Occupy Jingle Bells
This season, don't look to bells on bobtails to make your spirits bright. Kindle the mood with dreams and songs of Occupation, sung to the tune of "Jingle Bells."
Onto the marches we go, chanting all the way! This season, don’t look to bells on bobtails to make your spirits bright. Kindle the mood with dreams and songs of Occupation, sung to the tune of “Jingle Bells.”
Chorus
Occupy, occupy Occupy away Oh what joy it is to know That we will have our say Occupy, occupy Occupy away Oh what joy it is to know That we will have our day
1. Started with a few Camping in the square Saying we got screwed We’re here to claim our share
2. Zuccotti was the first Soon cities everywhere Had occupations call For justice and what’s fair
3. No more corporate rule Of government and press Our kids in jails or lured to war For profits in their nests
4. Evicted from our homes Sold a pack of lies Occupying foreign lands Bombs raining in their skies
5. With mortgages banks preyed Worthless papers all They bundled, sold, and then they bet That everything would fall
6. Folks working sixty years Saving for the time When they can take a rest from toil Now no one has a dime
7. We’re marching on the banks We’re taking back our homes Claiming rights to school and health To truth, our dreams and poems

Lessons learned from the 2008 financial crisis show that taxpayer-funded blank checks to institutions do nothing to help those struggling
If the president wants the federal government to be able to borrow cheaply, there are far better options than negative interest rates.
"I can think of no matter of 'intense public interest' about which 'the American people deserve the details' than the issue of what precisely happened to the criminal referrals that followed the 2008 crash."
Great Britain’s decision to leave the European Union presages perhaps another global financial meltdown. Banks will again demand massive bailouts. We will be forced to again swallow austerity measures, and there will be a continued decline in living standards.
