I repudiate (OccupyWallStreet), and I
call on the President to repudiate, the
concept of the 99 and the one. It is un-
American, it is divisive, it is historically
false ... You are not going to get job
creation when you engage in class
warfare because you have to attack the
very people you hope will create jobs.
—Newt Gingrich
Demonstrating like this is as American as apple pie.
We have been marching up and down and
demonstrating throughout our history. One of the
things that is of concern to all of us is that there's
increasing gap between those who are doing very,
very well, and Pm doing well, and those who are not
doing as well. This is something that I think our Wall
Street friends, our business friends, need to think
about. And this is something that our political leaders
need to think about. It isn't enough just to scream at
the Occupy Wall Street demonstrators. We need our
political system to start reflecting this anger back
into, how do we fix it.
—Colin Powell
