"Bill Gross: “Class Warfare By The 99%? Of Course, They’re Fighting Back After 30 Years Of Being Shot At”
Here's an important highlight near the bottom of the article.
"A new Washington Post poll shows that the majority of Republicans – 53% – support raising taxes on people making more than $250,000 a year:"
Don't stop! Others of us are doing our own actions to prepare and to synergize in other ways. That article alone highlights a massive change in mentality. And that's in the conservatives!!!!
It's having an effect!

"Something’s Happening Here By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN
When you see spontaneous social protests erupting from Tunisia to Tel Aviv to Wall Street, it’s clear that something is happening globally that needs defining. There are two unified theories out there that intrigue me. One says this is the start of “The Great Disruption.” The other says that this is all part of “The Big Shift.” You decide.

"Think Occupy Wall St. is a phase? You don't get it"
CNN) -- Like the spokesmen for Arab dictators feigning bewilderment over protesters' demands, mainstream television news reporters finally training their attention on the growing Occupy Wall Street protest movement seem determined to cast it as the random, silly blather of an ungrateful and lazy generation of weirdos. They couldn't be more wrong and, as time will tell, may eventually be forced to accept the inevitability of their own obsolescence.
Are they ready to articulate exactly what that problem is and how to address it? No, not yet. But neither are Congress or the president who, in thrall to corporate America and Wall Street, respectively, have consistently failed to engage in anything resembling a conversation as cogent as the many I witnessed as I strolled by Occupy Wall Street's many teach-ins this morning. There were young people teaching one another about, among other things, how the economy works, about the disconnection of investment banking from the economy of goods and services, the history of centralized interest-bearing currency, the creation and growth of the derivatives industry, and about the Obama administration deciding to settle with, rather than investigate and prosecute the investment banking industry for housing fraud."
Yep. You folks are definitely getting a lot more traction. Especially when they're doing this.

"It was just a week ago that Republicans tried to denigrate the Occupy Wall Street protesters as a “dangerous” “mob” who needed to “get a job” rather than “pit Americans against Americans.” Then they must have gotten the polling. So now, they’re changing their tune. Here’s Mitt Romney:
Don't lose the momentum!
When they start admitting to support it, that's when you know there's a ground swell happening.

Finally the end of reaganomics. We're finally waking up from the haze of the media and not liking what we're seeing. Thanks for the post.
No prob. I see trolls here trying to belittle the movement, but all it takes is a cold shower of some facts to see that the public is changing it's mind.
Actually, you guys are kinda late to the party. Most Conservatives have been complaining about the bail-outs, sketchy crony deals, and unemployment for years. But welcome aboard.
Well, I was a part of the Tea Party until they became the Fascist party. But hey, I'm either really early, or really late. Go figure.
'long as you're there. : )
