Occupy Wall Street is a lot like Barack Obama's 2008
campaign. It's so vague that everyone sees what he wants to see in the
protests. Some people hate the bailouts, others want free stuff, some are mad
about jobs being shipped overseas, others are old hippies hoping for a sixties’
revival and that's before you even start talking about the Communists, Nazis,
anarchists, and wannabe revolutionaries.
Even though Occupy Wall Street is sort of a smellier, dirtier, less focused, more violent
bizarre-world version of the Tea Party, some of the people attending the
protests do mean well -- and they do have at least one legitimate grievance.
Both parties in power gave the thumbs up to TARP and the bailouts, which were really
little more than "heads, we win; tails, the taxpayers lose" crony
socialism. Whether it's banks, big agriculture, solar firms, General Motors, or
Chevrolet, big business shouldn't be given our tax dollars. If they can only
make it with an infusion of taxpayer dollars, then it's better for the country
in the long run if they don't survive.
That being said, since the Democratic Party is running a
2012 campaign centered around one of the Seven Deadly Sins, envy, it has worked
hard to create a number of myths that someone needs to address… http://townhall.com/columnists/johnhawkins/2011/10/25/5_myths_helping_to_drive_occupy_wall_street/page/full/
