Islam Times: That’s the message Sarah Palin tried to make clear during a dialogue with Republican donors in the run-in to the reelection campaign up ahead. Palin criticized the protesters as believing they’re entitled to other people’s productivity and money and said they’ve drawn the wrong conclusions.
“They say ‘Wall Street fat cats got a bailout so now I want one too.’ And the correct answer is no one is entitled to a bailout,”
These remarks were made by the former Alaskan Governor who rose to prominence in yesteryear’s election campaign in front of a crowd of more than 1,000 at The Republican Party of Florida Dinner.
“The American dream, our foundation, is about work ethic and empowerment, not entitlement.”
The controversial figure also took time to criticize spectrum and party opposition - and president of the USA - Barack Obama, stating he himself was “friends” with the corporate white-collar world that he seems to openly condemn.
“Barack Obama is owned by Wall Street. The fat cats, as he calls them, they’re his friends. They’re his pals. That’s where he gets his campaign donations. And he’s very generous about giving these cats their cat nip — bigger returns on their investments in bailouts,” Palin said.
The 2008 Republican vice-presidential nominee also stated that he understands why people are frustrated with Wall Street and government adding that she’s disgusted by the wrong kind of capitalist as well.
But the proper way to protest, she says, is through the tea party movement.
My question to the Occupy Wall street crowd is, ‘Where have you been the last three years?’ I suggest if they want to vent and want to change the situation, then they vent in the right direction. They need to hop on a bus and travel south — 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, where there’s plenty of space to occupy!”
