Punish Wall Street!  Re-elect Wall Street's Man, Barack Obama, in 2012!

  

To OccupyWallStreeters, there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING inconsistent with repealing the 16th amendment, which gives the Federal government the ability to directly tax income,  and passing the Buffett Rule to insure income tax fairness.

Without the 16th amendment, there would be no need for the Buffett Rule.  In fact, it would be unconstitutional.

From Matt Labash's "Eyewitness to History! Hanging out with Spooky the anarchist, Amy the gender-bender, Sid the Nazi, and other occupiers of Wall Street":

 

"After clearing the men’s room line of 15 or so at The People’s McDonald’s, I spy a black man in monochrome leather garb. He wears a burgundy leather jacket, burgundy leather pants, a burgundy leather sweater, and a burgundy belt and shoes. He makes me nostalgic, reminding me of the interior of a 1975 Chrysler Cordoba. It would seem a sin not to compliment him on his finery. So I do. 

“Why, thank you,” he says appreciatively. “It’s my style, you know.” His name is David Lawrence Harvey, and after assuring me that he’s not one of the OWS crowd, he reveals his true business: passing out fliers advertising the Private Eyes Gentleman’s Club on West 45th, with an admission pass that would entitle me not only to see naked ladies who are less fussy about their gender-identification than my friend Amy is, but also to enjoy a complimentary buffet luncheon. 

Harvey doesn’t quite understand what’s going on across the street. In theory, he’s sympathetic to their aims, whatever they are. “But it looks like a party to me,” he says. “I’m not judging anybody by the way they dress,” he says, pointing to his own attire. “But all I see is young, unemployed people.” It’s fine for them to dream. “I dream, I love to dream—on my way to work,” he says. Harvey, too, has other ambitions besides just passing out fliers to gentlemen’s clubs. He plays music and tells me to check out his YouTube page. He even wrote a love song for Michelle Obama. 

What he doesn’t understand, however, is all the anger and class resentment OWSers have against people who have more than they do. “Everybody can’t be a millionaire,” says Harvey. “I understand [some people] have all that wealth. But why you gonna waste your life worryin’ about that? Complain all you want—but on your way to work.”
