Constitution? Bah! We demand jobs!

The underlying economic reason for changing America into a fledgling communist Socialist country is so that these Democratic Socialists of America Communist Capitalists can get control of the wages paid to American workers which will result in their lowering the wages of American workers to a competitive level with such Communist countries as China, where many American corporations are presently having their goods manufactured. These Communist Capitalist only have one thing in mind and that is to get control of the wages of Americans so that they can lower them, which could make it possible in instances to return to manufacturing in the USA again. This evil idea dawned on them when they saw that Communist countries like China can manufacture goods and perform services cheaper than the USA because they control how much the laborers are paid. These Communist Capitalist will achieve higher profit margins if they can change America into a fledgling communist Socialist country where the government controls the wages. This end result will be the enslavement of the American worker. 

Constitution? Bah! We demand jobs!
Occupy joins Obama czar in effort to rewrite America

NEW YORK – A partner of Occupy Wall Street has launched a massive push for a public works program under the banner of "Occupy the Jobs" in which the government would be required to provide jobs at union wages for more than 30 million unemployed and underemployed workers.

The concept bears a striking resemblance to proposals by Cass Sunstein, President Obama's regulatory czar, who has sought a new Bill of Rights in which the government is constitutionally required to offer each citizen a "useful" job.

Another major Occupy goal, a new U.S. Constitution, is similar to a Sunstein-initiated effort – involving other senior White House officials and funded by billionaire George Soros – to push for a new, "progressive" U.S. Constitution.

According to the group's literature, the Occupy the Jobs movement will serve as "an exciting fight-back program for jobs, against racism and for the rights of workers and poor people to unions, food, healthcare and public education."

The Communist Workers World newspaper reported Occupy the Jobs will "demand a massive public works program big enough to provide jobs at union wages for the more than 30 million unemployed and underemployed workers in the country."

The movement adapted a proposal to hold protest "actions" on the Martin Luther King holiday weekend of Jan. 14-16. Other Occupy For Jobs activities include a Nov. 17 national "Occupy for Jobs" march and rally in New York City to "shut it down!"

On Nov. 23, the group plans to protest the congressional Super Committee's "proposals to slash $1.2 trillion from the federal budget."

The concept of the government being required to provide jobs to Americans is not foreign to progressive politicians.

Sunstein himself in 2004 penned a book, "The Second Bill of Rights: FDR'S Unfinished Revolution and Why We Need It More than Ever," in which he advanced the radical notion that welfare rights, including some controversial inceptions, be granted by the state.

His inspiration came from President Roosevelt's 1944 proposal of a different, new bill of rights.

In his 2004 book, Sunstein laid out what he calls the Second Bill of Rights:

Among his mandates are the following:

    The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation;

    The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation;

    The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living;

    The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;

    The right of every family to a decent home;

    The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;

    The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident and unemployment;

    The right to a good education. 

On one page in his book, Sunstein claims he is "not seriously arguing" his bill of rights be "encompassed by anything in the Constitution," but on the next page he states that "if the nation becomes committed to certain rights, they may migrate into the Constitution itself."

Later in the book, Sunstein argues that "at a minimum, the second bill should be seen as part and parcel of America's constitutive commitments."

Assault on U.S. constitution

The General Assembly of Occupy Wall Street has listed some of the anti-capitalist movement's goals, including "Rebooting the system and rewriting the Constitution."

WND previously reported at least three White House advisers and officials, including Sunstein, have ties to the Constitution rewrite effort, which is funded by Soros.

In April 2005, Sunstein opened up a conference at Yale Law School entitled, "The Constitution in 2020," which sought to change the nature and interpretation of the Constitution by that year.

That event was sponsored by Soros' Open Society Institute as well as by the Center for American Progress, which is led by John Podesta, who served as co-chair of Obama's presidential transition team. Podesta's Center is said to be highly influential in helping to craft White House policy.

The Yale event on the Constitution was also sponsored by the American Constitution Society, or ACS, which has been described as a group meant to counter the work of the Federalist Society, which has been at the forefront of the push for a more conservative judiciary since its launch in 1982.

The ACS is the main organization behind the movement to ensure a more "progressive" constitution, having received more that $2,201,500 from Soros' Open Society since 2002.

Attorney General Holder served on the ACS board of directors.

Sunstein has spoken at numerous ACS events. For example, he was a speaker at a Nov. 3, 2003, symposium by the American Constitution Society of the University of Chicago School of Law, where Sunstein was a professor.

But it was the 2005 Yale event led in part by Sunstein that has been described as jumpstarting the movement for a "progressive" constitution.

Jeffrey Rosen, a law professor at George Washington University, wrote in a 2009 New York Times Magazine piece about so-called liberal justice: "If this new understanding of legal liberalism can be traced back to a single moment, it was in April 2005, when the American Constitution Society and other progressive groups sponsored a conference at Yale Law School called 'The Constitution in 2020.'"
