We've heard this before.....

Occupy Wall Street! Occupy Boston! Occupy Worcester! Occupy everywhere! That is the battle cry of the useful idiots who have decided to camp outside in city parks to protest. You dare to ask what they are protesting against? Shame on you for asking! Young idealistic naive college students lament the unfairness of low wages and student loan debt while older people decry the Bush Administration and pine for more government regulations. Finally, one month into this debacle, a common theme is starting to emerge as organized labor and radical leftist groups start to take hold of the movement. Basically they want the wealth of those in the private sector taken away by the government and redistributed to those who need it more.
If that sounds familiar to you it should. Marx and Engel were saying the same thing when they published the Communist Manefesto in 1848. You don't believe me? Well here is a copy of the n points as written in that book:


1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all right of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5.Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State
capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a
common plan.
8. Equal liability of all to labour. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of the population over the country.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labour
in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production.


Can there really be any doubt what this movement is all about. I thought it was especially interesting to read #2 only to find we already have that type of tax system. We even call it
by the same name! Substitute healthcare in #10 and you have Obamacare. Some of these ideas
like abolishing child labor and providing free public education are good but the underlying
idea is flawed. By giving the government all of the power you give up all liberty. That is
against our American tenants. Accuse any of the protesters of being Communist and they go
ballistic in their denials but isn't that what they are? I think the evidence is clear.

Do we need another elitist representing us? I say no!

Obama economist and highly paid Harvard Professor Elizabeth Warren, who is running against Scott Brown for the Senate, released information showing she has raised over 3 and a half million dollars during the third quarter of 2011. Amazing how she was so quick to release that tidbit but failed to make the deadline for releasing her own personal information. According to Boston Herald columnist Holly Robichaud, who appeared on the Jim Polito show on WTAG this morning, Professor Warren has yet to submit her required financial disclosure and has applied for an extension to do so until January 2012. Apparently Warren not only makes over $347,000 from Harvard, she also collects tens of thousands of dollars every year from being a consultant and for special projects. Hardly the type of income most of us live with every day. Given that, I simply ask this. Do you really think Warren could possibly know what it's like to worry about heating costs, gasoline cost, food costs or the impact the higher taxes she is calling for would have on our personal budgets? Warren is just another hypocrite, liberal, elitist, socialist Democrat and I for one think we have enough of them in our government already.

Occupy Wall Street...er Elm Park Worcester?

This coming weekend Elm Park will be invaded by a group of protesters in support of the occupy Wall Street group in NYC. If the model stays true to form, the demonstrators will consist of group of spoiled college students, thug union types, college professors, Communist Party USA representatives, homeless people, gypsies and of course a smattering of liberal Democrat politicians shamelessly looking for some media attention. If you are wondering what they are demonstrating for, I'm sorry but so far none of those interviewed at other locations have been able to answer. Those behind the scenes, like George Soros and others, are not so ignorant. Those types want to collapse our banking system and replace our capitalist economy with a communist one. Think I'm exaggerating? Just listen to "Queen" Elizabeth Warren railing against business owners and Rosanne Barr calling for re-education camps and the return of the guillotine for non compliers. Yes the college kids are naive and harmless. That cannot be said about the folks behind the scene stirring it all up!
