Hot Stuff: West Goes to Wall Street

[Smiley and West]

		West talks about his direct involvement in the Occupy Wall Street protests. Smiley: This protest on Wall Street is gaining some steam and starting to get a lot of national media attention... finally. West: Democratic awakening is taking place. It's the U.S. Fall responding to the Arab Spring.
		Occupy Wall Street website Listen to last week’s original conversation about Occupy Wall Street

There is little information about OWS Protests in our mainstream non-online media here in KS. You have to go to the web to find information. It just shows how our media organizations have been reined in by higher corporate powers. Good work will always rise to the top!

Ps: “Both of your voices, “were” and “are” still being heard, very loud and clear!” … (smile) …

And because of these efforts, in which, you’ve both have made, (Wall Street) now, is having to face many “upsetting individuals”, who are “voicing their opinions” with “Great Passion to Protest” against the “selfish greed” on: (Wall Street), that’s has been going on for so many years! …

Again, I’m encouraged to know the “outcome” of this historical event! … And just as you both had mentioned, these (heart cries) are now spreading across into other cities as well! …“What a profound effect, this has become!” …

I can't believe that many working-class-poor people are against the Wall Street protesters.  Many feel it is unpatriotic to protest.  People have not changed much since the 1950's and 60's.  They're still hung up on this patriotic BULL--they have no sense of reason--they're like dumb ox.  Sometimes I feel like people in this country deserve any amount of hell we get for being so damned ignorant.  I work in a public sector job with people who condemn the clients we serve , these employees blame the economic woes on the clients who get medicaid, or food stamps or monthly cash allowances.  Most of these clients are people who couldn't get a job if they tried like hell to:  they're under/uneducated, they have no degrees/no skilled training/many have undiagnosed mental/they are victims of abuse, etc.  Furthermore, THERE AREN'T ANY JOBS AVAILABLE!  Even if they got a minimum wage job they would still need help or be homeless because minimum wage can't cover a month's rent!!!  And even if you are not making babies you can't take care of it is still a struggle to make it, I know because I don't have any dependents, I have a good paying job yet once the rent, car note, car insurance is paid there is barely enough for much else.  These expenses are uncontrollable expenses--budget or no budget I'm screwed after I pay for the bare necessities.  So, how much harder it must be for people with less pay and dependents to boot. People have no control over the cost of living. 

Its sickening that the main coworker of mine that does the most complaining has 3 sources of income (that we know of) as well as properties that he inherited in addition to his salaried position at the agency.  He could be retired and chillin' at his Florida property instead he is occupying a well-paid position that someone in need of a job could use.  He blames people on welfare, people collecting unemployment and black people who bought houses that according to him they knew they could not afford--these are the people responsible for the economic crisis according to him.  There are two other vocal critics, one hispanic one black who express all the time that our clients should go get a job, yet they both got their job (public sector/supposedly open-competetive mind you) through political connections.  Meanwhile the same politician that placed them in their jobs is collecting a pension for his current position which he is also collecing a salary for--and its legal--and its happening in every county in New Jersey and I just read that in Sacramento California they're experiencing this same corrupt practice of politicians and their appointees double- dipping.  BUT POOR AND WORKING POOR PEOPLE GET ALL THE BLAME FOR THE ECONOMIC WOES???  I hope to see the day when all the smug SOB's lose everything and find themselves in the same boat with everybody else.  It's time we suffered equally, hell, I want to see their arrogant asses jumping off of balconies--BRING ON A DEPRESSION!

The unemployment rate in the urban black communities across America has been above 10% forever.  We've

been ripped off and shook down in every way.  High taxes, insurance, food prices, you name it.  Where have all the conscious white people occupying Wallstreet been all of these years???  You don't see any of them until they get a little taste of what black suffer in general.  What?  Now I'm supposed to run to Wallstreet with a sign?

Just tell them..."As long as I owe you, you will never be broke."

Bri'on,

Good question; maybe, you get a good answer in return!
