This is going to be fun to watch play out ...

OMG! Not Seymour! Next it could be Tampico or Jonesville or Hayden. The end is at hand!

Awesome, I love how one lady IS the 99%. Either Seymour must eithyer be really small or she must be really big....

Yep...the comments from the lady are interesting, as were some of the comments on the link (which seem to have dissapeared for some reason). On the one I hand I think many of us agree with her...we want our children and grandchildren to have the same things (or better) in life than we had.

On the other hand she seems to have missed the point quite a bit. I don't think that 99% of people are seeing the fruits of their labor being gobble up by big corporate greed, and are losing their homes as a result.

And I'm pretty sure there are many like me in Seymour that haven't gotten to where weare because we've happened to have the fortune of knowing a few local politicians.

Could it be because I worked hard to graduate from H.S. at the top of my class, *** Laude from Engineering School and Business school? That seems to have worked well for a lot of people I know locally. Even those folks I work with that didn't go to college seem to have found a way to make a good honest living (for serveral of the "big" businesses that have operations locally) and aren't complaining that a CEO is slowly milking them for all they are worth.


I was pleased to see one remark by a commenter to the story mentioned that < 50% are actually paying the taxes that support the remaining 50%. I think at least one of the other people sounding off was surprised to see that stat, and may have learned as a result.


Now, if we can just ensure we don't get that "Liberal" City Councilman elected...

Hmm...so manythings come to mind, but I'll just say we are THE "Smalltown."


Fortunately I'm south of town, so unless this spreads to Dudleytown, I think I can bump down the alert level just a bit.

"We" must mean the other protesters she ate!

Apparently the 99% are unable to afford a sufficiently large piece of cardboard for their signage...

Boston, MA December 16, 1773

Sam Adams: "Hey guys; we're going to a protest down on the dock tonight, maybe even dump some cargo. Want to come along and help?"

Guys: "Are you crazy? Protesting is stupid. If you have that much energy you should just get an extra job to pay the tea tax. Don't be such a troublemaker! Do you want to be laughed at and mocked by us normal people?"

Sam Adams: "Sorry, don't know what I was thinking."

They've been camped out in Bloomington for the last couple of weeks. Looks like a hobo camp downtown.

That's just normal.

ROFLMAO..... +1

Good for her for doing something she believes in, but, it seems like if you have enough free time to stand on the street all day, you could at least come up with a better sign. Maybe throw some glitter on there, or better yet, some cool color changing LEDs.

So...the camp has been expanded then? Because that's what it already looked like, I think.

I think after his ouster from Congress, he joined, once again, the 1% he liked to malign as fast as possible.
