Clueless protestors

The "Occupy" protesters really don't know why they are there.  When interviewed, one woman complained that she can buy McDonalds cheaper than Broccoli.  I don't know where she is buying her broccoli, but she needs to try Wal-Mart.  last time I looked it was about a buck a pound.  Others said they are there because they don't like companies.  Many of them admitted to being socialists or anarchists.  Others just said they were there to support their friends and it was a good time.

Let's assume for a moment that all their wishes came true.  That every bank that wasn't a credit union closed it's doors today forever.  That all the major shopping chains closed.  Where would they get their Starbucks?  I guess clothing wouldn't really matter, because they wouldn't have a job to dress for.  They wouldn't need their Louie Vuitton bags to carry their wallets, because money would become obsolete.  There would be mass famine, because all of the grocery stores would be closed and we are going into winter, so no crops could be grown.  Even if you did grow crops, you couldn't get them to market, because the car manufacturers are a large corp, and they would be gone.  We would return to an agrarian society, so I hope they like digging in the dirt.  You would have to defend your own property, because the police would be disbanded.  And don't plan on running out to buy bullets, remember, those evil corporations are all gone now, so no stores.  Oh, and that welfare check from the government.. useless, money means nothing now because we have moved back to a barter system. 

I wonder if these people ever sit down and really think about what would happen if they win?  Do they really want to lose all of our modern day conveniences and move back to living like the Amish and Mennonites do?  Driving our buggies down the ever deteriorating roads?  Cooking by candle light?  I don't think they really do.  What I think they really want is someone to hand them a huge chunk of cash on a silver platter so they can continue sitting around their Starbucks, surfing the net for a new cause to join, and complaining that the world doesn't understand.  I have to say that I agree with Herman Cain, if you aren't employed and you're not wealthy, blame yourself.  The mainstream media says that statement will be the end of Cain.  I think they are wrong.  I think it will be a rallying cry.  It points to the heart of the problem. The elitist attitude of the liberal left who won't take a job that they consider is beneath them and want the world handed to them on a silver platter.  They are a spoiled child who needs a good spanking and then some strong parental guidance.  But that is just my opinion.  What's yours?
