Forum Post: The reason for being in NYC and not Washington DC

I saw on CNN, today, a teamster who didn't understand why were people occupying Wall St. and not Washington DC. Well, if a dog's owner tells it to bite you, do you blame the dog or the owner? The dog is only following it's master's commands. Washington DC is owned by Wall Street. So, I would tell the teamster that we are here because we wish to speak with the owner - not the dog. We shall deal with the dog when we are done with it's master.

Exactly my point! And you will have little trouble with the dog once its master stops teaching it to attack.

A very good point. You are wonderfully perceptive. And, I would add that the Republican party are nothing more than a bunch of mean-spirited, hateful and ignorant little yappy dogs sent to Washington, by the wealthy, to guard their money.
