Poll: Voters Viewing Occupy Wall St. Unfavorably

Well this is just dumb. Greed is an individual character trait that motivates one to DESIRE objects excessively. One could argue that the DESIRES of the 99%ers are excessive and just a 'greedy' (considering reading their 'demands'). I believe they are protesting what they deem to be excessive corporate PROFITS...which the protestors (and other customers) are promoting.

they are protesting the fact that corporations are making record profits, while not using those extra funds to hire more workers.

they are protesting that CEOs and other 1%ers have seen their income rise by 280% over the last 30 years. while the Middle-class have seen their income remain stagnant, when inflation is factored in over the same time period.

not all of OWS's grievances are right, but some of them are.
 
they are protesting the fact that corporations are making record profits,

So they are protesting success? While greed is one of the 7 so is envy.
 
what a silly & highly biased statement.

We live in a country where can start your own business, employ people and pay them what you think is fair. What have you done to improve the employment picture in this country?
 
I buy things. That keeps people employed.

That is exactly what I thought your experience level was yet somehow you seem to believe you are an expert on what makes the economy run. No wonder you don't understand the economic numbers.

You're unemployed. :lol:
 
Nope, retired, not looking for work, no need to

Like I said -- unemployed. Not employing anyone. Doing nothing to improve the employment situation.

when working I employed over 1200 people thus have a much better idea of how the economy works than most here.
 
Obviously you don't.

Solyndra solar power company shuts down 15 months after Obama visit
Solyndra solar power company shuts down 15 months after Obama visit

The Tonopah Solar company in Harry Reid's Nevada is getting a $737 million loan from Obama's DOE.
The project will produce a 110 megawatt power system and employ 45 permanent workers.
That's costing us just $16 million per job.

One of the investment partners in this endeavor is Pacific Corporate Group (PCG).
The PCG executive director is Ron Pelosi who is the brother of Nancy's husband.
But there is nothing wrong here, is there?

You are so right, there is no place in this forum to post Obama's actual results. We cannot confuse the public with actual facts.

Facts are important, but only if you view them in context. That's the part you have a problem with.

You mean like it has been three years and the results for Obama continue to be worse than when he took office in the major areas of employment and unemployment? You mean like people dropping out of the labor force in a growing population? What you want to do is ignore that it has been three years since Obama took office and the results are worse this year than last?

you again seem to be ignoring all of the evidence being presented to you.
 
Even better question:

I wonder if the protestors know what they are protesting for! :lol:

I think they do after all it's not like a lot of "American tour through OWS" is making a lot of money or there would be more rich people. lol:peace

Umm, I guess I was wrong , but I was sure the RIGHT WING came up with the "PREVENITIVE MEASURE THING"

What was it oh yeah you conserve today to "prevent" financial loss tommorow.
Problem with that was they never wanted tommorow to come.

Problem with this post is it's a condraiction to a post on this very thread calling the OWS protestors unclean , drunks or drug addics, dirty an unorganized .
However in this post you point out all the good stuff they have, so they must have good taste or do they?

So which are they rich protestors with a lot of good stuuf or unclean bums and drunks.

No matter if they are one or the other or both, they are protesting.
Which is another thing you keep asking if the OWS protestors know why they are protesting ?
A more simple question would be DO YOU???:peace

Opinions are not evidence. I have posted actual data and the links to that data. No evidence has refuted that data

Data misreadand without accurate context is not better than a well reasoned opinion.
