Rush is reporting that the OWS protestors are experiencing thefts in their encampments.
Only makes sense, these people think they should be able to take the wealth of people richer than them, so if someone has a nice I-Pad and you don't, just take it. It is your right.
McDonalds has more money than you, so it is ok to steal from them. The utility is richer than the encampment so we should be able to steal their electricity.

Yes- the class warfare tatic is a dangerous one to get involved with. For a hippe who only owns a skateboard, a pair of bongos and a bong- almost anybody is going to be a target.
And that's an example of how dangerous it is to advocate class warfare. First it's the billionaires we need to tax more, and then millionaires or anyone who appears to be wealthy- and then it's you and me.
I have a friend who is a F-16 fighter pilot- they had a little saying in Afganastan;
The average indian man sees the big house on the hill and says "I would like to be the man who owns a house like that some day" .....
and the average pakistani man sees the big house on the hill and says "I would like to kill the man who owns that house some day".
That's the difference between knowing that the good things in life need to be earned- and blaming everyone else for your own condition instead of doing somthing to improve your own station in life.
You can bet that those who post on this board- even the poorest among us- we look very rich to a majority of the humans on earth today. We are the billionaire's to them- we are the 1%. Every one of us should be glad that the world is not fair- because equality is a major step down from where we are.
If class warfare gets it's way- all of us are the targets- and they won't care if your a bleeding heart or not.
The bible says that covetousness is a deadly sin for a reason. Obama is advocating covetousness with his class warfare propaganda.
Exodus 20:17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
Yes, compared to most of the world, we are the 1%'s. Should we tax all Americans at 50% and send the money to Africa and other poor regions of the world?

Class warfare has been waged on the middle and lower classes for years. Now they finally gripe about it, and you suddenly become aware of "class warfare"? Get a grip...
Don't you just love the way liars figure? Obama adds roughly the same dollar amount to the deficit in less than one term that Bush did in 2 terms and the liars use figures to try and get you to believe that Obama has only added half the debt that Bush did. The liars must be hoping that the changes they have instituted in education have resulted in you being so dumb that you will believe them instead of your own lying eyes.
Bush / Paulsen were the leading thiefs in the executive branch followed by Obama / Geithner. They both ripped us off and yet we sit and argue over which thief was better.
The debt went from 5.7 B under Bush to 10.3 B (two terms) and to 14.6 B under Obama's first term. Much of the debt attributed to Obama was two unfunded wars left over from
Bush. These are the facts regardless of the false percentages. They are both working for the robber barons.
