Thoughts about the 'Occupy' movement in the U.S.

It's interesting how this 'grass roots' uprising is being perceived by our government.

Obviously in a state of 'denial', they observe the protesters in every major city as a nuisance, a movement with no leadership and no focus not to be taken seriously.

How wrong they are.

What we're witnessing is the beginning of an uproar that could mushroom into an event of major historical proportions in this country.  A literal revolution.

What is the message of the 'occupy movement'?  Listen up, folks.  It's clear.

Frustration

That one percent of the people in the U.S. control 46% of all the money.

Frustration

That our very existence is controlled by corporate 'special interests' who buy politicians.

Frustration

That we are no longer a 'government of the people'.

Anger

Over all of the injustices 'little people' suffer at the hands of the banks and the wealthy.

Anger

At the injustice within the housing industry by large financial institutions, who are responsible for the current state of affairs in the U.S. housing industry.

Anger

Over the job situation in the U.S. largely because of large U.S. corporations who export jobs overseas to cut costs, avoid taxes and increase profits.

Anger

Over the fact that many large U.S. corporations pay little or no income tax while their CEO's are paid millions of dollars in salary and profit incentives.

Prediction:

This movement, small and seemingly powerless at the present time is not going to go away any time soon.  This movement will continue to grow, find focus, and attract leaders who will inspire its followers to follow through until all of the injustices suffered by the citizens of this country will be eliminated from the landscape of this great nation.
