Wall Street Protests....

I have been debating rather or not to talk about Occupy Wall Street… I am still undecided if I should give this any of my attention or should I focus on other things that may or may not be of more importance.

First of all since it has become such a hot topic and many people have taken up this cause, I guess a little discussion would be in order.

It has been a little over a month since this group has started demonstrating on Wall Street, and they still do not have a any demands or focus on what they are trying to accomplish. The consensus is that there is too much power at the top and this power is leading the country. As I see this movement it is still to unfocused, the group appears to be a strong group, but not yet develop into a single focused group and without this focus is a mob.

When someone with some power does eventually organize this group, their message will become stronger. However until this time, I would have to say that most of their energy is not focused upon the real issues that we are facing. Yes there have been some good points made, most people have some good points, but will this event have any affect on the Wall Street.

We need businesses and protesting the companies whose products we need and use probably will not end well. We have big companies, plus we have big Unions, both are in the business of gaining power, and both use a large group of people to gain this power, one through stockholders and the other upon the backs of workers. Both have began with great intentions, a collective is stronger than the individual, but both have outgrown their usefulness.

Well enough with the ranting, the United States is on the verge of change, good or bad I do not know, but change nonetheless. The Federal Government has completely outgrown its intended purpose, much like the large corporation, and has robbed the States of their power. Forcing the States to accept the rules in order to receive funds, that initially was generated by the States themselves. Well that is an entire topic in it’s own. Until next time, Have Fun…

anonymous - October 26th, 2011 Great Blog Paul, and I totally agree with you, except that this group has too many concerns to organize into one cause. I figure once the money runs out so will they.
