their point is but i did hear, brian, yesterday i was watching the coverage all over the place, van jones came out and he was all of a sudden stepping forward saying, hey, look, i'll be the spokesman here. here's what we're looking for. we're looking for the income equality gap to kind of shrink a little bit. this is a man who is a self-admitted marxist. but that struck me. i did a little investigating. if you look at what occupy wall street wants and the principles of marxism, they're almost identical. they want the working class to rise up against the establishment. and they want income redistribution so if that's their message, boy, it's not going to be long before that thing goes away. that can't last. >> yesterday, one of the things they wanted which they failed to do is they wanted to delay the opening bell on wall street so they wanted to create some havoc and so much disruption that, i guess, people couldn't make it into ring the opening bell. that didn't happen. but what they did end up doing, they also tried to shut down the subway system which makes no sense. that's where the 9

my own view is that guys like van jones, a community organizers, and even george soros, the famous billionaire that funds leftist causes, i think there's a lot of deep pocketed topdown leadership that comes from occupying. and you look at the way they function the general assembly in the park met at the deutsche bank lobby. the tea party movement is leaderless because we have these values that i was talking about. we respect each other. we don't hurt each other. we don't take each other's stuff. when we come together to do something it's on a volunteer basis. it's on the trader principle. it's value for vafment and you can't have a leaderless -- it's value for value. and you can't have a leaderless movement unless you have communities. that's why you're seeing occupy literally fall apart. it's not functioning the way the activists hoped it would. host: john, an independent from baltimore. you are on the air for matt kibbe from freedomworks. caller: thanks for taking my call. i have two questions, if you'll bear with me. first one has to do with social security. i served 20 years in the militar
