Title: I'm off to occupy Anchorage.
Post by: dandi on October 08, 2011, 06:22:10 PM

Okay, no disrespect intended to our fine Alaskan friends, but if someone "occupies" Anchorage, does anyone really notice? Are there a lot of big financial houses there? Isn't it kind of like saying, "I'm off to occupy Winston-Salem" or "I'm off to occupy Bakersfield"?

The responses are the equivalent of a golf clap after a double-bogey:

Ironically, the movement has reached Winston-Salem and, unlike others, they know what the problem is and how to solve it:

Quote

The group is ready to protest and rally against greed, not capitalism, Hodges said. "Capitalism in and of itself is not evil, but the unending desire to have it all is. We are suggesting that the rich pay their fair share and become people who have moral compasses."

Apparently capitalism is not the problem but too successful capitalism is the real problem. Of course the solution involves higher taxes and admitting you are evil to the core and must be re-programmed.

I guess the target here is some where along the axis of the evil banks (Wachovia, being renamed to Wells Fargo this weekend) and big tobacco (Reynolds).
