A favorite buzz word running through the 1% of Americans who are a privileged class because, they can afford to buy legislation is, ‘uninformed’ when it comes to to the Wall Street Occupiers. I have covered this previously but, now I want to inform some of the 1% freely throwing the word around to discredit them.
To the 1% who are uninformed. I don’t want your money! It is yours. Could I use it? Sure. I’m not sure how to meet the basic obligations of our household since my wife took a demotion with a big pay cut from her employer because of a disability. However, that’s my business. I’m responsible, and must handle it. In the end, I’ll take care of it.
How you conduct yourself whether it be finances or, otherwise is up to you. It will reflect on your character. It will show what you are made of, your moral fiber.
We don’t want your money. What we do want is, the same buying power for our money as you have for yours. The same breaks within the system. A fair tax code for all of us. We want you to have no more, and no less of a break than, anyone else. We want to have the same access to CONgress as you enjoy through lobbying tactics or, lobbyists should be thrown out, completely.
As employers, I want you to admit to deception. I want you to admit you need no special favors from the system. Admit that if the system allowed for equal status for all of us, if there was a correction to the imbalance, you would remain as an employer. Why would you do that? You would still be at the top of your income class.
Perhaps, instead of netting an arbitrary profit of $10m/yr., it would only be $5m/yr. Further, you would employ no more, no less than it takes to get you there, just like you do, now. You wouldn’t close the doors because as a profitable business person you would still be doing very well. The difference; You would have to do well because you earn it, not because you can take advantage of the laws you bought. You have to be good at what you do.
Your lobbying has been successful. The system is full of breaks for you. So, why is the ‘battle cry’ from especially the Republicans to the 99%; ‘Don’t depend on the government, do it yourself!?’ Sounds good and, of course with that, they should have your campaign $upport. After all, they want us to believe that statement applies only to the 99% when, all the laws, and legislation you have purchased allow you to depend on the government. Some of you, even got a hefty bonus when TARP funds came in from the government.
The Occupiers on Wall Street are very well informed. Perhaps the 99% might consider a more worthy donation to Occupy Wall Street, rather than a donation to your highly uninformed ‘fat cat career politician.’
Speaker of the House, John Boehner was quite correct when he asserted, ‘this is class warfare.’ For all the wrong reasons, John, you are correct. It is most certainly class warfare.
