“Tourists come here and think Vegas is fantasy land; they don’t think of us as a working-class city, but we are. They just think we’re here to clean up their vomit after they leave.” — Sannette Gutierrez to a reporter covering yesterday’s “Occupy Las Vegas” march on the Strip.

That looked like a pretty big turnout for a political event in Las Vegas. It is interesting how the Occupy movement has caught on all over the country.
Occupy anywhere you want !! Hawaii, Guam, Saipan, Alaska…
It don’t matter, nothing is going to change and we are going down the tubes.. UNLESS THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT DROP IN THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE .
Nothing else matters.
I think Vegas is already down the tubes but there is life after that.
The number one problem this country has is a lack of good paying jobs. Consider this from The Wall Street Journal from April of 2011: “US multinational companies increased employment overseas by 2.4 million people in the 2000’s, even as they cut their U.S. workforces by 2.9 million. Overall, big-name firms employed 21.1 million people in the U.S. in 2009, and 10.3 million abroad.”
The CEO’s (who are all millionaires) running these companies realize this and are in business to make as much money as they can so they send more jobs overseas because of cheaper labor costs. Hopefully the “Occupy Wall Street” movement will make these companies think twice about sending more jobs overseas and keep more jobs here in America.
