Why the Occupation should focus on Congress for direct action, example #6,748,392:
“People are upset and they’re justifiably frustrated. They’re out of work. The economy is not moving,” Cantor said. “Their sense of security for the future is not clear at all. People are afraid and I get it.”
But while refraining from using the term “mob” Cantor repeated his criticism of political leaders, indirectly aimed at Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats, who he maintained were using the protestors to encourage a divide between people and the financial sector.
“I don’t believe that our role is to inflame a division between different parts and sectors of American society.” (Emphasis mine)
God forbid Americans should be disaffected from their billionaires, right? Cantor’s party has been “inflaming divisions between different parts and sectors of American society” since at least 1964, and has done nothing else of late. Cantor decidedly does not “get it,” and won’t — not unless he is confronted by it, both in the halls of power and in the voting booths.
