I'm a 1%'r, I don't do a motherfucking thing.

Furthermore I don't actually see a difference between the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street other than their names.

Both want something and neither had an actual plan or purpose. The Tea Party wanted the government to not invade their personal lives but then wants to vote in LBGT legislation. The extent of their concern for how the first portion of that sentiment was minimal and pretty much pushed back to the politicians with shouts of "DO SOMETHING BUT DO LESS OF IT!." The latter portion of it is just an example of how hypocritical those sets of values were.

OWS wants the government to not be controlled by corporations but wants jobs from said corporations. That's not AS directly related, at least... but that's like disowning your children then asking them not to send you to a home when you get old.

To use one of our recent definitions on these very boards: Out of those two, which one sounds like it's for the greater good of the people and not just a person? The government there is to protect the people and provide an ordered system with which to carry out procedures for it's citizens. At least, that's what they say they do.

There's an important difference between asking for money and asking for oppportunity and a voice.

The occupy seattle is mainly about large corporations having too much say/weight in the government. I.E. rule making. This is from what I've heard from a few people I asked

How do you pretend to know what I'm doing? I've already started feeling out for a presidential bid in 2020 (the first year I'm eligible) and finding supporters and donors at every turn.

What if there is no work? What if corporations have moved all middle class jobs overseas and then hire illegal immigrants to do the rest of the work leaving the lower/middle class with no jobs? They then tell them to get an education, but there are still no jobs and now they've amassed debt. Who benefits? The bankers! The upper class!

Man, I'm done responding to your posts, but before I stop. Go read a book, learn your facts, and, most importantly, stop regurgitating what you hear. It's basic problem solving skills; get to the root problem and stop fixing the symptoms. Well, unless the benefits of propagating the problem by fixing the symptoms outweigh the cost of fixing the root problem. Just as long as you don't have to assume risk and be held accountable for your life decisions right?

More propaganda. Did you hear that on Rush yesterday? This has already been addressed:

You just refuse to see the distinction, or maybe you don't understand it. Maybe YOU should read a book, iamoenaj?

I don't think anyone in OWS is against the government doing it's job, they just need to be doing their job with images of people in their minds, not bank accounts. Clearly all of our future problems should be solved by this man

Bad journalism is bad.

I was mainly referring to this part of the article:

When told that the Hulk's idea sounds something like presidential candidate Herman Cain's "9-9-9 Plan," he responded, "Wow, yeah well he's not a real American like I am. . . . I've been around, people know me, they know everything about me, they know I'm for real, they know I know nothing about politics. I'll just make decisions on what's right or wrong."

Personally I think the flat tax would be a disaster but for him to even refute that the plans sound identical and then blast the other guy is what has led to all this bipartisan political bullshit we've experienced over the past few years, and they are for the same plan.

oh and Azeth: when I first heard about OWS I felt the same way as you. Frankly I think the representation of the movement has been poor. It wasn't till I spotted some of the things one of my friends that has lived in Raleigh for the majority of the 60 years of his life that I realized that there IS a purpose.

One thing that I cannot wait to see tomorrow is what kind of people show up. Yeah, the OWS movement itself was started by a bunch of no-job college hippies.. those are the only people that can sit for weeks and entertain themselves in a park while having some mediocre semblance of collective thought.

Tomorrow people that are normally stuck at work at a corporate 9-to-5 job, including myself, will be there to express opinions and share ideas.






















On the other hand they might just poop everywhere and try to steal my bike.
