But do you honestly think that everyday people who work for a living actually "support" this "movement"? I don't think so. I don't even think they give it a second thought in their everyday lives.

Most things that we are told by the media have the "nation's attention" really don't. It has the media's attention for sure. But do I think my Dad or my brothers (or myself) give two shits about any of the nonsense going on?

Hell no. My dad is more worried about his cattle ranch and would laugh derisively at all of that. And my brothers are too busy with their own businesses as well.

I DO get out a bit here in Vegas and see people from all over the country and the world at the clubs and casinos.

I have yet to have even ONE person discuss the "OWS" with me.

I have heard politics discussed. I've heard talk about taxes and other of the usual conversations that go on in social settings.

Not once have I heard anything about the OWS or Tea Party for that matter.

That shit is mostly "important" to the media because they think it helps their ratings. And it makes good discussion on message boards. But for middle class working people in everyday life across the country?
No.
