"Occupy Wall Street" makes me feel proud to hate Big Brother
Crickets
Malcontent Masses
The ninety-nine percent solution
Is a proletarian revolution
To express our discontent
With the selfish one percent
Occupation by the masses
Combines all social classes
So each prole's pet gripe
Can be sewn on one stripe
Hence, Wall Street's situation
May spread across the nation
The resistance continues at Liberty Square and Nationwide!

COMPLETING THE REVOLUTION
Americans are conditioned to see our present form of government as a
representative democracy. We're almost incapable of understanding
that:
We live in a plutocracy
The United States Constitution was deliberately constructed so that
the nation is ruled by the wealthy
The Two American Revolutions
We've been taught to believe that there was only one American
Revolution, a struggle to throw off the tyrannies of Great Britain.
And relative to that revolution, we're conditioned to believe that the
heroes were revolutionary patriots such as George Washington,
Alexander Hamilton, Sam Adams, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, James
Otis, the Sons of Liberty, and the Committees of Correspondence.
But in reality there were two American Revolutions:
The revolt against British oppression by Americans
The revolt against wealthy American merchants and financiers by the
common people of America
Cont'd
The first American Revolution was completed with the end of the
Revolutionary War in 1781. The second American Revolution is seldom if
ever taught in our schools. Because it would make clear just what kind
of a country this is: a plutocracy--the rule of the wealthy. And it's
this second American Revolution which we must now complete. Only a few
of its battles have been won and much work remains in our efforts to
rid ourselves of the ideology and practice of plutocracy
