Doing get me wrong I'm supportive 100% I've been out with you guys and everything... but is going on like this realistic?
Well, let's see....no jobs, no more teachers, no more firefighters, no more infrastructure to be repaired, no more food on our shelves, no more medical care that is affordable, no more homes, but gosh darn we got a lot more homelessness, more poverty, more diseases and on and on and on.....and Corporate America and the fat cats get bonuses and more $$$$$$......but is going on like "that" realistic?.
I am sure, people would rather be working, but hey...this is AMERICA.!!!!
SO AM I!!!!
I know this will continue I'm talking about what's been going on on the streets
I think the gen-x and those who follow have been clamouring for something to sink their teeth into. Hunger in America, hunger abroad...the mere in-kind assistance given by our government is sinply putting a finger in the damn. Check out Somalia...a country the world rallied around years ago...looks what is taking place now that noone is watching. The 1% only contribute when their meager efforts are newsworthy. I will give the media credit, someone in Rupert Murdoch's organization is growing tired of the status quo. Gen-xers and the sons and daughters of gen-xers need to take off the rose colored glasses. This is what our America looks like. Our parents left this and now they are going to want us to take car of them. They should not have let the greedy in the babyboom generation lead them down this path of certain destruction.
How long did it take to create these problems? How long does it take to get a job( 40 weeks ave.)? And how long since this started? We are up to 1324 cities and growing., fast.
This is still way oo early for demands. Just between us, the first demand is Powell's "you broke, it you fix it." but we don't have to say it out loud. It isn't yet time for making demands.
They (the1%) are figuring it out. They are making their own list. They know what is wrong, they caused it, and paid for it (to politicians), and they know how to fix it (Global undo). We just sit tight while they offer (and they will) to fix a few pieces that don't matter much to them. When we don't accept that, they will offer a little more and yadda, yadda, yadda, until we get what the 99% really needs.
This is simple, but not simpler than it must be. This will not be won with shouting and threats, and demands. It is won by the rest of the 99% being proud to join us, and join us anyway that they can. We want your Mom to join us, so clean up after yourself, act like an adult, treat others with respect.
When she comes and grandma comes, we have won, because the guys who get on here and swear at us will be here too, with their wives, their kids and their Mom's.Why? Because they are in the 99% too.

ASK "THE POWERS THAT BE" how long this is going to continue. It's entirely up to them!
The more "THE POWERS THAT BE" stall the process, the greater the danger of it eventually turning ugly.
Someone said: "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." Who said that? Surely some pot-smoking hippie leftist, right? Well... not quite. In a 1962 speech given from the White House, the 35th president of the United States said : " Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
Did you hear those words, Barack and Joe and Hillary and the many others who are presently stalling ? Did you hear the words of warning of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy? DID YOUR HEAR THEM? Thank you.
