So what are OWS protesting? Income in equality? Why are they mad at banks? Do banks pay them? Why do banks act the way they do? Do they want to freeload or do they want a fair chance at success?
If they do not like the way banks act, look at the people that make the bank regulations. The government (Republican and Democrat). The free market worked on the bank fees, if you don't like they way they do business, then go to a different bank. You make a vote everyday with how you spend your money, go elsewhere if you don't like it. Simple. But banks should be on an equal playing field that means get the government out of it. They create bubbles that eventually burst. See Fannie and Freddie over 1,000,000,000,000 caused by the government NOT banks. If you are told otherwise, you are being lied to.
If they want a fair chance, they need to complain to the ones that pick winners and losers as opposed to letting you stand on your own merits. That is what the government does, picks winners and losers (Republican and Democrat)
The single biggest injustice to the poor is the government borrowing and printing more money. It devalues the dollar and makes prices go up causing the poor to pay more.
Someone said "why don't you want a black man back as President" not directed at me, but towards the "1%" or "a republican" a topic nonetheless. I don't care if he or she is black or white. I would take Thomas Sowell or Alan West as President in a second. And since most people here do not care to educate themselves. Thomas Sowell and Alan West are black. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Sowell
To clear up that Republicans are racist. I'm still trying to find the speech it's on youtube. Even Farrakhan said the Democrats have done nothing for the black man. They promise you but never deliver. Let's look at a few facts. Lincoln freed the slaves (Republican) military was integrated we had black judges and congressman, Wilson (democrat) segregated the military. Margaret Sanger (Democrat) started planned parenthood who's goal was to abort undesirables including blacks. "Margaret Sanger is my hero" Hillary Clinton in one of her run for Pres speeches. Eisenhower (Republican) tries to put thru the civil rights bill three times and each time was denied by the Senate Majority Leader Johnson (Democrat) Johnson becomes President after Kennedy is shot and puts thru the bill as his own for political clout. Senator Byrd (Democrat) filibusters against civil rights bill and is also a member of the KKK. Now which party is racist? Historically the Democrats have used whatever minority they could to bring them votes and power but have done nothing to improve the lives of those they control. Look at every single major city all democrat mayors, the worst crime and the worst schools. Speaking of school, the worst performing schools are all union schools. That is a whole other topic.
When I was younger I fell for all the BS. I remember the rhetoric, Republicans are bad, bad corporations, keepin you down. I thought I was a Democrat. I watched Back to School thought the Marxist quotes were cool, wanted to be just like Robert Downey...Then I started to learn, get more involved with history not indoctrination, with facts not infatuation and then I thought I was a republican. that lasted a few years until I saw that while they were certainly better than democrats as far as lots of things, they had begun to take away our rights after 9/11 allowing the Patriot Act to happen (see the Ben Franklin quote a couple posts up. That is on my bumper. At the time the Democrats complained all about the Patriot act, our right our rights, yet they just renewed it didn't they? With more intrusive wording. They say one thing and do another, it goes for both parties but YOU seem to have the memory of a pea and keep voting the same way over and over again.
Why was there a Christmas ornament of Chairman Mao on the White House Christmas tree? Do they not know history? Or do they not care? MAO killed over 40,000,000 of his people. Socialism and Communism killed another 30,000,000 or so.
Do you want freedom? The ability to succeed on your own? Not be a leech? Then you need to learn about Libertarians. Libertarians believe that man can rule himself. Free markets without government intrusion. The military is for defense, not offense. Property rights, the government can not take you land to give it to a developer. You own your body meaning you can do with it as you please, smoke weed all day or do yoga and eat carrots, shove them up your ass your choice, it is your body as long as you don't harm anyone else.
All you OWS need to be in front of the White House and the Capitol. DC is where the problem is.
