They’ve Got the Money Honey, We’ve Got the Time

The Powers That Be are clearly afraid of the power of the unwashed masses. So afraid that NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg is trying to chase the OWS demonstrators from Liberty Park on the pretext of “cleaning up the public space.”

Mr. Mayor Moneybags says the demonstrators are free to return once the park is sanitized, but not with their tents or sleeping bags. Or anything else that would enable them to become the permanent presence that they have vowed to be in their fight to restore fairness to a corrupt economic system.

Thankfully, the 99% are more astute than the Tea Party Nation, and aren’t buying the lies perpetuated by evildoers like Barack Obama, John Boehner, Wiliam Daley, Eric Cantor, Mitch McConnell, Grover Norquist, Tim Geithner, Bill Clinton, Clarence Thomas, Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke, Dick Cheney, Joe Lieberman, Sean Hannity, David Koch, Wolf Blitzer, Rupert Murdoch, Dianne Feinstein, Hillary Clinton, Robert Rubin, Jeffery Immelt, Darrell Issa, or Rahm Emmanuel.

(I omitted Michelle Bachmann, Herman Cain, Sarah Palin, Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum because they just don’t friggin’ matter.)

But the above-mentioned prevaricators and manipulators from both parties are  conspirators against us, you and me, the hard-working middle-class that’s just trying to hang onto a job, put a kid through college without lifelong indebtedness, meet a mortgage payment, save a little for retirement, and go out to eat once in awhile, if only for a $2 biscuits and gravy breakfast at our neighborhood Denny’s on a Saturday morning.

We once had big dreams and major aspirations. Now too many of us just feel lucky to know we’ll eat tomorrow and sleep in our bed for another night.

This is NOT the America I grew up in. So fellow travelers, please continue to Occupy Wall Street if you can physically be there, and support the movement financially if you can’t.

The 1% may have hoarded all the money, but you can’t hoard time. And time is something we have in abundance now that the bastards have outsourced our jobs.
