Global warming protests are so 2008… In 2011 it’s Occupy Wall Street

Since the wheels are rapidly falling off the global warming / climate change hoax, where are you going to find your average liberal malcontent?

Occupying Wall Street.

There list of grievances against corporations include:

  • They have perpetuated inequality and discrimination in the workplace based on age, the color of one’s skin, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation.
  • They have poisoned the food supply through negligence, and undermined the farming system through monopolization.
  • They have profited off of the torture, confinement, and cruel treatment of countless nonhuman animals, and actively hide these practices.
  • They have continuously sought to strip employees of the right to negotiate for better pay and safer working conditions.
  • They have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is itself a human right.
  • They have consistently outsourced labor and used that outsourcing as leverage to cut workers’ healthcare and pay.
  • They have influenced the courts to achieve the same rights as people, with none of the culpability or responsibility.
  • They have spent millions of dollars on legal teams that look for ways to get them out of contracts in regards to health insurance.
  • They have sold our privacy as a commodity.
  • They have used the military and police force to prevent freedom of the press.
  • They have deliberately declined to recall faulty products endangering lives in pursuit of profit.
  • They determine economic policy, despite the catastrophic failures their policies have produced and continue to produce.

I find it interesting that our misguided liberals are protesting things that, for the most part, liberal policies created and liberals in government have supported.

When you look at areas that have seen the most exorbitant inflation, higher education and health care, you find government intervention within those markets.

So, when you see liberals protesting that they are “being held hostage by student loans ” it is amazing to see them going after “big business.”

Who’s fault is it that they take out a $60K student loan? Is it Wall Street’s fault?

And to round out the Occupy Wall Street list of grievances, here are a couple more:

  • They continue to block alternate forms of energy to keep us dependent on oil.
  • They have purposely covered up oil spills, accidents, faulty bookkeeping, and inactive ingredients in pursuit of profit.

I guess they needed to throw a bone to the die hard tree huggers.
