It is interesting that OWS has celebrity or wealthy supporters - like Nancy Pelosi - who's husband is an investment banker - odd
Or Russell Simmons, who aside from being a part of Run DMC, is also a founder and investor in RushCard, a pre-paid credit card, which makes fees off financial transactions - odd

You haVe 2 clearly defined sides--
Ones with one day (usually workdays) of civil protest--no arrests- by tax payors with lower taxes/less gov theme
--and the others that can camp out for weeks--(no apparent jobs) wanting bigger gov and redistribution of wealth them.
Two distinctly diff approaches to the concept of the American Dream
Would be nice if we get build huge fence and seperate them and let each side remove the other the other from equation and each live by their own convictions.

I just saw where your base has finally provided a solution that should satisfy the protestors--
--however expect "the pack" here won't be satisfied unless these unemployed have union representation included also :lol:

Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. has offered his own $804 billion [COLOR=blue !important][FONT=arial, sans-serif][COLOR=blue !important][FONT=arial, sans-serif]jobs[/FONT][/FONT][/color][/color] plan that calls on the federal government to hire the nation?s 15 million unemployed Americans for jobs paying roughly $40,000 each, and bail out all the states and cities facing budget crises.
In an interview with the Daily Caller on Wednesday, the Illinois Democrat applauded President Obama for directing his staff to greenlight job-creating initiatives without [COLOR=blue !important][FONT=arial, sans-serif][COLOR=blue !important][FONT=arial, sans-serif]congressional[/FONT][/FONT][/color][/color] approval after his $447 billion jobs bill was defeated in the Senate this week.
?Now we?re making some progress,? Jackson said, comparing the legislative gridlock in Congress to the states that seceded from the union during the Civil War.
"We've seen Congress is in rebellion," he said, "determined to wreck or ruin at all costs."
Jackson said the government?s direct hiring of the nation?s 15 million unemployed Americans would cost $600 billion.
?It could be a five-year [COLOR=blue !important][FONT=arial, sans-serif][COLOR=blue !important][FONT=arial, sans-serif]program[/FONT][/FONT][/color][/color],? he said. ?For another $104 billion, we bail out all of the states. For another $100 billion, we bail out all of the cities.?
?We put people to work cleaning up communities. We put people to work through a civilian conservation corps, through a Works Progress Administration because the hour demands it,? he said.
?And as more people work, they pay taxes, they [COLOR=blue !important][FONT=arial, sans-serif][COLOR=blue !important][FONT=arial, sans-serif]pay [/FONT][/FONT][FONT=arial, sans-serif][COLOR=blue !important][FONT=arial, sans-serif]taxes[/FONT][/color][/FONT][/color][/color] into the 4th quarter, they buy wares, they buy homes, they meet their obligations and our economy begins to work its way out of this protracted recession,? he continued. ?That?s the only way out of this crisis. And I hope the president begins to continue to exercise extraordinary constitutional means based on the history of Congresses that have been in rebellion in the past.?
But not everyone is convinced that Jackson's plan would work. Even a fellow [COLOR=blue !important][FONT=arial, sans-serif][COLOR=blue !important][FONT=arial, sans-serif]Democrat[/FONT][/FONT][/color][/color] has criticized it.
