Soft Regime Change in America
The #OCCUPY movement is entering an ominous new phase.
Police attacked #OCCUPYOAKLAND on Tuesday with tear gas, rubber bullets and flash grenades. Scott Olsen, a two time Iraq war veteran, was critically wounded in the assault. Graphic pictures of an unconscious Olsen, his skull fractured, being carried by fellow protestors to safety have reverberated from Zuccotti to Cairo and escalated the movement. On Wednesday, three thousand protestors reclaimed the square, reestablished their encampment and held a general assembly that called for a General Strike.
"We as fellow occupiers of Oscar Grant Plaza propose that on Wednesday November 2, 2011, we liberate Oakland and shut down the 1%... All banks and corporations should close down for the day or we will march on them."
There are signs of occupations in other cities taking up Oakland's call. A tantalizing possibility hangs in the air: Could a wildcat general strike spread across the nation? Are we witnessing the first clues of how a soft regime change might begin in America?

And you are a name calling troll and a slave. Go watch Dancing with the Stars and leave the math to experts. You don't know your ass from a hole in the ground and those web links were just corny and irrelevant.

Right out of the right-wing talking point playbook - how original. The 53% theory was debunked weeks ago, so try again.
In the meantime...
Maybe you could ask General Electric why they paid NO income taxes for the past (at least) two years. If they give you an honest answer, you can then ask them why they aren't investing that savings into this country, but instead are investing overseas. This is the profile of a typical "corporate welfare queen." What percentage do they belong to... the 1% who use public infrastructure but refuse to contribute toward its upkeep?
You see, if you were truly with the program, you would know that some of those 99% used to be gainfully employed by GE and other corporations before their jobs were shipped overseas (and were also paying their income taxes during that time).
You would know this if you did your own research. Nonetheless, you have simply proven yourself to be another budding member of the intellectually dishonest hedonist greed-mongering faux "Christians" in this country.
Wouldn't want to be you right now.
