    The occupy wall street protest is bringing more attention to the middle class, and it's shocking the media. The illustrator is trying to show how it's all tied together in one way or another.

    I think that with all the "action" going on between wall street and the middle class, the media is shocked and is in disbelief.
  • Brice Johnson on 16 Dec 11
     
    The Occupy movement is like the middle-class' prince charming, exactly what we want. The 1% on the other hand is trying to poison the middle class with lies and deception from the media which is made up of the 1%.
  • Katelynn Hunter on 16 Dec 11
     
    The Occupy Wall Street movement is trying to revive the middle class in order increase their supporters to the full 99% it once was, but the 1% aka the media is like the wicked witch in Snow White that gave her the poisoned apple so she would be out of the way...and the media is upset that attention is being drawn back to them
  • Carrie Fuest on 16 Dec 11
     
    I think it's that occupy wall street has now involved the middle class and the media is appalled by it.
  • Daniel Pengra on 16 Dec 11
     
    I think it means that occupy wall street is trying to save the middle class and the media doesnt want to have it back.
  • Kristin Molgaard on 16 Dec 11
     
    I think it means how the occupy wall street movement is bringing attention to the middle classes economic struggles, and the media doesn't want that to happen.
  • Megan Rief on 16 Dec 11
     
    I believe the cartoon is portraying that there is a connection between the Middle class and the wall street movement, and wall street is trying to revive the middle class. The media however, is not thrilled about the attention being brought to the middle class problems. So the media poisons the the other one percent into believing the lies and misleading comments to try getting their way.

    It's ridiculous that a handful of people can be so much more wealthy that the rest of us. But if they worked for it and earned it than props to them for putting that in. Otherwise that's ridiculous, there are so many hard working people out their that won't make 1/16 of what these people make.
  • tcomulada881 on 26 Jan 15
     
    It's crazy how barely any people would be much richer than everybody is. I don't see the point why they make so much while other people are struggling to even get enough money to feed one mouth. People work hard and yet barely make a little more of minimum wage. I honestly think its ridiculous and unfair.
  • djones036 on 29 Jan 15
     
    I think the people that are that rich and won't even notice millions of dollars gone should help the less fortunate people who will really use it for bettering themselves.

    I think it's ridiculous how hard some people work to survive and take care of others. I think the people that are that rich and won't even notice millions of dollars gone should help the less fortunate people who work hard and live paycheck to paycheck.

    Many students asked my view on this law.... I will simply say that I have felt grateful that 99% of my students followed my classroom policies 99% of the time with regards to seating charts, sanitizing, masks, etc. They respected my classroom all year long even if they personally disagreed with that. Now because of this new law (which is based more on partisanship than science) I am in the opposite role and I will trust and respect the choices students make in the last week of school whether or not I personally agree with their view. I know how to make changes in government when I feel a need for change. As always, if you have an opinion on this topic, I would love for you to respectfully share it here.

    I do not believe the mandate should be lifted seeing as a lot of people are un-vaccinated, susceptible to COVID, and the herd immunity process is barely beginning. There's no way that we're going to eradicate COVID if we can't do the bare minimum of wearing masks. Most people don't even wash their hands for 20 seconds,and wear their masks under their nose. If we can't wear a mask correctly, can't wash our hands, and refuse to get vaccinated, I sincerely believe we might have to deal with COVID as we do with the flu by taking yearly shots and such.
  • sydneykolln on 24 May 21
     
    I personally believe that the mask mandate should not have been lifted. Yes, some people are vaccinated but there are not enough people vaccinated for herd immunity to work well. I also believe that she should have just waited to lift the mask mandate. We have gone through this whole school year wearing masks and for that to change overnight is just confusing to understand. She should have just waited until schools got out for summer and then lifted it if she really wanted to.
  • mgerman776 on 24 May 21
     
    I think the maks mandate should have been kept for a little longer, at least until more people are vaccinated

    Almost $465m of outside money has been spent on the US presidential election campaign so far, including $365m that can be attributed to the supreme court's landmark Citizens United ruling, according to a report released on Monday.
  • Payton Whiteaker on 26 Sep 12
     
    Why don't we use this money to pay debt instead? This is just outrageous. 1 Nationwide debate and be done. We are in to much debt to afford this kind of foolish spending right now.

    Obama's tax reform would be a good idea if it were implemented. It will be interesting to see what kind of resistance the "Buffet Rule" is met with from conservatives such as Donald Trump.
  • Carrie Fuest on 25 Jan 12
     
    A lot of this is great proposals, but sadly I think most of it is just empty words and will not take action, or solve any problems.
  • Tuan Chau on 25 Jan 12
     
    These plans sounds good, it will solve many problems if it succeeds.
  • Brice Johnson on 25 Jan 12
     
    The "Buffett Rule" is one of the most interesting subjects from the speech. Raise taxes on rich, but keep taxes the same from middle and lower class. Yes, this would absolutely help America get out of debt, but I do not believe that this would help the middle/lower classes. As the writer said, they need to lower the middle/lower classes taxes to make a major change to out economic situation
  • Katelynn Hunter on 25 Jan 12
     
    So far most of what he is saying makes sense and is reasonable. I just don't think he will follow through with it, seldom do political figures accomplish what they say, how they say they will go about getting things done. He thinks the wealthier people (making $1,000,000) should pay at least 30% of taxes while the 98% of Americans that make only $250,000 a year should pay the taxes we do now, not an increased tax which simply cannot be paid by some.(The Buffett Rule)

    I don't think there is anyway that it could have landed without someone being able to trace them.

    What I don't understand is that they keep saying that " there is a chance that it could have landed. " I think that they will know when it has landed...
  • rjackson654 on 19 Mar 14
     
    If it didn't land, it crashed, if it crashed it should have been detected. So, my guess is that it flew outside of the area they are searching, to an island or something.

    Why does North Korea think we are the ones threatening world peace and safety when they are the ones publicly saying they are ready for "Total War" and are prepared to use their nuclear weapons? Does Kim Jung Un not realize that using nuclear weapons IS a world peace/safety hazard?
