I am far from a republican, but sometimes a different view point can give you that new perspective.
I was watching the news the other night and they flashed to a clip of Newt Gingrich. I always thought that he was a pompous ass who utilized his power and position inappropriately. Having spent the last week hearing nothing about child sex scandals and cover ups the Occupy Movement seemed to have taken a back seat. Yesterday a $50 million renovation to city hall was scheduled to start. The project had to be delayed because the occupiers refused to move off of City Hall plaza. Those construction workers didn't get paid (their families mouths were not fed). I have since been wondering why they didn't fence in the plaza and then arrest all of those within the fence for trespassing... problem solved. Newt was right, these people who are so busy living in tents and eating free food should thank the 1% that they are protesting- for they are the ones who donated the park lands that they occupy, donate to the food banks, and pay the taxes that are used to remove trash and provide added security to the exact areas that they are occupying. It may be a more beneficial use of their time to occupy a job instead.
