Fill the Vacuum

I was sitting at my estate this morning lamenting on the plight of the Poor. Listening to the television in another room and reading Yahoo for more good news of the day. Reading and listening utilizes two of my senses simultaneously, allowing double input in the cranium.

I often find myself wondering what the Poor are doing today. There are over 50 million who aren't at work. I realized at that moment they're probably listening to the television in another room and reading Yahoo. In search of good news of the day. Humph.

Now there's a short circle. I remember back in the day when Americans went about the daily task of climbing the ladder of success. Build a better mousetrap has always been the hallmark of American Prosperity. Stuck in irritating traffic snarls in fear of being late. Then somebody sold the ladder to China. My job was not the first to go. The first were American Manufacturing jobs eliminated in a more efficient technology. The remaining jobs were sent overseas to exploit foreign workers and absent environmental standards. The Construction Business has undergone faster ways to build with less manpower also. The one thing you couldn't do is export construction jobs overseas. It really didn't make any difference who made the money or how in America. American workers would build from the wealth of the GDP. Then along came George W Bush Covert Immigration and suddenly my job was gone in 22 million free ranging criminal aliens homesteading America. I'm not bitter. The industry is gone and I'll do something else. The fact it was all illegal belongs to Bush43 and his legacy.

It's important to note: it doesn't make any difference what job you have in America. The economic creep will get your job too. College Education or not, Unencumbered Capitalism is going to knock on you door as well. People such as Teachers, Fireman and Police who thought they were secure from the economic ax are now watching their workers slip into the ranks of the 50 million. The problem is always attached to whatever industry occupies the bottom rung on the ladder. The greedy are needy and your job will be led to slaughter for taking to much pie.

Obama answers with borrowing against future taxes to keep Federal Workers on the job. If we let these people slip away then government begins to lose it's political grip on the nation. Nothing against Obama but, this is not a solution to anything. Obama is simply bringing dignity to the funeral. He should be at the hospital saving the patient.

Back to today. I heard a sound bite coming from the television in the other room. Bubba Clinton was appearing on the Late Show with David Letterman. Too funny. Whenever I see or hear Bubba Clinton the first thing to pop into my mind is this thought: How did Bubba really break his friggin leg at bachelor Greg Normans house in Florida? A sitting President at a private party with a broken leg and the mystery never solved? This is the stuff of legends. Where's that twerp Ken Star when you need answers.

If you read Mitoosense you know I like Bubba. Not enough to watch Letterman but, I still like Bubba. The conversation turned to those who Occupy Wall Street and why. Bubba said something that really stuck. He said " they really need to be for something, If your just against something, then somebody will come along and fill the vacuum". I thought about this and agree. The Democrats, Republicans and Unions are all over this vacuum trying to fill the free void nurtured by others. This subtle statement from Bubba is a warning to protesters to organize your voice or fade into obscurity with the T-Party. Bears shit in the woods, the Pope is Catholic and Wall Street is full of thieves and politicians. We all agree. Occupy Wall Street needs a goal to win. If you don't have a goal then winning is impossible. Without a goal they really are nothing more than a nuisance.
