53. If that's what you get out of the OP...

...you need a great big dose of common sense and a short course in government and international relations.

First, the OP is by a US group that is making a comparison to other nations.

About Occupy* Posters


If you use an Occupy* Poster on the street, please send photos! Send them to owsposters@gmail.com or upload them to Flickr with the tag occupydesign.

ABOUT

Born of solidarity with the Occupy Movement’s grievances during its earliest September 2011 days, the straightforward, high-contrast designs and impact-filled visual messages of Occupy* Posters have helped change national conversations. Occupy* Posters has contributed hundreds of well-received visual messages to activists, numerous of which have become iconic images speaking to recent times.

Dozens of Occupy* Posters have gone insanely viral on the Internet, some with millions of shares. Some have also been featured on the BBC, Current TV, the Huffington Post, Upworthy, MoveOn.org, DailyKos, and more. Some even appear in brick-and-mortar museums, and one is in a major college textbook.

You may have also seen an Occupy* Posters work held high on a street near you.

Frequent interesting visitors to this site include the United States Senate and House of Representatives, major U.S. and international interest groups and organizations, as well as major Wall Street entities such as Dow Jones, Barclay’s, and Bank of America.



Second is that the OP lays out what our country is doing. OUR country; not the Republican's country, not the Democrats country - OUR country. IF you don't see that the 99% are ALLOWING this to happen by being sucked into irrelevant debates on issues that are secondary to our economic well being, then your CPU is clocking very slowly.

If you have any sense of shame, it should be fully activated by looking back at your behavior.
