OCCUPY WALLSTREET!

That actually sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Those afraid of change will be objecting soon, I'm sure, but if the people aren't being adequately represented by their government, it's time to set up a new one.

[Aadill]

it's hilariously childish but at the same time it definitely begs the question, why are we working in a system that fails us?

Yea, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt but it's not worth it. He asks for changes, so I list some. Then a page or two later he asks again for changes. We explain it's not a particular political party but the manner in which they behave and do nothing of consequence (see 'Super' Committee failing), then he says work with the inept parties over and over. We explain how government has created a system to benefit the highest income earners and themselves ( see legality of congressional insider trading ).

He says to work in the system, but we explain why it couldn't work ( see the complete lack of actual financial regulation enforcement). All he does is repeat his entreaties ad nauseum and ignores the legitimate points that address his systems and political parties.

I hate putting people on ignore but it's like listening to a broken record.

[Samoht]

He's being intentionally obstinate in his defense of an obviously broken system, and I have no idea why, but I have no interest in continuing when his posts constantly degrade to bullying.

Speaking of taking the cause globally.. may need to redefine equality in the global discussion.. if you earn $25K or more you are in the top 10% of global income earners....

Annual income is a device that was defined by the media, not by the protesters. It's a divisive tactic used to get the people who "do the bare minimum" when it comes to being informed to have negative feelings towards the movement.

The 99% slogan is based off of the idea that a select few (1%) have the financial capability to sway the political landscape.

I don't give a shit if you have 5 yachts and 8 supercars... but if you are on a first name basis with members of Congress on the local state or national level then chances are you're the people I want to keep my eyes on.
