The Real Meaning Behind Occupy Wall Street, OWS Signs

Protests or rallies are nothing without the signs, and of course the people to carry them. With the occupy wall street occupiers out in full force, it is a free for all of crazy and outrageous statements amidst the trash, tents, and toplessness, here’s my version and reply.

Randomly selected and in no particular order, but for some perspective, keep this picture in mind.

Sign Quotes are Bold, my comments: italics,

“Money is Not Debt”….but if you owe it to somebody, IT IS!

“Schools, Not War”….So the Marxists can continue to ‘educate’.

“Due to recent budget cuts, the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off”….You mean your free ride is over.

“I Can’t Afford A Lobbyist“….Don’t worry, they’re already being provided for you, AFL-CIO, La Raza, SEIU, ACLU…

“This Space Intentionally Left Blank”….then how did you think of it?

“I Am Not Your ATM”….That’s obvious!

“Where’s Our Bailout?”….Your leaders Obama, Pelosi & Reid gave it to unions, public employee pensions, Solyndra, WALL STREET, General Moters, GE…..

“Arm The Homeless”….What, you like guns now?

“Abolish Capitalism”….This is a biggie, wait for it….then where is the government nanny state going to get their money to take care of you????

“Demand Jobs & Income for the workers and poor”….Creative, motivated people create jobs, it’s called Capitalism, did you ever work for a poor person? BTW, Government hinders this simple concept.

“UNION YES! Employee Free Choice Act”….Let’s see, mandatory dues, contributing to causes you may not support, six figure incomes for bosses, all working for GREEDY Corporations….we love unions!

“Save Me From Myself”….implied.

“The Police Are the Tools of the Rich”….NO, they are your brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, cousins, friends and fellow citizens, sworn to enforce the law, charged with KEEPING ORDER in a CIVIL society.

“If you’re against corporate greed, don’t buy their products”….Ahhh, the choice of what to buy or not to buy, the essence of Capitalism and a good economy.

“A job is a right, Capitalism doesn’t work”….so let’s get rid of capitalism and submit ourselves to mandatory labor ‘provided’ by the government.

“What’s in your wallet?”….Darn, that greedy Alec Baldwin!

And the last for now.

“We are the 99%”….the rest of us will roll over and die and you can just run the place, majority rules!….OR…. you’ve got your math skewed along with your panties, because there is a bunch of us out here that ARE NOT in your 99%!
