It has been estimated that only 2% of the people in the United States (something over 6 million of you) get to be snowbirds (travel to Florida, Mexico, Hawaii, Caribbean, etc.) each winter. This suggests to me a gross inequality in our society that sorely needs to be remedied. Perhaps the Occupiers can broaden out their demonstrations to focus on this class disparity? Thusly, I urge all of you Occupy protesters (who have not already gone south for the winter) to carry pithy signs in Boston, New York, DC, Oakland, etc. next week to urge our government to enable absolutely everyone to escape the northern climes each winter. You need to demand free passage to the lands of sun, surf, and pina coladas.
May I suggest such slogans such as "We are the 98%!" ... "60 SPF for everyone!" ... "Fly me to Cancun!" ... "We demand Rum and Coke!" ... "If Capitalism is just, it will give me tan lines!" And, in order to get even greater notice in the national media, you might also get some comely topless lasses to join you in these protestations.
Afterthought: The question poses itself -- How is our government going to pay for this new 98%-er entitlement? Perhaps the 2%-ers should be assessed their prorated share of this total amount (including The Barry's Hawaii sojourns) as a surtax on their airline tickets?
