The 1% confronts the Occupy Wall Street

by

Tim has been putting up videos of Peter Schieff (Wall Street entrepreneur, radio host, and columnist) going down to the Occupy Wall Street encampment and trying to engagement them (and sometimes, with mixed results) here and here.

Here’s a longer version of the 3 hours Peter spent at OWS, courtesy of ReasonTV (a tad over 18 minutes of goodness):

As I am wont to say, context is everything. Thus I find it both amusing (and sad) that all the while the OWS folks are complaining about the 1% and how GREEDY they such that they won’t redistribute their wealth voluntarily so Government should take it from them, many of the OWSers refuse to see their own hypocrisy as they complain that the homeless are sponging off of them.  To the homeless, some of these OWSers ARE the Greedy 1% with their iPhones and Macs and new camping equipment and food delivered from the chic restaurants.

This, from RightWingNews, should be shown to everyone of them – who the REAL 99% truly are:

    Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom and how the Government is taking that away. As an evangelical Christian and Conservative with small "L" libertarian leanings, my fight is with Progressives forcing a collectivized, secular humanistic future upon us. As a TEA Party activist, citizen journalist, and pundit!, my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture.
