Class warfare

Feb 27, 2012 08:58

Just wanted to spread awareness about the latest clash between the 1% and the 99%, involving a wealthy banker leaving a 1% tip on a $133 bill; worse, he scrawled "GET A REAL JOB" on the receipt. Read more about it here.

Class warfare has risen to the forefront of American politics after the Occupy protests rose to prominence across major cities around the world. I suppose we can thank this banker for bringing it back into the news again amidst the crisis in Syria and Eurozone bailout of Greece. Doesn't the banker know, Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus? (Never tickle a sleeping dragon, motto of Hogwarts.)

What is your opinion about the Occupy movements? Do you think they should stop protesting and go get jobs? Would you join them? I'm somewhere in between - I'm socially liberal and fiscally conservative and I always have international consequences in mind. All I believe is that there is most definitely a storm brooding on the horizon.
