Mitt Romney's 1% view of how Wall Street connects to Main Street is as far from the visible division put in place to bar mortal citizens from voicing complaints to better protected corporate ones!
Active trading at the NYSE 4pm Friday, October 7, 2011 off limits to the public!
Tonight on Rachel Maddow's show there was coverage of the GoP Primary. They played a clip of Mitt Romney commenting on the Occupy Wall Street Protest, but it is quoted here from the Buenos Aires Herald.
"All the streets are connected. Wall Street is connected to Main Street," Romney said, adding that protesters are seeking "scapegoats to attack."
"Don't attack a whole class of Americans, whether they're rich or poor, white or black. This isn't the time for divisiveness."\
Come down to Wall Street near the end of the trading day Mr. Romney and see with your own eyes what the 99% already know. There's a divide between the insiders and the whole rest of the world that's bigger than the defensive forces protecting everything but the Embassy in Occupied Baghdad.
Open your flippin eyes Mr. Romney and realize that the suffering and sacrifice of the 99% of the public who are corralled like cattle around the Hallowed Ground of the NYSE's oasis, taken by virtue of their own insecurity without any public discussion.
When the MSM talking heads and political spin chatter refers to the angry mobs who have the gall to threaten Wall Street & trigger an epic level of armed defense, know the "mob" Occupying Liberty Park in this picture are the dangerous threat they are referring to.

As for Romney's appeal that this isn't a time for divisions, it's beyond irony, downright laughable that the one rift that moves him to a spirit of unity is the divide between Wall Street and the 99% pockets that fund them.
Nevermind that Rovian Fox Hounds have done nothing but, paint all their opposition, as terrorist sympathizers and Anti-American, relentlessly and with a fervor since 9/11 became the gateway to War on Terror vs Omnibus Spending Bills.
The MSM has fueled divisions, right down to the circus over whether the President was even a citizen; rather than behave like truthful grown ups and dismiss nonsense to work at real problems.
Today there were sound bites from Eric Cantor railing against people adding conflict to our peaceful political dialogue, while operatives at the American Spectator took matters into their own hands, inciting violence in the Occupy Wall Street movement in Washington D.C.
Eric Cantor Condems Occupy Wall Street Protest ~ "This administration's failed policies have resulted in an assault on many of our nation's bedrock principles," he said. "If you read the newspapers today, I, for one, am increasingly concerned about the growing mobs occupying Wall Street and the other cities across the country. And believe it or not, some in this town, have actually condoned the pitting of Americans against Americans. But you sent us here to fight for you and all Americans."
Who would have guessed the GoP strategy would be can't we all join hands and get along, but actions speak louder than words and springing to the defense of Wall Street is apparently the incentive it takes for Congress to crave a healing unity for the Nation.
You can't fool all of the people all of the time, especially when the truth is slapping all but the 1% across the face. Our losses and liabilities are growing just like the palacial expanse the NYSE has laid claim to in New York's public space.
Our children hungry and homeless, our Veterans on food stamps and sleeping in the streets, our savings swept away in a frenzy of derrivative betting as record bankrupcy and foreclosures take homes and security they give families and communities. What happens to each Even saving the home is a dubious value when the houses are worth far less than their mortgages.
The Occupied Wall Street Journal is a shining example of Free Market Capitalism and entrepreneurial spirit serving the 99% and what a threat that is for the group selling Wall Street to us.
The message of Occupy Wall Street will resonate because the 99% see the truth of our corrupted political system all around us. But in that is the power for the revolutionary change the entire planet has been crying for and her people ready to deliver. The Tea Party Movement got one thing right, revolutionary change is upon us, but it isn't going to be watching the other shoe drop for a Koch Brothers corporate coup, but for the masses who have the tools and passion to lead the way to a better future that measures progress with social costs and benefits as paramount in the equation.
