I am the 53%

Politics

Occupy Wall Street says they represent 99% of Americans, but they display the behavior of an extremely radical and extremely small fringe of the political Left:

Sign this petition to say that Occupy Wall Street does not speak for you. You are part of the 53% of Americans who pay income taxes. When Occupy Wall Street calls for more government and more spending, the 53% has to foot the bill.

Occupy Wall Street is nothing like the TEA Party

Anybody who tries to tell you so probably thinks Tea Partiers are racists too. Here’s five, no make that six, ways the two groups are polar opposites.

  1. The Tea Party is a grass-roots movement rising up from anger with both major political parties.
  2. TEA stands for Taxed Enough Already. The Tea Party has two major goals: lower taxes and smaller government.
  3. Tea Partiers do not go to rallies with the intent of causing a confrontation with police. They do not block traffic and try to disrupt the flow of commerce.
  4. Tea Partiers are Capitalists
  5. Tea Partiers respect the rule of law.
  6. Tea Partiers go home at the end of the day, take a shower and go to work the next day.

Do occupy Wall Street protestors even know what they’re protesting?

Some talk of revolution. Some think a job is a right and capitalism doesn’t work. Some think capitalism is organized crime! Some think they’re “poor” because somebody else is “rich.” There are some in the crowd who are “rich” because they own expensive laptops.

Some equate Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama, say what? Some of the protestors even worked in a little religious philosophy. Some express solidarity with labor unions.

They use anarchist symbols like the Guy Fawkes masks popularized by the movie “V for Vendetta.” Somehow I doubt they even know who Guy Fawkes was. They’re really stupid because their philosophy seems to be a blend of communism and anarchism. Communism is a far cry from being an anarchist.

They’re getting support from millionaires like Michael Moore, Susan Sarandon, Roseanne Barr and Dr. Cornell West. All of these “celebrities” are hypocrites because they’re all worth millions of dollars. Idiots!
