While I appreciate the Mayor’s thoughts and comments, I’m concerned that these brave souls are not allowed any shelter whatsoever from the elements while in Westlake Park. That is unacceptable.
Those who seem to believe that this is ‘the Left’ or some sort of anticapitalism effort, consider this: In 1995 the Banksters owned 19% of all assets as a percentage of GDP in the US, in 2002 they held 38%, in 2007 they held 58% and as of 2009 they hold 63% of all assets as a percentage of the US GDP. We’ve witnessed the greatest transfer of wealth in our history – and more importantly, it isn’t by accident. While I recognize even facts like that will have little impact on those who don’t want to face the reality that the US is corrupt at every level – facts are facts. It’s about time the 99% stood up to the corruption! I’m incredibly proud of every single individual who is participating! It gives me hope!
