By BELLE MARKS,
Why am I not surprised that Rep. Michael Grimm has denigrated the Occupy Wall Street people?
Rep. Grimm does not care about the people he was elected to serve. Rep. Grimm has not introduced or co-sponsored any bills to help the economy or the environment.
Sure, there were problems at OWS but they were caused by a few. The majority of the demonstrators understand the disparity of how wealth in this country is distributed. Most people understand that the rich do not create jobs but hoard their money in off shore accounts.
After all, they have had 10 years to prove that their tax cuts help the economy. Hasn’t worked yet, never has, never will. Also, why is it that the police do not understand that they are part of the 99 percent?
How many mayors are laying off not only police officers, but firemen, teachers, and other city workers?
This mass layoff policy raises the unemployment rates and lowers demand for products. It is demand for products that moves the economy. You can’t buy any extras with what you get from unemployment.
It’s sad that a certain TV station can only find people to interview who are not representative of the majority of demonstrators. They are intelligent, well-educated people who know that the economy is in trouble and one way to cure it is to put more money into the treasury of the U.S. and not the Cayman Islands.
