VIDEO: SEIU's Lerner: We Need to Create a Crisis for the "Super Rich" by "Escalating Activity"
MRCTV (Media Research Center TV) ^ | 9/20/2011 | Joe S.

SEIU union organizer Stephen Lerner spoke to a crowd of progressives in Minnesota and said they must "create a crisis for the super rich."

According to Lerner, this can be accomplished with 3 main steps. The first is to "focus on corporate power." Secondly, they must have a "commitment to escalating activity that creates a crisis for the other side." Finally, 'Non-violent' disobedience and direct action" is needed.

In the past, Lerner has stated his aspirations to destroy JP Morgan Chase and cause the collapse of the entire stock market and is reportedly one of the people behind the 'US Day of Rage: Occupy Wall Street' which occurred on September 17, 2011.

Non-violent? Isn't that a deescalation for SEIU?

I think the super rich should have a ‘day of rage’ for carrying almost all of the tax burden on their shoulders and cursed for not doing more. Their day of rage will be by ‘Going Galt’ and making a rational decision to take their disposable income, investment dollars, charity dollars, and possibly jobs to some other location. It’s been happening for years, Mr. Obama’s plans simply add momentum to it.

Super rich? I’d like to see these communists state the names of the “super rich”. Let’s see, super rich liberal Bill Gates. Or Steve Jobs. or Warren Buffet. Or the liberal/leftist Hollywood “super rich”. Maybe Rush Limbaugh? Who are the super rich?

For those of you who might have felt sorry, once or twice, that you "missed out" on the Sixties, cheer up: they're baaaaaack...!

Only this time, the music sucks.

If one or more of these thugs intrudes on my property and near my family, it would be easy for me to assume that is about to become a violent escalation, in which case it will be a crisis for their side. I do not tolerate physical threats, nor do I yield to intimidation. They had better be taking it as seriously as I will if they want to challenge me. I don't have a whole lot of patience for those bullies, nor do I wish to develop that patience.

I’d love to see the “progressives” burn down the mansions of the commie billionaires. Facebook and Google’s CEO’s should be first after Soros and Buffet.
