Just had an epiphany…

A quick history lesson:

About one hundred years ago, income inequality in the US was just as bad as it is now. The super rich (top 2%) owned 60% of the Nation’s wealth, while the bottom 60% owned 5% of the wealth. With a extremely small middle class. So what did the 1910’s version of the “99%” do? 

They rose HELL! In California, Union workers damaged nonunion bridges and work sites. On the East coast, Union workers held strikes for days, and in 1914, thousands gathered in New York to morn the deaths of 3 anarchist that had blown themselves up attempting to bomb John D. Rockefeller’s popery (The country’s richest man).

This is way beyond the little encampments and peaceful protests that we are seeing all over the world now against the 1%. 

But all we can talk about today is adding a few extra precentage points on Multimillionaires taxes? Have we pussyed out?

I don’t mean to encourage violence here. I’m saying we let the media take hold of our brains, and we are too compassionate to what the mainstream media has to say of us revolutionaries. 

Imagine today, if three Occupiers got together to try to bomb Ben Bernanke (who has openly admitted to creating a “one world currency”)… Oh imagine the headlines! - “TERRORIST BOMB BERNANKE” - “OCCUBOMBERS” - “OCCUPIERS TURN TO TERRORIST TACTICS” - And my god, we would fucking believe it! Wake up people! 

Eat the rich! Burn the rich! Don’t let any rich pig bullshit some justification on why he should have millions of dollars in his pocket for himself. Fuck that. 

This story ends with president William Howard Taft, creating a commission to reach out to Union’s wants and needs. He also pushed forward a inheritance tax on the children of the wealthy, so kids won’t inherit a fortune from daddy for doing nothing. However, after a century of ups and downs, we are back where we started. 

Are we going to rise hell 2012?
