Occupy American People with Pete Seeger and Social Justice!

So... after having a session at the Gopher Lounge down in West Duluth for a "work meeting" we - meaning the hardcore folks that we left after induldging for 5+ hours came to the conclusion that "THE REVOLUTION IS HERE".   That bears repeating... "THE REVOLUTION IS HERE"... the class revolution that has taken form in of "Occypy ______". There was spirited talk of protest and solidarity... WHO'S WITH ME?
Even Duluth - less than 100,000 folks have had week long protests - Occupy Duluth - who would have thought? I think it says a whole lot if you ask me.

So I'll provide you with some solid facts in case you aren't hip to the revolution...

The richest 1% of adults in the world own 40% of the planet's wealth, according to the largest study yet of wealth distribution. The report also finds that those in financial services and the internet sectors predominate among the super rich.
Europe, the US and some Asia Pacific nations account for most of the extremely wealthy. More than a third live in the US. Japan accounts for 27% of the total, the UK for 6% and France for 5%.
The report found the richest 10% of adults accounted for 85% of the world total of global assets. Half the world's adult population, however, owned barely 1% of global wealth.
 

 
And one misconception that NEEDS to be cleared up is the idea that Obama can wave a magic wand and "create" jobs. Sorry folks, doesn't happen that way. The companies that control the money in this economy - dare I mention the bailed out bastards - are sitting on a huge pile of cash that they aren't investing  - ie. JOBS... not to mention they still pay the CEO's a heafty ?? million dollar salary and bonus every year since...so in the meantime the American public whiles away the hours wondering why our president isn't making jobs for everyone to go work at!?!

And so we have ridiculous statements by presidential candidates like "if you're not a millionaire the only one you have to blame is yourself". And we need to give tax breaks to the richest people in this country because if we don't they won't create jobs and we'll all be screwed! Yeah that trickle down economics is certain to work one of these decades!

Misinformed, sound-bite american public zombies that don't understand how this system works and how corrupt it is... Millions, if not Billions of lobbyist money sleazing up our government... given the cost of living and inflation the average wages in this country hasn't moved since the 70's.... do some research! 

WHEN DO YOU STAND UP AND SAY BULLSHIT... I'VE HAD ENOUGH? 
 
Off my soapbox... 
But I will end with the grandfather of protest songwriters... Mr. Pete Seeger fighting for justice...
WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?
