After many weeks of looking at and listening to the Occupy Baltimore protesters, it has become clear why the income disparities they are complaining about exist.
Dave Reich, Perry Hall
If the Occupy protesters are poor, it's their own fault

Maybe candle-making and slam poetry didn't work out for them.

Communists Work on a New Improved, Pro-Obama ‘Occupy’ Movement
"What will change though, if the Communist succeed in dominating the movement they have so thoroughly infiltrated, will be a new, more disciplined, less anarchic – even electorally focused “Occupy” movement.
In a report to the National Committee of the Communist Party USA, which met in New York City, Nov. 12-13, 2011, Party National chairman Sam Webb, laid out his analysis of the current political climate , and the role of the “Occupy” movement and the Communist Party in moving the “progressive” movement forward.
Wrote comrade Webb;
This is a volatile period. Battle lines are being drawn. Not for a while have things been so unhinged.
A marked upswing, if not a qualitative turn in class and democratic struggles, is afoot.
Sustained mass actions, civil disobedience, new levels of solidarity and consciousness, innovative tactics and slogans, and a complex array of social forces and organizations are reshaping the political landscape in unexpected ways."

I'm sure that god will shine a light on these corrupt CEOs and titans of industry and then they will all realize that firing loyal employees for no reason other than they want more money for themselves so they can buy another house, another yacht, etc.etc. will now happen. In fact, as we all sink deeper into joblessness, student loan debt, credit card debt (after all, how can you live when your job has been taken from you?), maybe we should just wait for god to fix everything. But then again, if men and women are supposed to be responsible for themselves in all things as so many of you insist, why should we wait for god to fix it? Time to take our economy and country back from those who exploit us.
