Actually I did see him on Fox. Fox has given some air time to the "end the fed" contingent of the occupy movement. What you didn't see in most of that video is people were booing him and saying Ron Paul is not the answer. The guy had like 3 supporters there. The rest ignored him. Sorry Captain.
1968 all over again. Nothing fresh or progressive about this "American Autumn." Quite lame. They won't get the attention they want. So they'll resort to anarchy and disrespect for the rule of law and piss off a lot of people. In the end, it will fizzle out and be forgotten. A bunch of sheeple with signs, influenced by tired Marxists and Foreign propaganda. They all forget and ignore that America was founded on suspicion of government and protecting the freedom and prosperity of the individual --two ideas most of the World doesn't get and Marx ignored. If these young sheeple need inspiration, perhaps they should read the history books on America --things that took place long before their Marxist teachers were born. Perhaps they'll also realize ideas from abroad are not necessarily better.
Recommend people watching a 1994 Charlie Rose interview with the late James Goldsmith. Scary how he called the dangers of unfettered globalization (i.e. via free trade agreements), if you didn't think know the date of the video you could have been fooled he is talking about right now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PQrz8F0dBI
It seems the protesters include druggies and criminals. Lured by cheap drugs and free food, creepy thugs have infiltrated the crowd of protesters camped out in Zuccotti Park for Occupy Wall Street, The Post has learned. âI got warrants. Iâm running from the law,â boasted Dave, 24, a scrawny, unshaven miscreant in filthy clothes from Stamford, Conn. âIâm not even supposed to be here, but itâs as good a spot as any to hide.â Wanted for burglary, the drug-addled fugitive said some of his hard-partying pals clued him in that the protest was a good place to be fed, get wasted and crash. http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/it_nyc_lam_sterdam_bmE4vlV5aDUWhBRv9IbaiK#ixzz1aOMq9YK5
This is the effect of globalization. What these OWS people are protesting is the decimation of the American middle class. They just can't define it correctly. Ross Perot and this guy predicted it 20 years ago. http://desip.igc.org/gatt01.html http://desip.igc.org/gatt02.html "You must remember that one of the characteristics of developing countries is that a small handful of people controls the, overwhelming majority of the nation's resources. It is these people who own most of their nation's industrial, commercial and financial enterprises and who assemble the cheap labour which is used to manufacture products for the developed world. Thus, it is the poor in the rich countries who will subsidize the rich in the poor countries. This will have a serious impact on the social cohesion of nations. " " The losers will, of course, be those people who become unemployed as a result of production being moved to low-cost areas. There will also be those who lose their jobs because their employers do not move offshore and are not able to compete with cheap imported products. Finally, there will be those whose earning capacity is reduced following the shift in the sharing of value-added away from labor. The winners will be those who can benefit from an almost inexhaustible supply of very cheap labor. They will be the companies who move their production offshore to low-cost areas, the companies who can pay lower salaries at home; and those who have capital to invest where labour is cheapest, and who as a result will receive larger dividends. But they will be like the winners of a poker game on the Titanic. The wounds inflicted on their societies will be too deep, and brutal consequences could follow. "
Actually the middle class was destroyed by the Fed through inflation as well as enduring a majority of the tax burden in this country. The poor and the rich pay no taxes, the middle class does. A dollar in 1913 is worth .05 today due to our monetary policies. That's where your middle class is.
