Aside from the fact that there is NOTHING grassroots about an agenda spawned in Union HQ’s and the DNCs War Room, do they really, truly think that the current democrat agenda is the way to bring forth jobs?

So they think there’s enough money in taxing the “wealthy”—which, by the way, never happens with INCOME taxes—to create a huge new slew of jobs? Seriously? What, government jobs? Because it sure won’t work in private industry!

What about small businesses? Because that’s where all the real jobs come from. So they Leftists support the democratic agenda, saying this is all about jobs, while that same Obamian agenda imposes huge new unfunded mandates of “free” health care (coming out of small busnessmen’s pockets), strictly enforced carbon credit regimes sucking more money out of small businesses, and imposing brutal socialist policies giving more freebies out of the ever smaller profits of those same over taxed businesses?

And this is supposed to help create jobs?

What are they smoking ‘cause I want some, too!

Sometimes I wish they’d win completely just to see it all fall in on their heads.

What gave you that idea?!? ;') They want the power to do anything they want. It isn't about jobs, never has been about jobs, and never will be about jobs.

I wonder if the organizers will start mass producing signs that are less mass-produced looking.

I can just see the bullet point somewhere on their websites: “When organizing a protest, be sure not to outfit your members with identical t-shirts and signs. The goal is to appear spontaneous and grass roots, like the Tea Party.”

Yes, SC, that is so true!

Has there ever been a Leftist movement that really wasn’t just a masked agenda to take power?

What was that quote by CS Lewis?

Ah yes, here....

“Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
