It's about the jobs!
 

OK... make this a political party issue.... If it makes you feel better. *shrug*

If you hear what they are saying and read the signs, you will not find one sign that points to any political party. When this movement first started, the right said it was their movement and now it's the left. I've seen groups from both sides yeah it and both sides nae it!

I don't know why it ALWAYS has to be US against THEM. Maybe you are all right... I'm stupid because I think we are all a part of this country. I think we could learn by listening to each other and learning from each other.

Now... can we try to put our heads together and figure out how to bring the jobs back to this country for our children???

"Adbusters founders cheer their Occupy idea

The Canadian Press Posted: Oct 14, 2011 12:53 AM ET Last Updated: Oct 14, 2011 10:34 PM ET

With roots that reach as far as Cairo's fertile Tahrir Square, the Occupy protests roiling Wall Street will finally come full circle this weekend as they blossom in Canada, where they were conceived by Vancouver-based Adbusters.

Just a few short months ago, staff members at Adbusters' magazine — one of the seminal agents of the modern-day culture-jamming movement — watched, rapt, as scores of ordinary Egyptians took to the streets to depose a dictator and end decades of brutal repression at the hands of their government.

"We had sort of a communal, 'Aha!' moment," Adbusters co-founder Kalle Lasn recalled in an interview.

"We started wondering whether the same kind of tools that were used in Egypt, and the sort of regime-change philosophy, couldn't be applied to America."

The ensuing conversation eventually led to the Occupy Wall Street movement, an international uprising against economic inequality and corporate influence on the U.S. federal government.

The campaign, which began on Sept. 17 as an occupation of Manhattan's Zuccotti Park, has generated waves that have engulfed dozens of American cities and spread to countries around the world.

On Saturday, it arrives in several Canadian cities, including Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver."

Could you please supply a link to validate this comment in your post...

"When this movement first started, the right said it was their movement"

The movement in question...ie., the jobs not cuts group was very much the ongoing marriage of Moveon and the union movement !

Sorry... I wasn't talking specifically about the "jobs not cuts" movement I was talking about the bigger movement "Occupy". I'm sorry I wasn't clear.

As pointed out in another post. This isn't just in the US, the Occupy is worldwide. While it is about many things it is very much about jobs.

I know (again I'm talking stupid), but, why wouldn't we be at least "trying" to work for the same goal?

:mademyday: Angie you are one wise woman in my humble opinion. I hope one day to meet you. Thank you so much for your words in this and your previous post.

let's see how positive they are when they get squaters like in New York. The feces and garbage has to smell aweful! They need to use a fire hose and clean them out. I hope this does not spread. Who is Janet Tutt? Just wondering...

Bingo. This is the same class warfare that the left has been using for 60 years. No difference.

Hope it doesn't spread.....
 

Too late... It's already worldwide.....

After several requests and observation that the discussion has turned too political, this thread will be moved to the political forum where the discussion can continue.
