Well I was going to read it until the first "Fact" was Leftwing Ideology and Propaganda.

Thanks.

Sorry I have heard the 1% rich and class warfare bull shit quite enough. All it is designed for is to divide people. If you really want to make this country prosper you need to reduce governments power. They are the ones picking winners and losers, they enable lobbyist. Until you put the federal government in there place they will continue to gain more power and give power to who they gain theirs from.

Fact: It's not you or the general population.

I didn't read the article. I said I stopped at his first fact which is not fact. No need to go further.

By the way we most likely see the same problem but not the same fix.
But if your interested this man has the fix. In my opinion the only fix and even got agreement a Zuccotti Park.

The crowd in the day time was not so bright but later at night more intelligent people showed up. More inline with collage kids and working class. At 41 minutes it's getting to be night time.

They think this is "Freedom". Of course they are wrong. It is nothing more than crime legalized by the criminals themselves. It's only "freedom" if you're a criminal. The most glaring fact they refuse to see is that their movement was designed by said snake oil salesmen, con men, rip-off artists and aspiring plantation masters;

Ladies and Gentlemen I refer you to Chuck-n-Daves Travelling Circus, featuring the Fat Wizard, Mitt the Outsourcer, Captain Paranoid and the Ditz of Denali.

Musical Entertainment provided by "Reverend Rightwing Whacko" opening for "The Draft Dodger of Detroit" who shall regale us with tunes from his latest his latest album, "Pedophile with a Gun Fetish".

Come one, Come All, Enjoy the Show! (With a gracious nod to P.T. Barnum)

Have a nice day,
