There are many theories as to who is orchestrating the “Occupy Wall Street” protests – known in some circles as “Kamp Alinsky” and “Kamp Kvetch” – in lower Manhattan and elsewhere throughout our country. George Soros? President Obama? Could they possibly be spontaneous?
No matter. The protesters and their message of social justice, socialism and general hatred of all things corporate will not affect the great majority of Americans. The average Joe and Jill are just trying to pay their bills, raise a family and live a decent life. Hence the Wall Street rabble, a motley combination of bored teenagers, old guard lefties and hard core partiers, many armed with iPhones, digital cameras and many other luxuries produced by corporations, are badly missing the mark. As usual, the protesters’ signs tell the story – none more so than the one that says, “A job is a right. Capitalism doesn’t work.” Could any serious types associate with this fringe mentality?
Enter Michael Mulgrew – the United Federation of Teachers president. Speaking “truth to power,” his tax-the-rich talk at a Wall St. rally fit right in with the angry mob that thinks wealth is evil and that if A has more money than B, A owes B some of it. It’s the mentality that thinks that there is no moral difference between Bernie Madoff and Bill Gates.
What the teachers unions really want is to make sure that every human being walking the planet who wants to be a teacher becomes one. Swelling the roles of the profession – competency be damned – makes the unions as rich and powerful as the corporations they hate for being rich and powerful.
American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten couldn’t miss the opportunity to throw in her two cents. As always, beating the victim drum, she whined about our country being on the wrong track and bemoaned the country’s “long term structural inequalities.” Whatever.

If it wasn't for "capitalism" these idot protesters would be marching naked in the streets, starving, with no signs to hold up! Now that sounds like the "Communism" they are looking for. Let's send them to one of the "Communist" countries for a life long lesson! These ungrateful ingrates don't deserve a place in this country!
One that knows…I only wish they understood that, how important capitalism is to the middle class!
I brought even the poor a great well being, no one is starving in this country, and we all have a place to live, electricity etc…Due to Capitalism, which Obozo, our Liar in Chief wants to destroy, thinking it bad!!! Never has a whole people been lifted up as high as capitalism has lifted this country!!

When You Have A Mixture Of Union Goons With The Unknown Whiners The Only Thing Good They Are All In The Zuccotti Zoo, Yikeess, So The Smell Is Only A Little Worse Than A Zoo. God Bless America And The Real Tea Party Patriots, ABO.
You ask "Could they possibly be spontaneous"?? Well, "birds of a feather flock together" and each one mentioned has his hand(s) in the other guy's gloves!
