Fox News Poll: Majority Says Obama's Economic Policies Are Good Ideas | ThinkProgress
This is the Occupy movement's complaint in a nut shell. Large majorities of the American people from every part of the political spectrum feel that Mr. Obama is actually trying to make progress with the single most important issue for the country, the economic recovery. This is a Fox News poll for goodness sake!
The incredible, growing gap between what's best for the country and what's best for the economic elites and their political lacky's is the single biggest source of the populist anger. As the GOP continually offers nonsensical "jobs" programs that actually put millions out of work, the protests continue to grow. The anger in the country is now pointed at the 1% who control the political process.
The fight against the actual, real class war being waged against the 99% has begun in earnest. The problem is that the 1% do indeed hold the reins of power and will not give them up under any circumstances. The bad news for them is that their are millions of us, and only a few of them. They will need to spend all their money to sustain their control. Will the Occupy movement force them to spend until it hurts? I certainly hope they try. It's time to let them know what a real "spending problem" is like.
More work to do...
