Unions Planning March On Wall Street

Either the writer at the Huffington Post is clueless or the unions are. My vote is both of them are.

Let's start with the obvious. The Tea Party is not so much anti-Wall Street as it is anti big government. I haven't seen a lot tea partiers holding signs or making speeches excoriating Wall Street. That has all been done by the unions. Like when they gave bus tours of AIG executives homes in an attempt to intimidate them.

Next, the unions might want to check who it is their members work for. It may surprise them to find out that a lot of those companies are publicly traded on Wall Street. You know, companies like GM and Chrysler.

While on the subject of GM, until recently GM had it's own financial arm known as GMAC, which sort of engaged in the same sort of practices they say they are heading to New York to protest and draw attention too.

But y'all go on with your silly ol' selves. If you think demonizing the very people and organizations who supply the jobs in this country is a winning strategy then go ahead and make New Yorkers angry with more traffic gridlock and expenditure of their tax dollars to pay for the security and clean-up of your little march, which will no doubt leave a path of destruction in it's wake, because that is just the way your side rolls.

This is a really dumb idea, but what do you expect from organizations who are attempting to divert attention from how they have become destructive to this country and are little more then organized crime bosses with labels sewn on their shirts.
