt to the program driven shocks and actually have some distinct advantages over big mutual and hedge fund movers.
The market is still the most efficient capitalist clearinghouse and really doesn’t need cleaning up so much as “investors” need to develop more than a fast-food understanding of how it functions.
The truly frightening aspect of wallstreet protesters is their complete ignorance as to how businesses/corporations fit into the fabric of our nation’s wealth production capability. These people are economic illiterates at anything above the “tweet” level. The same people are so under educated in the sciences that modern inventions are essentially magic, ipods appear by the grace of Walmart, and carbon dioxide is hazardous(maybe even explosive!)
Society has always had jobs for these functional illiterates till now. Government overregulation and taxation has driven the manufacturing grunt jobs overseas and until we find a way for these slobs to make a reasonable living, their dissatisfaction will grow. Course it would be nice if these folks had rational expectations but the unending media promotion of wealth-without-work warps that reality.
What do the want now? They want the fruit of YOUR labor and MINE. These lazy, deadbeats just want a free ride, at the expense of the enslaved. That’s all they’ve ever wanted. Time to cut them off. If they get violent, shoot them. I don’t give a s*** about them any more.
Where is it written that I have to do that?
I shouldn’t ask... their aim is to MAKE such a law!
I don’t get it either. How did “We want your money” become an “anti-greed” message?
It IS the LA Times, but still ....
Several thousand is about the crowd size you see at one of the smaller, satellite Tea Parties around the country when the mega Tea Parties are gathering in D.C.
