What Can Stop the One Percent?

Naomi Klein: There's only one thing that can block the wish list of the one percent, and it's a very big thing: the rest of us.

If there is one thing I know, it is that the one percent loves a crisis. When people are panicked and desperate and no one seems to know what to do, that is the ideal time to push through their wish list of pro-corporate policies: privatizing education and social security, slashing public services, getting rid of the last constraints on corporate power. Amidst the economic crisis, this is happening the world over.

And there is only one thing that can block this tactic, and fortunately, it’s a very big thing: the 99 percent. And that 99 percent is taking to the streets from Madison to Madrid to say “No. We will not pay for your crisis.”

Occupy Wall Street: The Class War & The Nationalist Solution

Actress Roseanne Barr expressed the sentiment of a lof of Americans when she problaimed on Russia Today's Max Keiser show that if she were President "part of my platform is, of course, the guilty must be punished and that we no logner let our children see their guilty leaders getting away with murder. I do say that I am in favor of the return of the guillotine and that is for the worst of the the worst of the guilty. I first would allow the guilty bankers to pay, you know, the abbility to pay back anything over $100 Million of personal wealth because I believe in a maximum wage of $100 million. And if they are unable to live on that amount than they should, you know, go to the re-education camps and if that doesn't help, than being beheaded."

Can "Occupy Wall Street" become a movement?

"The media might want to portray it as a different culture but it's not a different culture, we're all working people, and we're all not the wealthiest people in this country that are really getting a break right now," he said, adding: "There's a pervasive sense of abandonment of working families and working people in this country, these protests are all about that, that's why organized labor has joined in, because that voice is our voice."

Occupy Wall Street Is A "Populist" Movement (The Tea Party Is Not)

News coverage of Occupy Wall Street is starting to pick up.

Although the media attention, and specifically the television interest, lags far behind what the emerging Tea Party enjoyed during its early days, the ongoing protests entrenched in New York City's Financial District show new signs of growth as they enter their third week. Mass arrests over the weekend, along with the fact the protests have entered a semi-permanent stage in lower Manhattan, has likely prompted reporters and producers to give the progressive event a second look, after mostly dismissing the happening last month.

However, when covering Occupy Wall Street, the press still refuses to accurately label the protests as what they are: a distinctly populist uprising.

Study: Corporations Laid-Off Workers Following Tax Holiday

A new report is warning against a proposed tax holiday on overseas profits that corporate proponents say will boost the economy. According to the Institute for Policy Studies, 10 major corporations fired workers right after enjoying a tax holiday in 2004-2005. Overall, 58 corporations cut more than 600,000 jobs after collectively saving some $64 billion in taxes. Overseas profits are currently taxed at the 35 percent corporate rate; a proposed measure in the Republican-controlled House would reduce that to a one-time rate of just over 5 percent.
