Occupy Wall Street Movement is not even 1 Percent from Planck's Constant

Ronald Reagan often said, "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'" Other great lies of our times are: 'the check is in the mail', 'I'll call you in the morning.', 'I didn't have sexual relations with that woman', and 'Islam is a religion.'

To this list allow me to add one of the greatest lies of this century: the Occupy movement claims that, 'We are the 99%.'

The OWS people obviously do not represent the military, schoolchildren ¹, storekeepers ², commuters ³, taxpayers, those with jobs, property owners, and all successful people. 99%? They do not even represent 1% of this country.

These misguided idiots and thugs haven't a clue that the government is the problem not the solution.

I heard one protestor declare what the movement really wants, he said, "We want a better world."

What a noble sentiment - that explains in concrete terms what they're all about.

Mike's America, Occupy Protesters Terrify School Children in the Name of Their Cause
In the middle of thousands of protestors yelling and chanting — some kicking and screaming – CBS 2’s Emily Smith found little school kids trying to get to class. Nervous parents led them through the barriers on Wall Street. The NYPD helped funnel the children, anything to ease their fears while some protestors chanted “follow those kids!”
“These guys are terrorists, yelling at little kids,” one father said.

“For them it’s horrible. They’re afraid of all the crowds. We’re not even able to get through. They’re just, he’s … very afraid now,” a mother added.

One protester followed a father and his little daughter all the way down the block.

Metro, Business owner reports Occupy Wall Street threats
A small group of business owners rallied in front of City Hall last night, decrying Occupy Wall Street protesters for threatening their livelihoods and their employees.
“They dropped our business down by 30 percent,” complained Panini & Co. owner Angelo Tzortzatos, one of the four business owners. He told Metro he had to close his bathroom for repairs after protesters broke his sink. Then, he said, protesters began threatening his employees when they couldn’t use the restroom.

“They’re coming in and grabbing [employees] and saying ‘Watch your back,’” Tzortzatos said. “I don’t feel safe.”
