With incredible clarity one man speaks the truth. It isn't "truth to power" but rather truth to counter ignorance. It won't work, of course, but it certainly is worth saying.
"Don't blame Wall Street, don't blame the big banks, if you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself. It is not someone's fault if they succeeded, it is someone's fault if they failed,"That's Herman Cain speaking. Read it all here:
Businessman Speaks to Occupiers
Maybe someone will take the time to read it to those illiterate fools in the streets.

He's right, of course, but all these bred-on-the-government-teat types won't listen to him.
I think it's getting awfully close to clean up the gene pool time....
BHO has become so irrelevant and impotent, even to his own party (deteriorating relationship with the Senate, ChicTrib, Carville; diminishing donations from Wall Street and the left coast), that it's inevitable he will not be a 2012 Presidential candidate.
So, with HRC (buy one, get WJC for free!) as the candidate - my opinion is that Herman Cain is the only R candidate bold enough to best her.
It's my money and NO you can't have it!!!!
It could be illiterate fools in the streets. It could be a movement against the guys sitting around a table figuring out how to screw working class people out of their money. My guess is that this will be around a while. But only time will tell
I saw a list of goals for the movement(see below). A lot are silly but one is sure to be a hit here, is dumping the income tax, LOL.
Herman Cain is the best Obama killer you have running now that Perry has taken a dive in the polls. The pity for you guys is that Jeb Bush won't run.

Note: This list is information not an endoresment of them by me. In fact I might support a third of it... if that.
List of demands by supporters of Occupy Wall Street
They include, but are not limited to;

The United States Congress shall take full control of the Federal Reserve.
Repeal of the 16th amendment.
Re-investing the 9/11 terror attacks.
Overturn the Citizens United Supreme Court decision.
End the War on Drugs.
Require all corporations to have Labor Representatives on Company Boards.

Reinstate the Glass-Stegall Act.
Ban flash trading.
Make it illegal to pay men and women differently.
Creation of "An office of the Citizen" which would investigate corruption at every government level.
The United States must sign and ratify all human rights agreements with other countries.
The persecution of "Wall Street criminals" by the government. (Not specific).
Restore true Democracy to the government.
Environmental Reform.
Repeal Readiness Exercise 1984.
Revamp the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Pass laws limiting the influence of lobbyists.
Pass the "Buffett Rule" which would raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans. (This contradicts with repealing the 16th amendment.)
Pass revolving door legislation.
"Real" healthcare reform.
I didn't get any further than "The United States Congress shall take full control of the Federal Reserve. " The Fools on the Hill couldn't run a one car funeral. Suggest the protestors go back to smoking dope and spending their parents' money and leave the streets to us adults.
