Is The Occupy Wall Street Movement an Answer to The Tea Party Movement?

[Red Arrow]

Saw a group on the SE corner of 11th and Harvard today holding signs saying things like "How can I get a job when there are none to be had?" That argument is completely invalid in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Get over it and make something of yourself instead of whining on street corners.

Not too shabby for someone your age. I am favorably impressed and I do not intend that to be condescending.

We are hiring, so is the bank in our building, and one of the energy companies. Most retailers are hiring now for Christmas. St. Francis and Hillcrest are both hiring for tons of positions. There are jobs locally if you are willing to work. I would love to see some of the resumes these folks are peddleing.

I'm going to restrain myself, Gastriplebogey.  Suffice it to say, this movement is not only about jobs. It's about how to fix a crooked political system that is ruining our country.

Because I know some won't read it, here are a few factoids:

¶The 400 wealthiest Americans have a greater combined net worth than the bottom 150 million Americans.

¶The top 1 percent of Americans possess more wealth than the entire bottom 90 percent.

¶In the Bush expansion from 2002 to 2007, 65 percent of economic gains went to the richest 1 percent.

"As my Times colleague Catherine Rampell noted a few days ago, in 1981, the average salary in the securities industry in New York City was twice the average in other private sector jobs. At last count, in 2010, it was 5.5 times as much. (In case you want to gnash your teeth, the average is now $361,330.)"

Jobs, justice, and education...Of course, it is more complicated than that. It's not about jobs in a bible thumping, mediocre quality of life crappy dirty environment city.

Eric Cantor should go back to his mob in the GOP/Teabagging fringes.... those GOP politicians campaigned on job creation, too. They're liars, one and all. Don't be fooled for a minute that they're becoming sympathetic to the message. It's a Rope-A-Dope ploy. Cantor is after all as pure an anarchist as you can find. You don't hold your country's Treasury hostage and lower its credit rating unless you want it to fail, hoping to benefit from the carnage. Republicans are self-serving and would walk over the corpses of dead american soldiers, our civil rights, the constitution, and even their own GOD to get re-elected.

EVERY bit as much as he has!!  Plus the extra effort of a couple of hard, heart felt grunts to aid the process!

They will have to learn to read first.  The classifieds and Craigslist are chock full of jobs.

So, a vet has a greater moral authority on a subject than anyone else. Good to know. Seriously, sometimes I think some in here lob in softballs on purpose.
