Look at the supporter list on OccupyWallstreet.org. Does this list tell you anything about what the organization is really about? I don't care what they say they're about, one look at the list of supporters and I can see what the ultimate goal is of this organization.

One can only conclude you are referencing the pic of the tool in the glow in the dark Guy Fawkes mask holding up the stupid sign ???

It's no different from the coup staged on the Tea Party by the Koch Bros. and others....

Popular uprisings are easily co-opted for political reasons. It will be no different this time.

I personally support the Wall Street protests because I believe the people who are focused solely on the accumulation of money with no regard to the health of the country in which they live aren't the kinds of people we need making decisions. Nor are the politicians who continue to prop up companies whose greed and poor decision-making cost this country dearly.

Our jobs are gone simply because it's easier to amass piles of cash when you can shit all over your work force, while simultaneously undercutting your competition. Operating your factories in poorly regulated environments with a ready supply of cheap humans is a sordid thing. It has weakened our country and destroyed a way of life. The middle class has been sacrificed on the altar of corporate greed. One need look no farther than conditions in factories in places outside the US and Europe to see how these "corporate leaders" view their workers.

as Herman Cain said, you are to blame yourself if you are not rich, and I fully agree.


Funny how the same people that are protesting in this 99% thing are the same ones mourning Steve Jobs, one of the most successful capitalist ever!

[gwb72tii]

if the protesters really thought about all this, they'd march on capitol hill and demand obama's resignation. he got every policy passed thru congress he wanted and the result is where we are today
