Glenn Beck calls on the feds to order Marines to end Occupy Wall Street (video)
OK, I know Glenn Beck is nuts, but millions of people listen to him… unfortunately.
On his radio show today, Beck called the Occupy Wall Street protesters dangerous revolutionaries who want to take down the US government. He asked the federal government to shut down the Occupy demonstrations by sending in the Marines and called on capitalists and Democrats not to trust the protesters or work with them.
From the Huffington Post…
Speaking on his radio show Monday, Beck made his already-crystal-clear disdain for the protests, which have spread across the U.S., even more plain. He took a slightly surprising turn, though, in warning establishment Democrats like Nancy Pelosi (who has voiced her support for the movement) as well as any rich backers of the protests not to trust anyone in Occupy Wall Street…
“Capitalists, if you think that you can play footsies with these people, you’re wrong. They will come for you and drag you into the streets and kill you…they’re Marxist radicals…these guys are worse than Robespierre from the French Revolution…they’ll kill everybody.”
A video link with Beck’s full rant is here.

The Living Economy event was very informative; we had a great time hob-nobbing. My husband Jim is a small business owner and a member of Local First Arizona. I have owned two small businesses in the past– Powers/Queen Associates and Wind Dancer Design. We support Local First Arizona and buying/investing locally. We believe that supporting local small businesses with low-interest loans through a public/private partnership between a public bank and community banks and credit unions is the sustainable route to improving our local economy. Trickle down economics doesn’t work; it’s time for new ideas.

We often hear that corporations need migrant workers because Americans “don’t want to do these jobs.” When I hear this statement, I picture farm workers picking vegetables. Recently, I toured two dairies and an animal feed packing plant in Pinal County. The photo above from the Zinke Dairy shows a giant cow milking carousel. Nine migrant workers milk 4000 cows three times a day at this dairy. Legislators watched the two men pictured here– working at a brisk pace– bend over and pick up, lift, and attach large electronic suction cups to the cows as they ride the carousel around the giant facility. This level of automation is the wave of the future for industrial jobs.

Sure take down wall street, take down the rich (who are supporting these nut jobs) and what will be left? Nothing but a poor broken society wondering what the hell happened to the American Dream! These people are a joke and a disgrace.

This is not about “taking down the rich”–this is about asking them to pay their fair share of taxes. This is about a fair playing field for U.S. based companies-no more tax breaks for taking jobs overseas. Without a healthy middle class and working class the U.S. will be weakened. Who do you think has paid for the bulk of public education, police, fire, roads, infrastructure and a standing military? Not the rich–they will cry that they pay enormous taxes, but most of the money has come from the working and middle class, from the 99%.

@ fortheloveofcountry. YOUR tax money (700BILLION and rising) has gone to bail out corporations that have acted illegally and immorally. They ignore the law, and get them changed in their favor whenever possible. Our income tax money is spent on paying the INTEREST on the federal debt. The US’s biggest product is no longer manufacturing but it is creating DEBT. Both parties are equally to blame for letting this situation get out of control and pandering to special interest.
