re: #118 Charles

I’m getting more sympathetic to the demonstrations myself. I still don’t like some of the elements that are involved — especially the Ron Paul-influenced “End the Fed” idiocy, and the extreme lefties like ANSWER.

But unlike the Tea Parties, this really does seem to be a classic example of a true populist movement. The basic message is that the middle and lower classes are getting increasingly screwed over by an obscenely bloated upper class, and that’s a message that resonates.

Yeah. Have you seen the tumbler post with all the personal stories?
