Occupiers Will Fight In The Streets

Cornel West said on MSNBC, "I think the problem is that the poor children, keep in mind it's 42% of poor children who live at or near poverty, it's 25% in poverty. Our audience needs to keep that in mind."

"Poor children need more than just a $1,000 for their family, they need a war against poverty to make it a major priority in the way which we have a priority for Afghanistan, and a priority to bail out banks, and a priority to defend corporate interests when it comes to environmental issues," West said about more and new entitlements for the poor.

Professor West didn't just call for another war on poverty (the first war was fought by Lyndon B. Johnson), but went on to say that the push for more entitlements "is going to be fought in the streets." West showered the Occupy movement with praise for making people aware of the issue.

We all know how well Johnson's "Great Society" worked.  That war on poverty has seen more people on government subsides.  Huge national debt paying for the programs that haven't worked.  Second, third, and fourth generations of "families" that have never worked, taxpayers have supported.  An explosion of single mothers.

"It's a major question of priorities here. That's why the Occupy movement is so important because some of this is going to be fought in the streets. Civil disobedience does make a difference," he said.

"Corporate greed now is an issue everybody has got to talk about. Wealth inequality. Everybody must talk about it because of the Occupy movement," Mr. West concluded.

"I think brother West, I think he does make a good point," Goldie Taylor said.

This is typical class warfare from the left.  Their programs have failed.  Their only chance of winning in 2012 is class warfare and riots in the street.  They want to finish bankrupting America.

All the left knows is entitlements.  Entitlements  should be called what they are, buying votes.  Everyone has an opportunity to succeed in America.  The left doesn't want them to succeed though.
