Occupy Wall Street is picking up steam with now being its 24th day in the lime light. So what't the relationship if any to jobs and employment? Oh make no mistake about it there is a relationship between jobs and Occupy Wall Street. In fact, that seems to be the basis of the movement and protests. Why are so many people out of work, standing in free soup lines and begging for bread while Wall Street not only got bailed out of mess created by Wall Street but not a single person to day has been indicted for anything. Nothing, nada, zilch!

Government funding unpopular programs for the elite is nothing new. On the other hand, financing a Wall Street bailout, on taxpayers dollars, while the unemployment rate stays above 9%, millions continue to be out of work and no one goes to jail is well - bad politics. At least, bring someone in on charges. Make the public feel good - something, but to not even arrest any of the cronies that made this economic situation a reality is not cool. American's are tough and ok with weathering a storms that is felt across the board but when 99% of the worker bees are doing without while 1% are "living la vida loca," that just isn't going to fly. If you don't believe that look around you and ask why Occupy Wall Street is spreading like a wildfire. Then you'll see the missing link --- jobs.

If you don't have a job and have been out of work for a while any job is welcomed. On the other hand manufacturing an economic crisis to condition workers for lower wages sounds a little cronyism. Is that really the answer? It seems like a no brainer but that's what the GOP candidates are sparring about nowadays. Perry touts that he has created over 2 million jobs in Texas under his watch. Conversely, Ron Paul shot back at Perry during the GOP debate to say that over 700,000 of those jobs were state and local government jobs. It was super funny (ROFL) when Ron Paul stated that he didn't want to offend the Governor for fear Perry might raise his taxes - again. Moreover, on more than one occasion it has been noted that a large number of the jobs created under Perry's watch have been low wage jobs. Basically low wage service level jobs at Carl's Jr. and so on.

So is this where we're going? Use the national deficit as an excuse to push more and more Americans into poverty. This is what seems to be the case. On one end, there's the push to end unemployment insurance. On the other end, the private sector has created little to no jobs, with the exception of the great job Perry is doing in Texas stimulating job grown via Carl's Jr. Woo-hoo, let's give the Governor a big cuban cigar for that one. Go Perry Go! Are low wage jobs the answer? Looks like Perry thinks so...maybe Carl's Jr has a few more job openings. Go get yours before Perry gives that job away to a long term unemployed person begging to get back to work.
