Occupy Wall Street Enters Its Fourth Day, Tensions Rise

Right, how unAmerican to expect the removal of corporate finance from politics, and that money be spent on meeting people's needs instead of corporate bailouts, how positively unAmerican. Shocking I tell you, shocking!

Oh, is that what they are protesting ? These same fools had no trouble with unions contributing to politics, did they ? How'd that work out for all the municipalities across this great land, and the taxpayers that footed the bill for the bloated salaries and benefits ?

95% of TARP is paid back. But let's just take money from someone who earned it, at the point of a government gun if need be, and give it to someone else to "meet their needs". Then they will finally let go of the gubmit teat ?

At a TEA party rally, you see folks who want nothing from government except their freedom. At these moonbat 99%'er rallies, you see freeloaders everywhere, all expecting government to redistribute someone else's wealth to them. Parasites.

If all this is true it just proves they are idiots to boot. Wall street doesn't make the rules. They should be marching on DC if they want money spent on people not on bailouts. WTF is the point? Do they think the big wall street companies will just say "eh your right, were not going to use our influence anymore in dc". Just a group of idiot hating on the wrong people.

If you don't believe the moneyed on Wall Street don't affect politics, I have a bridge in Arizona you may be interested in.

they are a major reason why we have the current idiot as President

And that is the only money that effects politics ? Wall Street money ? Not union money ? Not the money raised by such as Clinton supporters from the Chinese ?

99% losers.

You can't go to the people playing the game and ask them to change the rules. You have to go to the people that make the rules and get that done. Of course if they are on the left government is their religion so they can't really attack the people they worship.

Fortunately, they have the good sense to understand that it wasn't the teachers, police and firefighters that hurt municipalities it was the loss of revenue due to the economic collapse accelerated by shady banking practices.

The unemployment still exists, the lack of a self-sustaining affordable health care system still exists, the wealth disparity between the rich and the poor still exists, the same practices of credit default swaps still exists. People are standing up to say no to this nonsense.

Great campaign slogan for 2012, that is sure to get your side lots of votes!
 
Death by a million cuts, and it resembles torture in Iraq as the liberal hosts can outline GOP plans to torture us mentally and physically w/ their machinations, via MSNBC and radio:thumbdown

If the entire broadcast media was exposed to be Mockingbird it would be no surprise to me!

Yes, why don't protestors throw rocks like the Palestinians? Its better than getting arrested by jackbooted thugs.
 
the whack job protestors are violating the laws, the banks and wall street have not been indicted for anything

If you want to judge people guilty without going through Proper channels, let us treat those protestors the same way. I don't think you would like what would happen

Protesters are just that...they dont have to run on facts....neither did the teaparty protests
 
Of course they do

they are a major reason why we have the current idiot as President

Glad to see you support the protesters goal of removing outside financing from political campaigns!

I don't get it....

Are there no creeks or cracks or crevices in Arizona that one would have built a bridge over????

In your dreams. That is as uninformed of a statement as I have seen here. Head in the sand much ?

They are standing up for free stuff. For what they think is "fair" free stuff.

They aren't all from any one political persuasion, and they aren't playing the standard protest game of going after a particular party, they are going directly after those who run both parties of the government, and I say good on them!!! As Jared Schy said in the article I quoted above "The growing, national movement “signals a shift in consciousness.”

LOL ... Tea Party protests ? How many folks arrested in total in all the Tea Party "protests" in the last 3 years ? Verses one day with these parasites on Wall Street ?

Let me help you out. Tea Party rallies. 99% whine-fests.

Throwing rocks in a non-violent movement would be like ****ing for virginity, now wouldn't it?
 
At least in Europe, the protesters fight back instead of lying there like a dog.

Kick the policemens f-ing asses!

No, they are not. They are pro-Obama, the biggest leech in the country. They are pro-union, the biggest leech organizations in the country. They are cheap liberal astroturf. And their hopes for more free-stuff will be crushed in Nov 2012.

Then you do get it. I have the same disbelief about the moneyed on Wall Street not affecting politics.
 
These are the same unions who screwed the workers in the rear, w/ endless compromise, layoffs and wage cuts.

Standing alongside these AFL-CIA is like standing next to O'Bummer.

Kick the cops in the teeth and say, you cant overturn the U.S. Constitution and arrest me, screw your permits!

They are standing up for a reordering of our national priorities as to what is important to the majority of the country (jobs, affordable healthcare, the environment) not more wealth for a small percentage of the wealthy.

You don't know much about non-violent protest do you?
 
Ethics, good or bad, are a part of business. Where we have laws, we try to prevent, or prosecute, ethics which cross those lines. But like it or not, it does not matter with the housing bubble. Inflation in the housing market created a whole lot of winners, and virtually no losers, for a long time. Ethics was not going to change that fact. When the bubble finally burst, those left holding the bag now represented a whole lot of losers, and very few winners. Regardless of ethics, there was going to be a loser for every prior winner. Remember, for everyone in an upside-down mortgage, a prior owner did real well for themselves.

That is absolutely not true. The American people were the losers. And your claim that money just transfers around is completely bogus. A great example is again Wachovia and Wells Fargo. When Wachovia goes bankrupt, most of the corporate office loses its jobs here in Charlotte. Obviously, the Charlotte economy suffers heavily. Next, for Wells Fargo to buy Wachovia, they had to use capital, and by buying Wachovia, they also then had to take on Wachovia's debts. That is less capital the company then has for new ventures and for loans. Which comes back to people trying to get loans from companies like Wells Fargo, well, it gets hard because they have tightened their belt now. So now small business is suffering.

I get your Darwinistic approach to Capitalism, it is not complicated, nor is it effective. You can dance around the issue all you want, but as long as Wall Street securities trading remains unchecked, the American people will suffer.

" The protests have brought together people of many political positions including liberals,[43] political independents,[44] socialists,[43] conservatives,[44] anarchists,[44] and libertarians.[43] Religious beliefs vary as well including, but not limited to, Christians, Jews, Muslims and atheists."
