Who are the Fat Cats, Americans or Government

A good argument to wage when referring to the Occupiers, that they are literally targeting the wrong people.

The Democrats are playing class warfare. Pitting Americans against Americans.

Sad. 

Stoking the fires of the down and out folks who have reached the end of their rope, they have seised the moment to fan the flames in their quest to bring about radical change to America, and take away our form of economic freedoms, that has created THE most powerful and wealthiest nation on earth (or at least it was).

But the truth lies really within the federal government fat-cat wallets.

Lets take a look. 

Federal employees at several financial regulatory agencies - including the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) - are earning six-figure salaries and taking home bonuses up to $5,000, according to federal records obtained by Judicial Watch. 

At least 228 such regulators make $225,000 a year.

In comparison, members of Congress make $174,000 a year; the Speaker of the House makes $223,500; and the majority and minority leaders pull in $193,400 a year.


The records, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), show the number of employees at five of the six major financial regulatory agencies.
In addition to the CFPB, the personnel documents come from Wall Street regulatory agencies including the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Treasury Department, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). 


The forms reveal that hundreds of regulators earn in excess of $225,000 per year, not counting bonus income awarded by some of the agencies.

• The CFPB - created by the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial regulation law - has hired a dozen employees at more than $225,000 per year, Judicial Watch reported on Tuesday. The massive new financial regulator has also hired a college student intern, paying her $42,036 per year, despite being listed as a "student trainee" in federal records.
• The CFTC has 26 employees earning at least $225,000 per year. That agency blocked out most of the data on the forms it released to Judicial Watch. It did not block out the amounts it paid in bonuses, however, revealing that it paid between $400 and $5,000 in cash bonuses to employees making $225,000 per year or more. The CFTC would not release the exact salaries of the employees to whom it gave bonuses but all of the records pertained to employees making $225,000 per year or more. 
• The OCC reported that it had 85 employees making $225,000 or more, but blacked-out the names of those employees as well as the reasons for paying them such high salaries. Typically, the agencies reported both the names of its highly paid employees and the legal authority that justified the high salaries.
• The Treasury Department reported only two high-salaried employees, choosing also to withhold their names.  
• The SEC had the most high-salaried employees, reporting that they paid 103 employees salaries of $225,000 per year or more.    In all, the financial agencies reported a total of 228 employees making $225,000 or more per year, not including bonuses.

The only financial regulator that refused to respond to the FOIA request filed by Judicial Watch was the Federal Reserve, which claimed that it did not use normal government personnel records. The Fed also did not provide Judicial Watch with the personnel records it said it did use. 


The documents, known as SF-50 forms, are government employment records that show how much employees earn in annual salary.


These new salary records are bound to cause controversy.  No wonder Washington, D.C.  is the wealthiest area of the country," said Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch.  "And the secrecy surrounding basic salary information of public employees shows an arrogance of power and contempt for transparency in an administration that promised the very opposite."   


How can you argue with that info, Occupiers?

Move-on Takes Out Ad to Rip One Of Their Own

The multibillionaire venture capitalist George Soros funded Move-on.org created and aired this ad last Friday, ripping one of their own, Mayor Jean Quan, calling her actions to break up the Occupy Oakland an attempt to take away their right to peaceful assembly.


Watch:


The right to "PEACEFUL ASSEMBLY"?

According to this young lady from the Oakland demonstration, it was far from being a "peaceful" assemble.

People of this movement, I have a warning for you.

You use the 1st amendment to essentially call for social justice in American, and calling for Government to intercede in to Capitalism to bring it down to institute "change" to a "fairer" system. But this is what happens when you call for a revolution. Socialists minded authority will take the constitutional rights away to answer your demand, but it will be on a much larger scale.

Justify This- Atlanta Tea Party Vs. Occupy Atlanta

As presented to the followers of The Tea Party Patriots Facebook Page.

Talk about sequestering freedom of speech and the right to peaceably assemble, by stonewalling. This is a solid case for infrigment.


Double standard being applied here!!!


We should NEVER tolerate this from an "Elected Official"!!!




ATLANTA TEA PARTY STATEMENT REGARDING CITY OF ATLANTA AND OCCUPY ATLANTA

The Atlanta Tea Party has inquired on several occasions about securing city venues like Woodruff Park to hold rallies for conservative activists. Because of the the fees involved, and extensive bureaucratic red tape regarding the permit process, we decided to hold past events at the State Capitol instead. We were also told by Capitol Police we could not have signs on poles or sticks, or not allowed to even pass out little flags to wave, because they were held up by sticks. We complied, as we have always followed the letter of the law and conducted ourselves with honor of our City, State, and Country.

Occupy Atlanta has had control of Woodruff Park for the past weeks with no permit, no fees, the use of poles and sticks to hold some signs and their tents, and a disregard for public health with the conditions they are living in at the Park. Had Tea Party activists conducted themselves like Occupy protesters, they would have been arrested immediately, but Mayor Kasim Reed rewarded their disregard for the law with an Executive Order allowing them to stay, stating that he sympathizes with them. The Mayor has chosen to grant special rights and privileges regarding free speech based on which group is in line with his own political ideology. This action by Mayor Reed has set a precedent that has a profound and chilling effect on the First Amendment rights of not only conservative activists, but of all citizens.

The Atlanta Tea Party is planning a rally in the spring and we will seek to use a City venue. If equal rights are not shown and if we are denied, or forced to go through an extensive permit process and pay any fees whatsoever, we will file a discrimination law suit against the City of Atlanta.

An elected official is put in place, regardless of who voted for him/her, to represent all and not just a SELECT few.

If Mayor Reed can issue an executive order to forgive and forget the law to a selective few and circumvent his oath to SUPPORT & DEFEND the constitution, then he is not worthy of holding ANY public office.

If you're as pissed off as I am, here is his direct contact information and LET'R RIP!

Kasim Reed Mayor City of Atlanta 55 Trinity Avenue Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Tel:  404.330.6100 Fax: 404.658.6893 mayorreed@atlantaga.gov

Bill Ayers Conducts Occupy Chicago-Teach-In

One of the leaders from the now defunct 1960's Weather Underground Organization this past week led a "teach-in" with the 'Occupy Shitcago' protesters.
Bill Ayers, one of the mastermind of the bombing of the US Capital in 1971 lead this teach- in.


Ayers and the WUO background consist of the 1969 "Days of Rage", a public demonstration in Chicago timed to coincide with the trial of the Chicago Seven that lead to riots.
Does that "Day of Rage" sound familiar? It should. The Occupy Wall Street and the protest around the globe (Day of Rage) are one in the same and they are trying to rebirth the cause, to create chaos throughout the Capitalist societies.


WUO called for movements throughout the US to ultimately achieve "the destruction of US imperialism and achieve a classless world: world communism."
It's no wonder 35% of these protesters are calling for the destruction of Capitalism and instituting Communism.....


In his teach-in, Ayars detailed the tactics and history of the Civil Rights and social justice movement, drawing analogies to the group before him. "You created power where there was none" He proclaimed.
Not only did he do this teach-in in Chicago, but presented the same in Milwaukee the week before.


The Chicago Reader reported this as a group of 40 who took shelter across the street from Grant park where the local OWS is causing some trouble for the city.
And as the Reader put it;  "the "teach-in" had mercifully moved to a sheltered walkway across the street, beside the Chicago Board of Trade. And the group abandoned the echoing "people's mic," allowing Ayers to speak naturally to the crowd of 40, who sat in rapture, registering their approval by lifting silent fingers." 

Oh brother, the numbnut zombies are coming out of the woodwork.

Is this a coincidence that Obama, (who claimed that he does not have a close association with Ayers) has publicly sided with these Marxist/Anarchist, all the while Ayers has done two teach-in's to the same group?


Probably, as Obama just hired a longtime Wall Street lobbyist as his new senior campaign adviser!
