I would like to mention first o...@heartsafecooking<br /><br />I would like to mention first of all that its not the 99%. Its not the 90% and it may not even be the 70%. In fact, its probably the lower 30%. Occupy Wall Street really is for everyone that doesn't have a job or can't make ends meet, and yet it comes down to what they're doing to help themselves. You do realize that the laws that the republicans are keeping from going through would make our lives more like socialism right? "Affordable" health care would mean that everyone pays for everybody else's health care and that means everyone will pay more. Even the people that don't need it. Our politicians do need to wake up, but Occupying some area and making the whole place look like a dump with tents everywhere covering public property is not the way to do it.Lifebloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09135583160911617212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3444828253239414712.post-57050070982833043272011-10-19T20:51:54.897-04:002011-10-19T20:51:54.897-04:00I just read Ross.

Our plants are cutting production and employees. People are without jobs and without medical coverage. Grocery prices are so high we struggle to eat a healthy meal each day. Why have we allowed this to go on for so long? We, the majority, the 99% need to stand up and begin to fight. Why do the republicans continue to stand for laws that help the rich become richer, the poor become poorer and the middle class to become extinct? Why do they fight so hard to keep laws from being passed that will bring jobs and affordable health insurance to the not so fortunate? Because it is what they believe in. It is what they stand for and what they have always stood for. Damn it people, wake up before it's too late. Make our government work for us instead of for themselves. We are the people. We are their employers and we need to get it right.heartsafecookinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05023380671920916377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3444828253239414712.post-28293390040007139332011-10-18T10:46:44.880-04:002011-10-18T10:46:44.880-04:00I found myself asking these same questions.
