Occupy Wall Street

  Me?  I hope these freaks refuse to leave; I hope they resort to violence; I hope they don’t bathe for weeks on end.  Sadly, the cold will come and they will leave.

   Once again, these wackos remind me of 1968, except I honestly believe this bunch is less informed.  I’m not even against some of the things they are for – it is just ‘they’ don’t know what they are for themselves.

   One of the arguments I get the biggest kick out of is the one saying no big wall street peep has gone to jail.  Let me be the first to tell you, if there were law breakers there, they would have been cuffed and publically walked to jail.  The simple fact is, the [LAWMAKERS] in this country have created such a maize of laws, the rich, through their lawyers can get away with just about anything.  Why not blame the lawmakers?  That is where the issue lies.

   In my mind, begin anew in this country with the tax laws.  Scrap it all, and make it simple – make it so simple one can NOT get around paying their fair share and you could take away many of the issues that now face this country. 

   One last thing – while I no longer work, I sure as this world turns on its axis, never got a job from a poor person (or a company that did not make money).  Good grief!
