Occupy Wall Street--foreverf!

“Workless poverty” in 1930’s England transformed the Eton schoolboy and Imperial policeman Eric Blair into the socially-conscious George Orwell. He went Down and Out in Paris and London; he went down the coal mines and picked hops in England. He saw the rich get richer and the working class get little reward. Sounds like the situation in the US today doesn’t it? His weapon was a pen but sometimes a handmade sign will do the same job today. One can only admire those who have come out against the greed and duplicity of the Masters of the Universe. Eric Cantor calls them a mob. There is no generosity of spirit on the Right. They know they are safe. It’s all there in Michael Lewis’ book “The Big Short”. Sell the public investments then double cross them and rake in the money. It’s all there in Thorstein Veblen’s “Theory of the Leisure Class”. Millions out of work, bankruptcy and foreclosures as far as the eye can see and they’re still running BMW and Cadillac commercials. The politicians are staying out of this since Wall Street owns them. Can’t expect any help from Obama either since Goldman Sachs was his biggest campaign contributor. All you can do is act on your own behalf. Scissor your credit cards and don’t be politically inert. You still have a vote.
Lenin said there could never be a revolution in England because the crowd wouldn’t storm Parliament when the signs read “Do not walk on the grass”. This is America so stand your ground people. Don’t let anyone push you away. You can’t trespass on democracy.
