If the protesters had melted their jewelry in a campfire and crafted a calf made of solid gold, this would have been more impressive. As it is, it seems like a desperate plea for attention now that most of their Occupy brethren across the country have packed up and put away the tents. Based on the video evidence, the calf appears to be of cardboard and golden foil paper. Awesome.
Something’s just off with the symbolism of the general gesture, too: In Scripture, the fashioners of the calf were the idolators. That makes sense — given how obsessed Occupiers are with income equality, it seems fair to say they make money and material goods the measure of life — but the protesters don’t seem to grasp that they’re indicting themselves.
Still, I’m happy to give this a headline because, when they’re not perpetrating appalling violence, Occupiers are usually good for a laugh.
In this case, the laugh comes at the very end of the video, when a protester sincerely intones that mandatory taxes are, er, voluntary because anybody who doesn’t like the U.S. tax code can leave the country. By that logic, the only requirement for a free society is a government that allows its citizens to move to other countries. By the way, Mr. Occupier, you don’t like the current tax code. Why don’t you take your own advice and move to Switzerland or something?

I would like to present them with a (ersatz) golden outhouse since their preferred policies are throwing us into the cr... you know what.
Right. And Obama, Kerry, the Clinton’s, Boxer, Pelosi,betc are given a free pass.

Did they melt their tooth fillings or something?
I guess they don’t have anything that would be worthy to give their Billion Dollar Man, Barry Soetoro. This “occupy” mob is a nothing but a bunch of brainless frauds.
I hope Boehner reciprocated by giving then a “Golden Pasteur Patty”.
The Occupoop Movement seems to know a lot about “droppings”, or as we used to say in the old country, “They are full of crap and like to publicly prove it.”
Spoken like a true Time magazine Person of the Year. Zero I.Q.
This applies. Can’t remember who said it, but it goes something like:
“It is said that the rich think too much about money, but it is the poor who can think of nothing else.”
I’d hand them a copy of the Ten Commandments with “you shall not steal” and “you shall not covet” highlighted.
Somebody need to confront these mislead morons about what real faith is. They DO NOT represent Christ, but do resemble Marx, the cause of millions to die.
Hahaha! That is indeed funny they don’t know what their talking about so they yet again hysterically indite himself in ignorance.
The poor fools(useful idiots to Marxist) can’t see past their own greed for money.(hence desire to take someone elses). Much less their own beaten estimation of a man’s worth as the sum of his possessions(IE wealth) a concept that is at the very essence of the class warfare they preach.
