You're a mean one, Mr. Gingrich

I think after this weekend, and the ridiculous rant of Newt Gingrich, it would be very easy to think of all the Occupy places as off-shoots of Who-ville, and OWS itself could be thought of as Occupy Whoville Square. And yes, that would make Newt that mean green ogre taking the treats from the kids. For over 30 years, the wealth inequality in this country has swung the power in this country to a small group of people.Wall Street firms lead this country to the edge of financial ruin, get rescued from closure by the government ( ie. The people of the United States), and what do they do? They foreclose on homes they have no legal right to foreclose on since they don't own the actual deeds, stop loaning money to companies that want to expand, and give their managers millions of dollars in bonuses. So why aren't they the Grinch in this tale? Well, as anyone who watched TV this weekend, Newt has taken 10 steps right and found a place he's comfortable being in. To those protesting the gross unfairness that Wall Street is perpetuating, Newt says to take a bath and get a job! He states that protesters are on land they didn't pay for. Newt, public land is land that is given to city for the use by its citizens. That land is for all the people, not just those that the 1% say can voice their opinion. But that's right, you're the Grinch who is taking the rights away from those in Whoville. And who is helping you? All the idiots who applauded your line in Iowa this weekend. You're a mean one, Mr. Gingrich, you and all your ilk.
