There is one of these "Occupy" demonstrations scheduled for this Friday in downtown Minneapolis. The location is right across the street from where I work. My office cube overlooks the area of the demonstration. I need to review an episode or two of Best Defense - Survival.

These people need to ask themselves, "When was the last time a poor person gave you a job ?"


for 3 years straight, I had employees that made more money then I did as a contrctor.   Granted I was not exactly poor, but my hourly rate had to have been in the single digits.  They were also very highly paid,( about $10/hr over union scale and $15/hr over the going rate) but they busted thier ass and earned every penny they made, if they didn't they knew they were getting a pink slip. 

I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.

personal taxs are nothing, payroll taxs are what hurts.  Not only do you have to give them the withholdings, but thier are addional charges on top of that.

Its posts like these and others that show you are out of touch. with the average person. Such as now, you want to act like your a poor guy giveing someone a job because that goeas against the others ideas but you just recently had a post bitching about paying $7000 in taxes in just one quater. So are you the poor guy giveing somone a job or the rich guy whining about paying taxes?

FTA: "Who Is Behind the ‘US Day of Rage’ to ‘Occupy’ Wall Street this September 17th?
    Posted on August 19, 2011 at 11:20am by Tiffany Gabbay Tiffany Gabbay

What, exactly, is a “US Day of Rage?” Well, on September 17th we may find out for certain, but until then, The Blaze is revealing what information does exist about this very nefarious-sounding campaign.

A US Day of Rage is the title given to a day of ostensibly “non-violent” civil disobedience orchestrated by a group of radicals — that reportedly include SEIU’s Stephen Lerner and ACORN founder Wade Rathke (who, coincidentally, formerly served as president of SEIU’s local New Orleans branch) — targeting Wall Street and U.S. capitalism. It’s worth noting that the title of the movement — if its intentions are indeed non-violent in nature — appears to contradict itself slightly.

But what is perhaps even more interesting than its title is who is allegedly behind the movement.

You may recall that back in March The Blaze exposed Lerner for stating his aspirations to destroy JP Morgan Chase and cause the collapse of the entire stock market.

Now, the US Day of Rage protests, staged by a collective of activist groups allegedly in conjunction with Lerner and Rathke, are planning the actual “occupation” of Wall Street September 17, complete with a tent city set smack-dab in the middle of Manhattan’s financial district.  Similar protests are purportedly set to take place across the nation — and even world — at the same time. Some Day of Rage organizers are even calling on activists to squat in Manhattan’s financial district for months at a time."

It was known as far back as July, if not earlier, that Lerner, Rathke, et al. were planning on taking down Wall Street. More at the link, highlights above mine.

btw have you seen the list of demands?

Quote
Demand one: Restoration of the living wage. This demand can only be met by ending "Freetrade" by re-imposing trade tariffs on all imported goods entering the American market to level the playing field for domestic family farming and domestic manufacturing as most nations that are dumping cheap products onto the American market have radical wage and environmental regulation advantages. Another policy that must be instituted is raise the minimum wage to twenty dollars an hr.

Demand two: Institute a universal single payer healthcare system. To do this all private insurers must be banned from the healthcare market as their only effect on the health of patients is to take money away from doctors, nurses and hospitals preventing them from doing their jobs and hand that money to wall st. investors.

Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment.

Demand four: Free college education.

Demand five: Begin a fast track process to bring the fossil fuel economy to an end while at the same bringing the alternative energy economy up to energy demand.

Demand six: One trillion dollars in infrastructure (Water, Sewer, Rail, Roads and Bridges and Electrical Grid) spending now.

Demand seven: One trillion dollars in ecological restoration planting forests, reestablishing wetlands and the natural flow of river systems and decommissioning of all of America's nuclear power plants.

Demand eight: Racial and gender equal rights amendment.

Demand nine: Open borders migration. anyone can travel anywhere to work and live.

Demand ten: Bring American elections up to international standards of a paper ballot precinct counted and recounted in front of an independent and party observers system.

Demand eleven: Immediate across the board debt forgiveness for all. Debt forgiveness of sovereign debt, commercial loans, home mortgages, home equity loans, credit card debt, student loans and personal loans now! All debt must be stricken from the "Books." World Bank Loans to all Nations, Bank to Bank Debt and all Bonds and Margin Call Debt in the stock market including all Derivatives or Credit Default Swaps, all 65 trillion dollars of them must also be stricken from the "Books." And I don't mean debt that is in default, I mean all debt on the entire planet period.

Demand twelve: Outlaw all credit reporting agencies.

Demand thirteen: Allow all workers to sign a ballot at any time during a union organizing campaign or at any time that represents their yeah or nay to having a union represent them in collective bargaining or to form a union.

Where exactly do they think the money for all this is going to come from?  Oh, that's right, the evil rich.  Silly me.
