I'm trying to understand their thinking process but I'm completely lost.

Hint: If the average American in the private sector had higher wages, they wouldn't need welfare!.

Have you been out marching with the Boston occupiers looking to get a mandatory $20 per hour wage for everyone? It sure sounds like you may have been if you weren't in New York City.

Yep, I do think that you are involved in the Occupiers movement. At least, you are talking their very words. Are you one of the planners or just one of the folks?

No way in hell am I marching with the Occupy Wall Street movement. They are all made up of communists and anarchists scum. I have more important matters to attend to like my job.

But THEY have to have more money to carry out their plans. It gets worse and worse and the Dems are making all that noise about the Senate not being able to vote on the new Jobs Bill when they can't get enough Dems to go along with the RINOs to pass it. Those people know that if they manage to vote for that abomination they will not be returned to office next fall. Well, some of them are beginning to understand it all.
