Would'nt it be something to see if we could get the city taxpayers to show up at a council meeting to speak out against taxes etc. like this group is doing?   Perhaps the battered taxpayers could take a page from these protesters to show how it's done.   Regardless of their protest subject matter, at least they are out there speaking, unlike the majority of taxpayers in Sch'dy.   There truly is strength in numbers and who knows, as a group they just might get somewhere (the taxpayers).

The TeaBaggers are Conservatives.  They tell you that they are a bi partisan grass roots group, but look at who sponsors them, look at who pays the bills, look at who owns them.  Without FoxSnooze and the Koch brothers, the Tea Party would be a few dozen actual patriots meeting in someones garage.

The TeaParty agenda is in most cases the opposite of Occupy Wall Street.


The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

TAKING BACK THE AMERICAN DREAM. Americans are suffering the worst economic crisis and the most serious disparity between rich and poor since the 1930s. Yet today we’re witnessing a triumph of a strong conservative movement that has mobilized many frustrated citizens to act against their own interests. As Tea Party–fueled Republican extremism pervades our politics and policy in Washington, we are compelled to stop and ask: What happened that has led to the conservatives’ dominance in the political debate in our country at a time of crisis? What happened to the political left? I joined NPR’s Talk of The Nation host Neal Conan and professor Michael Kazin this week to explain that there are, in fact, progressives, left thinkers and activists working in this country not only to reset the economic narrative but also out there organizing, demonstrating for jobs, for a more just country. These efforts, however, have received shamefully little media attention. If you’ve been reading the mainstream media, you would have heard woefully little about The American Dream Movement, led by Van Jones of Green For All, MoveOn.org, the Campaign for America’s Future, The Center for Community Change and dozens of other progressive and labor organizations. But these groups are mobilizing energy for widespread progressive organizing. As we report, on October 3, activists from across the country will gather in Washington at the Take Back The American Dream Conference to push for an agenda that has broad support and represents the real priorities of America’s middle class: jobs, growth, investment in infrastructure and education, tax reform and the rebuilding of our basic social contract and safety net that once gave a path to prosperity for millions of Americans. And while the the Occupy Wall Street protests in downtown Manhattan are finally receiving deserved attention—in those first days, too many in the media dismissed the protests as exhibitionist or fringe. If you want to learn more about the young people of the Occupy Wall Street movement—and why this occupation may contain that spark to grow into a transformative movement—read Nathan Schneider’s “Occupy Wall Street: FAQ.”

they will be bought too.....straight through and APP.....it will appear that they won when in all actuality the truth will get obfucated again/more through numbers that will 'resemble' wealth......but, what they dont get is THERE WILL BE A SELECT
FEW TELLING YOU YOUR WORTH......

it's about VIRTUAL VALUE.... what is happening is the 'rich' know this and are wondering what their virtual value will be once paper money disappears.......ever wonder what your's will be?

it will be what ever the F'EN system decides is your credit/worth score.....get it? based on:

1. your education
2. your job
3. your compliance with your 'healthcare provider' in all aspects ie: immunizations, psa tests, cholesterol number, A1c etc etc
4. your punctuality in bill payment/tax payment (if you still have control over your account/units/buttons or what ever)

and these folks will be the 'rating system'?????


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

BTW....no one pays my bills....I'm not a party and I could care less about the Bible/Koran/Chinese fortune cookies or the wind of ying-yang.....

no one says ANYONE has to stay in the 'system'.......barter WILL ALWAYS HAPPEN.....money and trade changes on a WHIM and it always will....if it looks that good to have servants/cars/insurance
house/taxes/flat screen tvs etc etc....then F'EN go get it....if it's too hard for anyone then go hunting and fishing.......

THE SYSTEM IS NOT A GOD....unless we make it one....envy is just as bad as greed....life isn't 'fair' and it sucks....
