Steve Jobs and the accoutered Wall Street 'Protesters' for whom ‘Occupy’ is anarchists for Big Government

Master's in Maya Angelou

Do you remember Van Jones? He was Obama's "green jobs" czar back before "green jobs" had been

exposed as a gazillion-dollar sinkhole for sluicing taxpayer monies to the president's corporate cronies. Oh,

don't worry. These cronies aren't "corporate" in the sense of Steve Jobs. The corporations they run put

"people before profits": That's to say, they've figured out it's easier to take government money from you

people than create a business that makes a profit. In an amusing inversion of the Russian model, Van

Jones became a czar after he'd been a Communist.

Michael Oher, offensive lineman for the Baltimore Ravens, was online Wednesday night when his Twitter feed started filling up with tributes to Steve Jobs. A bewildered Oher tweeted: "Can somebody help me out? Who was Steve Jobs!"

He was on his iPhone at the time.

Who was Steve Jobs? Well, he was a guy who founded a corporation and spent his life as a corporate executive manufacturing corporate products. So he wouldn't have endeared himself to the "Occupy Wall Street" crowd, even though, underneath the patchouli and lentils, most of them are abundantly accessorized with iPhones and iPads and iPods loaded with iTunes, if only for when the drum circle goes for a bathroom break.

The above is a somewhat obvious point, although the fact that it's not obvious even to protesters with an industrial-strength lack of self-awareness is a big part of the problem. But it goes beyond that: If you don't like to think of Jobs as a corporate exec (and a famously demanding one at that), think of him as a guy who went to work, and worked hard. There's no appetite for that among those "occupying" Zuccotti Park. In the old days, the tribunes of the masses demanded an honest wage for honest work. Today, the tribunes of America's leisured varsity class demand a world that puts "people before profits."......

.....Say what you like about Enron and, er, Solyndra and all those other evil corporations, but they didn't relieve you of a quarter-mil in exchange for a Master's in Maya Angelou. So why not try occupying the Dean's office at Shakedown U?
