I'm most definitely keeping an eye on this. It is symbolical for the "great divide" that has erupted to the main stream now that the classic confrontation between workers and those who "offer work" seems to have spread the USA in unprecedented (?) ways...

Losing my symphathy for the Tea Party ideology after finding out that they vote for the Patriot Act and keep Big Business on the pedestool (is this a word?) where the big fat capitalists of ancient times have already put it on. Sometimes and old things shows it best:

Here is an old dutch cartoon....



De Pryamide der Tyrannie - The Pyramid Of Tyranny
Het Kapitaal - The Capital (Money)

De Staatshoofden - The Heads Of State: Wij regeeren U - We Rule You
De Priesters - The Priests: Wij bidden voor U - We pray for you
Het Leger - The Army: Wij schieten op U - We Shoot At You
De Bourgeoisie - The Upper Class - Wij zwelgen voor U - We hedonize for you
De Arbeiders - The Workers - Wij werken voor U - We Work For You

Sums it up quite well, increasingly, as far as I can see....
