Former San Francisco Mayor and California Assembly Speaker Willie Brown:
If the Occupy people really want to make a point about the 1 percent, then lay off Oakland and go for the real money down in Silicon Valley.
The folks who work on the docks in Oakland or drive the trucks in and out of the port are all part of the 99 percent. They take our goods from all over the state and export them.
The only thing those cats down at Apple are exporting are our jobs. Then they have the nerve to ask for tax breaks, and Washington obliges.
There is no golden goose that any California politician wouldn’t gleefully hang, draw, and quarter for the sake of fifteen more minutes of power.
– for more than forty years, Willie and the Machine Phil Burton left behind have won election after election after election…
Yeah, but Apple makes (well, gets the Chinese to make) iPhones so they can’t be ALL bad. But if the occupados are looking for grifting members of the one percent, they should take a look at Nancy “What’s bad for my new friends at VISA is bad for America” Pelosi.
From Dennis Miller’s latest HBO special (While facing a flag of California):
“We might just as well shoot that bear in the head now”
Disgusting! What’s that saying – you don’t have to outrun a bear,you just have to outrun the other(s) being chased by the bear? Willie’s definitely trying to kneecap Apple in his attempt to avoid culpability for the economic mess
But I’d like to see the OWS’ers brains meltdown as they try to reconcile that that iPad/iPod/Apple laptops that they can’t live without are the root of all evil.
