Reply To: Occupy Wall Street – Are you with it?

[Anonymous]

We have a demand for maintaining and building new infrastructure, keeping cops, teachers, firemen, sanitation workers, coaches, dance instructors, social workers, and snowplow operators… on the job. These are the folks that keep us safe, educate and keep our kids busy and keep our neighborhoods clean. These are services that I appreciate, but am getting less of in my neck of the woods.

 

It won’t be long before the protesters get a little older and more conservative looking. They’ll look more like what some people call “regular” Americans. I wouldn’t be surprised if a decent number of the OWSers are from the occupations above.

 

We have tons of demand. It’s just that the demands are being met less and less right before our eyes.

 

Besides it’s about more than just jobs. It’s about the things a good parent teaches a child about being fair and honest. And things I learned as a little cub scout about being square and obeying the law of the pack. What has happened to us? It’s all about taking and “holding on to mine” now.
