From Azi Paybarah of Capital New York
Here is a letter to Azi Paybarah of Capital New York:
We need to take this movement seriously as symptomatic of the brewing unhappiness of a generation that is becoming more and more hopeless about our economic future.
Because the federal government hasn’t been able to generate a real job creation program yet, Mayor Bloomberg and Governor Cuomo need to lead on this issue and creatively put New Yorkers back to work on rebuilding our infrastructure, our transit system and our dilapidated public schools. Perhaps they could create a modern WPA for New York in the 21st century.
And I suggest that the growing group of peaceful protesters on Wall Street should start a new political party: the Coffee Party, which would give them political clout to change government policies and advocate for good schools and good jobs in the future.
