"OCCUPY THIS NOISE COMRADE!"

WHAT HAS THE OLD OCCUPY MOVEMENT DONE FOR US?

GRANTED THAT MOVEMENT STILL EXISTS, AND IS QUIETLY DOING ALL SORTS OF NEAT STUFF.

'BUT I'M TALKING "BIG PICTURE" HERE.


WHAT DID THE MASS MOVEMENT ERA OF THAT BUNCH DO.


"THEY PUT INCOME DISPARITY ON THE NATIONAL TABLE."

INCOME DISPARITY WHICH IS A POLITE WAY OF SAYING POVERTY....


'YOU' REMEMBER THAT...


AFTER ALL MOST OF YOU ARE LIVING AT THE VERY BORDER OF IT.

GOOD OLD FASHIONED GRIM VILE FILTHY SOUL CRUSHING POVERTY.

THIS HAS BEEN OUT OF THE NATIONAL DISCUSSION FOR NEAR 50 YEARS.


NOT SINCE THE "GREAT SOCIETY" WAS DELIBERATELY STRANGLED TO DEATH DURING, AND AFTER THE VIETNAM WAR ERA.


SO NOW THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE FIRST TIME IN GENERATIONS IS SAYING THE "P" WORD.

EVEN REPUBLICANS SOME OF THE SLIGHTLY MORE SANE OF THEM HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THE VAST INDEED GROSS INCOME DISPARITY.

2OO INDIVIDUALS IN THIS COUNTRY HAVE 'MORE' PERSONAL WEALTH THAT HALF OF THE REST OF THIS NATION.

YOU HEAR THAT?

200 PERSONS ARE RICHER THAN 150,000,000, OTHER CITIZEN OF OUR REPUBLIC.

I GUESS EVEN REPUBLICANS...A FEW OF THEM...TAKE PAUSE AT THIS ASTOUNDING REALITY.

SO THANKS OCCUPY FOLKS FOR CONTRIBUTING THIS MOST VALUABLE  SERVICE TO YOUR COUNTRY! 

(BTW FROM ME PERSONALLY.)

(...THANKS FOR THE SOUP BREAD, AND COMPANY WHEN I WAS CRAZY, AND BROKE. AS YOU SWELL FOLKS SUGGESTED AT THE TIME I HAVE INDEED PASSED IT ON.)
