ST. LOUIS • A coalition of Occupy St. Louis protesters, including a handful of area labor leaders, were arrested Thursday after blocking the eastbound entrance to the Martin Luther King Bridge.

St. Louis police said 14 people were taken into custody.

The local acts of civil disobedience were part of a day of protests across the nation stemming from the Occupy Wall Street movement.

The arrests here were peaceful, with several protesters engaging authorities in playful banter as the protesters were escorted in plastic handcuffs to nearby police vans.

The action at the bridge ended a march that began with a 3 p.m. rally at Kiener Plaza.

About 800 people, bolstered by representatives of the Teamsters, United Auto Workers, Service Employees International and other unions, participated in the rally and the subsequent march north through downtown.

'Republicans aren't mistaken when they say President Obama is declaring class warfare. He's been working that turf with a pretty big shovel. How many times have we heard that millionaires and billionaires (as though there were no difference) refuse to pay their fair share?

But Republicans are also playing the class card when they insist with equal passion that half of all Americans pay no taxes. Missing from this statement is the word "income," which would make the assertion truer. But it's more effective to imply that half the country — i.e., the shiftless and dependent — only want something for nothing.

What happens when you win an argument based on half-truths? In politics, it doesn't matter. Winning is all that matters. In real life, the people lose.
