occupy usa is gaining support |
|
the group occupy maine and occupy wall street etc are gaining support daily. the riught is starting to lose its grip as many are realizing they have been the stumbling block to the workers! A recent survey by The Washington Post and the Pew Research Center showed Occupy to be more popular now than the tea party, which keeps losing ground. The poll also showed that these two movements are quite distinct—they are not part of some generalized protest. Only 10 percent of those surveyed supported both Occupy Wall Street and the tea party. And as my colleague Greg Sargent has documented tirelessly, on many of the core issues (favoring higher taxes on millionaires and believing in a more even distribution of income and wealth) public opinion strongly supports the anti-Wall Streeters.
Obama’s aides have a habit of congratulating themselves too much when things start going well. The president has a long way to go, and he is pursuing a strategy now that he resisted for a long time. But it ought to encourage the president that Paul Ryan is terribly upset. Telling the truth about inequality is politically wise, and morally necessary

I'm sure you have heard by now the banks are backing down because of the pressure occupy wall street is having. Bank of america is one of the big boys and I think it is getting the message the everyday american is sick of the rip offs business are pulling and they are becoming aware of the party that is allowing it. make sure you vote next tuesday!

BREAKING: For the third time in three weeks, Senate Republicans filibustered a bill to create jobs – this time through rebuilding America’s crumbling roads and bridges. Unbelievable. These lawmakers won’t lift a finger to put people back to work and get our economy moving again. Meanwhile, Republicans in the House found time to debate and pass a reaffirmation of “In God We Trust” as our national motto, which has been in place since 1956, was reaffirmed in 2002, and again in 2006. As President Obama said, “I trust in God, but God wants to see us help ourselves by putting people back to work.” If you agree that Republicans should stop playing politics with our economy and help people get back to work, please sign our petition. We’re looking for 100,000 people to take a stand for jobs and America’s middle class. We’re going to keep calling Republicans out for their stubborn refusal to do anything to get our economy moving again. Thanks for your help.
they have no intention of helping working class people but only maintaining their masters grip on us. think about it every time they help to stall the economy and stocks drop they are draining your 401k's. who do you think is pulling out of the market before the drop happens? of course the huge holder;and who is the big loser the little guy with his few thousand and when it goes backup who do you think is increasing their buying? of course that 1% they are milking billions off your savings. yet they have the drones in the tea party (who was financed by the 5% and led by their puppet Dick almey of texas) ah yes organized to cause disruption and further the cause of lowering the tax rate for the upper 5%! oh yea they used the church the flag and misinformation while they continued to plunder the workers jobs,benefits and retirement!
