These OWS protests are funded by the progresive left . Does anyone know how a bunch of out of work losers can afford to rent a building and pay for all that goes into that ? FOLLOW THE MONEY, and find the truth.

You're an uninformed moron, Mazza. I'm part of the movement AND I am an art director for a magazine and work 60 hours a week. Stop watching stupid sh*t like Fox News and WAKE UP.

A zero budget is not even necessary for this tremendous problem. Even with the 3.14 budget, this…Read More scenario exists. The classes will be in the thirties next year in the secondary schools. I heard the classes will have at least 35 kids in them next year because of all of the teacher excessing. It would be even worse if there is a zero budget, but the problem already exists.
