Class envy because someone has the guts to take the risks and makes more money from their efforts. Three end games have emerged since 'Occupy' started - steal what they have not earned, rage because they can't find a way to steal what they have not earned, and simple chaos. As I pointed out in the post, Oakland has driven away everything the protestors say they are demonstrating against. We have no more corporate empires in Oakland. Unfortunately, the voters out here have already destroyed everything the demonstrators seek to destroy by electing political morons more concerned with robbing the rich than encouraging employment. As long as government can rob 'The Man', and political hacks use class warfare to get votes, 'The Man' and all of us are at risk. <br /><br />I've read where we dupes of corporate America are fighting back. An organization called the 53%ers are finally representing all of us wagon pullers. See, only 53% of Americans pay taxes, and we're allowing the other 47% of people not paying taxes to run an extortion game on us. They whine, they cry, they piss away their freebies, and they want more. Well, once they've destroyed 'The Man' there won't be any more to steal.BernardLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722619048888613647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1405576651020920367.post-18884975295047726422011-10-27T08:00:51.880-07:002011-10-27T08:00:51.880-07:00Like many movements, I see it as having some heart...Like many movements, I see it as having some heart felt and good aims, but there is also a lot of naivety and in practice things are different. However, the folks with power almost always turn this kind of thing to their advantage anyway so I don't think we have many worries for the Man.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.com
