It’s tear gas and bean bags in Oakland. Cops in Atlanta. And now, the time has come to OCCUPY BACON’S REBELLION!
We must do this to protest the indulgences and sense of entitlement that the libertarians who write here present. They are strict and pure capitalists — the worst kind. They must be protested and now that the Occupy movement is more popular than the Tea Baggers, the time is now.
Here is why we must do this:
- Too much verbiage is spent defending the “haves” and disparaging the “have nots.”
- There are too many peanut vendor comments talking about petty corruption by cab drivers when CEOs rake off millions.
- All government is seen as bad in an automatic and knee jerk fashion.
- Too many arguments start from a point that assumes we all live in upper middle class houses in Richmond’s West End or in Great Falls.
- Too much complaining about government spending and big deficits while shouting down any attempt to resolve the problems by RAISING taxes.
- Too much reliance on cuts, cuts, cuts.
- Too much love for the so-called “Creative Class.”
- We still don’t know who Groveton really is.
- The chief blogmaster drives a Mercedes that is periwinkle blue.
Enough is enough. We don’t have to take this. Occupy! Now!
