Charles Blow's View on Society
Charles Blow presents his view on mostly economic factors in the United States and weaves in Political issues and candidacy to his topic. Charles's general position on the Republican politicians, running for candidacy in 2012, is that they use economic factors about minorities to further their platforms; however, he disagrees with their statements. Although Blow recognizes that the Republicans, such as Gingrich, do address main issues such as Black welfare, he also acknowledges that politicians will use the emotional "chord" of Occupy Wall Street to further their platforms, but not the actual issue that young generations are protesting about. Gingrich also criticizes that the Republican party candidates believe that the poor and Blacks should not be given money to help with daily living, but they should instead be given "opportunities". He satirizes this by mentioning how many houses each candidate may have by the speculation of their general income in comparison to the poor and Black that they are talking about. Overall, blow believes that the economic factors in America are supposed to be moving towards equality in his agreement towards Occupy Wall Street, and that the Republican candidates, such as Gingrich and Santorum, are ignorant to the actual need of money in the poorer areas of the country. Through these editorials, one can conclude that Blow is in opposition to the claims of the Republican party and candidates in this election year, and that the poor should have a more equal income to the rest of the country due to the unfairness in taxes which arose in the Occupy Wall Street protests. Finally, one can assume that Blow is not a democrat because of his thesis in "Newt's War on Poor Children", that the Republican Party is becoming void of compassion.

Occupy-apalooza Strikes a Chord
1. These protests on inequality involve people who do not accurately know what the protest is for, but want to be a part of the movement towards equality.
2. Protests are meaningful and murky. They have a common goal of defeating the "status quo".
3. Politicians will use protests in their campaigns.
4. The poor and the young are the most important to these protests because their voices are the ones that are heard in the political positions.
5. The protests have a power to hit the people of America in an emotional "chord".

Newt's War on Poor Children
1. Gingrich has reached a new low (surprisingly possible), by saying that children do not need labor laws and that poor children only understand illegal behavior.
2. Gingrich's statement neglects all the other rising-poor families in the U.S. and doesn't consider the fact that poor people do work, legally, to live.
3. Blow believes that because of the significant results of poor families with many laborers in the family, that poor people should be given credit for the work that they do.
4. In the economic depression, Gingrich, who is well off, is wrong in accusing all poor children of committing illegal activities to gain wealth or simply survive under living conditions.
5. The Republican party is becoming void of compassion.
