You guys really think the cold weather will end the protests? Doesn’t anyone remember the Wisconsin protest last year? Personally I think Scott Walker’s days are numbered and the only reason he hasn’t been recalled yet is because he hadn’t been in office a full year (as required by state law). Those protests were in F’in Wisconsin in February and still the turn out was pretty good. I think the thing that finally ended them was the recall elections. OWS numbers might go down, but it’s amazing how much free time you have when you don’t have a job.
Also class warfare has been going on for the last 30 years by the folks at the top who put short term profits over long term stability. Outsourcing production has destroyed the working class and in the end cannibalized the demand for their products. Henry Ford paid workers $5 a day and sold an affordable car, as a result his workers purchased the cars they produced and his company was successful.
“Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.” John Steinbeck
