If these protesters had their way, they would enlist the govt. powers that be to force their will onto the private sector. Note to the Left: Wall Street is not a govt. entity. If you really want a revolution, go to the White House and tell those tax sucking elitist delinquents to get the hell off your lawn.

Marvel comics was anything but childish. "Little Lulu," you might have a case. As Comic Book Guy might say, "Worst comics analysis ever."

It was something I never took too seriously.

And trying to compare a man who entered politics in 1947 to a man who entered the NFL in 2005 is like comparing apples to uranium. At best.

I've never seen the network on cable or satellite, and never would have heard of Current TV other than having read about it on NRB. Do you need a HAM radio to get the broadcast? Citizens' Band? Walkie-talkie? Semaphore?

Scary. The man started out somewhat reasonable, and ended up so childishly naive that most anyone could conclude that intelligent discussion wasn't possible. I guess I should thank you, David, for wasting your time so we wouldn't have to waste ours.

They keep trying to construct some politically correct narrative that will somehow satisfy the Left, and there's no way to do it. The uncomfortable truth which libs refuse to confront is that if all of this had happened while a Republican was in office, we'd be seeing round-the-clock condemnation of every aspect of the operation. If Obama really had some guts he would have released this simple statement: "We came, we saw, we pulled the trigger." End of discussion.

His so called French "wealthy arrogant aristocrats" were French lackeys supporting the govt status quo. The revolutionaries in France were fighting against this oppressive govt. system just as America had fought theirs. Leave it to a Leftist to favor the French model over the American one, even if he can't get either one right.

But I admit that there's a part of me that is fed up to the max with a namby-pamby GOP seeking good press rather than good leadership. It's enough to cause one to upset the apple cart just to see which way the apples roll.

Just because a Chicago Cubs fan roots for his team doesn't mean they''re good enough to win the pennant. But to the point:: Your selective numbers are deceptively incomplete. Your 2 million figure (closer to 3 million, I think) presumably refers to permanent federal employees who work exclusively for the Executive branch. The GAO will tell you that there are more on the order of 4 million federal employees drawing a paycheck. And that figure doesn't even include the Post Office, BTW. And I find it hard to believe that there are 7.5 million private contractors drawing taxpayer money on a 1099 form. That doesn't smell right. But no matter, govt. work is govt. work regardless of how one reports that income to the IRS. It's on the taxpayers dime in any case. Moreover, anyone with a calculator and online access can compile US Census numbers that will show that over 20 million employees receive salaries exclusively from tax dollars. Yes, we're talking state, local, various govt. agencies, and so forth. But if that isn't govt. work, I don't know what is.

The number of govt. employees the U.S. employs (above and beyond police, and road pavers) is staggeringly obscene. It's literally in the tens of millions and that doesn't include the military. I don't necessarily recommend this, but you can purchase last year's budget from the Govt. Printing Office. It'll cost you about fifty bucks. Even worse, it's not as interesting as "Atlas Shrugged" and much longer. It comes in a half a dozen volumes and is several thousand pages long. Anyone who could manage to wade their way through this ponderous catalog of bureaucratic excess couldn't possibly conclude we need to be taxed more.

A monkey could do it. It only takes two very simple steps: 1) Find out where the money is; 2) Take it.
