DEAR TAXPAYER - a short film - Occupy Wall Street

[Spudst3r]

This is a bit misleading... the bailouts were mostly paid back.

[randomstring23]

great vid but the music is a bit OTT !!

[rawmilkklimwar]

Please stop sucking the life out of the actual film with this so called music".... the content speaks loudly enough ... It would be good to have a button that turns the "music" while the speeches can still be heard....

[83joonior]

God I hate watching these things; they make me sick. Here I am in utter turmoil because I've got nothing to my name, contemplating suicide while these assholes won't even accept responsibility for the absolutely horrendous situation they've put us in.

Wish I had more money, I'd pay them a visit and bring them with me. I really would. As it stands I'll just be another of their victims, a nameless veteran who got shafted by the greediest sons of bitches there ever was.

Fuck you, Wall Street.

[UsedNewsToday]

Ahh our financial leaders...they're a bunch of tools huh? Every time I start to get down on myself I just think of them and I feel better. Makes no difference to me if they get away with it. They wear nicer clothes and walk in different circles but they're all just thieves with a bunch of wannabes playing along for scraps off the master's table.

[adhocrat1]

@ 8:33 a voice says "our free market is at stake"

as if we've ever had a free market. The free market is what we haven't had. It's also the solution to this. Let the market operate without arrogant idiots telling people how to run their lives. Politicians want to run our lives but all they can do is add an 'I' and ruin our lives.

[SunnySunKansas]

fire all these financial assholes

[TheArtisticChaos]

-->Awesome<-- (the soundtrack too) :]

[henleyish]

So very well said!! Excellent video, the best i've seen on the subject. So how does it feel to know each one of us owes so much to be told what, where, when and how...We will never be able to pay this off, our childrens children will be suffering! I say tell all the greedy bastards a planet of gold has been found and load em all up on one ship and send em to the SUN!!

[jptugagmr]

the venus project

[olga2415]

Forget Jessy James! These are the faces of THIEVES who produce nothing but debt! They expropriate wealth from hard working taxpayers and distribute their ill gotten gains among themselves.And they have the gall to look down on us from their self-defined elitist positions. They are scurilous THIEVES in $2,000 suits!

[ZIONFORREAL]

The entire occupy wallstreet movement is a fucking nazi anti semite bullshit....

PLEASE GO GET A JOB!

[monjiaitaly]

that was excellent

[monjiaitaly]

THEY SHOULD ALL BE HUNG OR IN JAIL FOR LIFE.

[sexyslim1982]

Where is Ron Paul in this video? He had some good one on ones with Bernanke..:)

[rkappra]

Wall Street is an abstraction because money is an abstraction. They are just floating numbers around. There is no reason why they can't just print more money and give it to the people. What they are doing is consolidating their power. The more "down and out" we are, the more they have control over us.  it is time to occupy our democracy.

[msnoodlebrain]

Furthermore, all of their assets and cash and property should be seized and reimbursed to the US Treasury to fill the people's coffers. Get busy, America. Do not allow this dupilicity to continue to destroy our country. These players deserve to die more than the Rosenbergs' ever did.

[msnoodlebrain]

I think it is time to haul all of these players to jail and as we prosecute, those who are found guilty of frauding the American people out of their compulsory tax revenue and their treasure, should be lined up and shot by our military as an example of that which we will not put up. NOW.

[killerbng]

HAHA at like 6:10 where the lady ask a question and to raise hands...u see how they all look at each other to see if any1 raised their hand b4 they raised theirs? HAHAHAHAHHA

[toshihoo]

Brilliant film. I'd like to suggest you make a shorter cut (with links to the longer version) to help this go viral. IT's currently longer than most people will watch.

[milissamusic]

Thank you for your film.! May you find your dreams...

[nohealthcare62]

REGULATION ! page after page of foreclosures WAKE UP AMERICA ! They set you up took your money brainwashed you into monster size homes you could never afford & now they play the stock market hoping you will die because they all bought health insurance stocks betting you will die better than playing the lotto

[danzahlis]

"Wall Street itself is an abstraction." It's time to personalize these abuses. No more "Wall Street." No more "financial sector." No more "Congress." No more convenient institutional references that act to absolve individuals of personal accountability. It's time to restore our union on the backs of these people and their ill gotten gains.

[jerbauric]

The government should have regulated the banks. I blame the government first, Reagan/Bush/Clinton/Bush/Obama before I blame bankers. What do you think a kid is going to do in a candy store left to roam?

[VitalemRecords]

If our troops were ALIVE and HOME, they would have had JOBS and bought HOMES instead of going to the MIDDLE EAST to be used as TOOLS in creating a BLACK HOLE of money and lives

[FontanaCinemas]

Now, I'm no MIND reader, but I'm pretty sure I know what Hank's thinking when he says "...we're gonna make it work."

[Palaeogeobicho]

WTH!!! The recommended videos from youtube itself on the right are almost all of them about sex-related stuf??? Only a few are related with the theme of this video!! They are using this in order to deviate attention, this is using psychology to do it!

Is this only with me? (I'm in the UK)

Shame shame shame on youtube!!!!!!

[ZOOTSUITBEATNICK1]

Wall Street owes us an apology?

Christ!

The people who are called Wall Street need life in prison.

[pbhsplayer]

THATS COOL ONLY PUT IN THE PARTS THAT MAKE IT LOOK BAD GROW A PAIR WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH WORSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!! HELL MY DAD IS 68 AND STILL WORKING FOR RETIREMENT AND HE ISN"T BLAMING ANYONE!ANYWAYS YOU VOTE THOSE PEOPLE IN!!!!!!!!!!! SO PEOPLE OF THE USA BLAME YOURSELF CAUSE YOU VOTED FOR THEM!

[DjMenniz]

@pbhsplayer I see your point but this was very well planned and most americans doesn't know anything about taxes or their government. Sorry to say it but your dad and his generation was the problem not having the balls to take care of these criminals when they blew JFK head off. WHAT DID HE DO? probably nothing. Do your dad have cancer yet from them HOARDING ALL THE NATURAL CURES FROM US ALL,ECT. ?? So you want us all to remain slaves to this corrupt bully ass system?

[MarsLeo749]

@pbhsplayer <-- totally brainwashed slave.

I'll never retire. And I've been a decent hard-working individual all my life.

And all I see around me is nepotism and incredibly expensive education that gets me nowhere.

I suppose if I was the niece of bernanke, chertoff or wolfowitz, I'd be all set.

I'd also get automatic dual-citizenship and get to stay in uncle chertie's villa in Israel.

[SuperMegaUberGenius]

Dear Wall Street Types and Occupiers and The Like and The Ilk,

/watch?v=bXId5jOTxdg

God Bless!

[53muse]

I am so disappointed in our Judicial System when the punishment given does not and will not stop the stealing, if there is no real responsibility taken for the crimes against the People/ taxpayer 99%.

[Bobberlyisem]

Wake up homeless, huh Jefferson? Even he couldn't define the true danger of what we are to face.

Ah well he got the point across.

[pzkinsmith]

Powerful. Thank you.

[guachingman]

what a farce....bombs need to start flowing the right direction, even if only petrol bombs...

[Ceo5003]

Everyone gets blamed except the person responsible, a cat and mouse game. Not once have I heard some ask to Prosecute (punish) the District Attorney for not filing charges against those responsible. Yet he is the one person responsible. His punishment is the one thing we should ask for yet haven't. Our job is to punish him. His job is to punish everyone else. That simple problem solved.

[Bobberlyisem]

@Ceo5003 Chopping heads won't solve the problem they created, though it would be an awfully pleasant ritual for american citizens.

[DjMenniz]

@Bobberlyisem But chopping heads off would put that fear into them because we all know they don't fear us. We need to FORCE THE ISSUE FUCK A PEACEFUL PROTEST IT'S TIME TO AGGRESSIVELY TAKE THESE CRIMINALS OUT FOR GOOD.

[Bobberlyisem]

@DjMenniz It has been that time for years now. So the crooks get around in bullet proof cars and 100's of ignorant traitor 'police' on their tail.

The next chapter of human history is on its way, whatever it may be. It seems to me like we have let ourselves be cheated out of the next chapter, so we are awaiting the bloodshed of ourselves and our enemy who has a weak number, and a strong technological advantage.

[antmayfield]

Suffer your low views for lack of HD. That was a cheap move putting it in 360p

[hatcher1467]

great video! Very informative

[auzio]

using your editing powers for good, i see

[matwright111111]

like pedo's as pedo.

[porallen]

Dear America,

Sorry to say but you're fucked. And you know where to point the finger of blame. The rest of the world empathises but is moving on. Now it's time for developing nations to assume the mantle of world superpower and begin to enjoy the lifestyle you have enjoyed for the past century. It's been fun; you've made a few good films and your contributions to science, technology, academia will be long remembered. Now, if you could just sort out the small matter of that outstanding bill...

[TheGhostWSM]

these occupy cooksdont know what there even talking about most are homless kids and kids that are stupid in the first place. they dont eeven know what there saying just what they think is the truth. the truth is obama is a puppet on a string. obamas constituints are mostly from wallstreet and goldman and sachs. its not banks that are the problem its our government. shit they gave the banks the money and dident even watch what they where using it for. shit ben bernaky is going to kill us in 2012

[TheRusty]

@TheGhostWSM For starters, don't call people "stupid" if you cannot form a proper sentence. it doesn't reflect well. Second, yeah, some of these people are homeless. Have you ever been homeless? It's not fun, I've been there. Third, changing one puppet for another doesn't end the puppet show. Only cutting the string does. Tackle the SOURCE of the corruption.

[TheGhostWSM]

@TheRusty lol this guy. first off how you put a sentence togeather does not mean anything in this convo. stupidity is being ignorant to facts. 2nd i have been but dosent mean i acted a lame destroying shit trashing shit cuz i can? n 3rd i agree you need to cut off the hands of the puppet master. all im tryna say is get the TRUE issues right instead of blaming the 1 percent. start with obama and his cabinit thats the reason we are the way we are right now - George w bush b4 osama i mean obama

[WildFire0925]

Stay focused on Unity of Purpose and ignore the pathetic attention seekers like drd and friend. It is their sick little task in life to run around pissing people off. Stay at peace with yourself so we can stay focused together. Occupy Unity

[belfasta]

this makes me angry the death penalty needs to be used on these bankers

[Youaresofullofshite]

and the award for the most corrupt government in History goes too......you guessed it! Such greedy fuckers!

[doogiedog1234]

also tho this really does highlight the weaknesses of humans,

Greed obviously payed some important role during evolution or we wouldnt have it as a characeristic today.. however in this day and age we need to adapt to the totally interconnected world we live in. we need to be stronger. and use logic to understand greed will destroy what the great men before us have built.

[waltermh111]

@doogiedog1234 We should agree on what greed means for the discussion.

There is the idea that me wanting more money for a better life is greed. But most people that want that, do not necessarily want it at the cost of somebody elses life or ability to at least have shelter.

In fact, often when asked if you would work a little less to eliminate layoffs, people will say so, or have a slight pay cut. Some people just cant afford even that, but when they can, they often will.

[waltermh111]

@doogiedog1234 But then you have the idea of greed as having the necessities of life and enough to be happy and healthy as often as you can control, and still wanting more and more, and never being happy if your not making ever more.

I think it is a minority that is this greed. I think its a mutation and that most such people are sociopaths, and have to be because those people who make millions personally have to ignore, be unaware of, or just not care what it costs to make that much.

[doogiedog1234]

Wr are human beings...our fault is our susceptibility to greed. im an anthiest but i must admit if the people in charge of these financial instituations valued all humans as much as jesus did.. rather then just themselves and their family/friends.. we would live in a better world.

[doogiedog1234]

Seriosuly.. wat do occupy wall street want...If they fired the CEOs who would take there place. what kind of eithcal person is really going to want that job? There would be 100s of predators waiting to take the position, Ethical thoughtful people are studying things like medicine, ecology ect.

[drd105]

Blah, blah, blah. The TARP was repaid with interest by the Summer of 2010. Tax payers MADE MONEY on the TARP. It was profitable for the US Treasury. So all this attempt to try to say that banks have some responsibility because they were bailed out is off the point.

[CoreyOgilvie]

@drd105 What about the other 11.5 trillion the FED has been printing and using to buy toxic assets of all types from all sorts of 'financial institutions'? Have the taxpayer's made money on that yet? i think you know the answer

[TheCorrine27]

@drd105 If a criminal pays back their penalty with interest, does that absolve them of their crime? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Also, since the taxpayer is still on the line for the continued legalized gambling of the entire financial system, this problem has not been solved. Plus, inflation is a tax on the people from the FED policy of quantitative easing. People across the world are paying everyday for the corruption and greed by these criminals. Open your eyes!!

[Clownwhiper]

@drd105 You are an unpatriotic imbecilic traitor. It does not make on fucking bit a difference if the TARP was paid back, It does not make one fucking difference whether or not interest was paid and YOU KNOW IT!

The damage was done you unpatriotic pathetic right-wing puppet.

Go move to a fascist country were you belong.

We will rebuild this government without you as you are not welcome here.

[TedEdFred21]

@Clownwhiper don't respond with hate. hate gets us nowhere.

[BennyTheReaper1]

@drd105 What about the TELF money?! Blah, blah, blah.

[Etrajbe]

@drd105 Your an idiot, not only do they fund terrorism, invade countries for resources, fuck up the worlds food supply, monopolize and privatize everything, but they also ensure americas surely economic collapse.

[AnotherWayFilms]

Search:

"Ralph Nader on Wall Street DVD.." on YT

And watch Nader rip Treasury secretary Paulson a new one!

[cironable]

get a job you fucking hippies!

[NightClubc]

very interesting video...wow opens ones eyes up just how duped the middle class are,by the stinking greed and likley also fear scared puppets even' actually are..

[trick69ist]

@Gabrieow, lmao! Who told you that? Fox news?... Glenn Beck?

[gabrieow]

There's so many people blaming the banks who took an oportunity (I'm not talking about ethics here!) but they shouldn't be occuping wall street! Wall street could not have done ANYTHING to hurt the tax payer IF the government had done its job NOT ALLOWING this absurd spending and never allowing so much authority by the FED! They should be occuping the FED, the congress and the white house!

[ali31nana]

watching this video is sad... these men are sick.... greed is an illness that causes men to do horrendous things.

[WikiLeaksTUBE]

Great video, those (bankers) scums financed 90% of all the wars and troubles since the last 200years. Its a conquest. Even Hitler was financed by them. Look, copy and paste this link; QNYHkCatPFo

[TruthSeekingElf]

The sneaky lying faces of these thieving scum is a sight to behold. Every one of them get paid too much, and for doing what, stealing from the rest of us. This whole system needs to be brought down and the thieves prosecuted for their endless crimes. Great vid.

[gmcz73]

with what....food stamps?

[fertileboredom]

Brilliant. Great job.

[richardhutnik]

Get out of debt and help your neighbors get out of debt.

[kraigward]

Dude you are THE BEST film maker in this space I've seen yet. BRAVO!!!!!

[DackIsBack]

Why are the banking elite taking about a "New World... [order]"?

I guess those almighty, all powerful men that run America are all conspiracy theorists!! Must be... right?

[conchf]

What do the Wall St. Welfare Queens do after they get bailed out? They give themselves million dollar bonuses for their epic failure. Astounding it's taken this long for Americans to be out in the streets.

[conchf]

Excellent video.  Thank you.

[nurmal2]

What can we do besides complaining? I always think about it, my country (Brazil) is in deep shit, economicaly, politicaly... people dont move, dont mobilize... WHAT THE HELL CAN WE DO?

[nurmal2]

@nurmal2 Oh, im not living there BTW, im in Japan, but i want to come back some day

[titovalasques]

@nurmal2 It's been proven throughout history that we cannot handle the responsibility of a monetary system, constantly having to regulate & police in order for the power to not end up in the hands of a few. If you built a machine with the same fail-rate we would scrap it & build a better one. We need to rebuild society to conform better with all of our & the planets needs. We need to remove the incentive that blinds us from what is really important. watch?v=iMJWPqirZJo

Our politicians have failed us...Its coming...

[ironicjesus]

REFUSE TO PAY YOUR TAXES until they throw every one of these bankers in jail or string them up from a tree. It makes absolutely no sense to let these evil evil men hold the reigns for one more moment.

[ironicjesus]

REFUSE TO PAY YOUR TAXES !!

[SuperAnnoyingtroll]

Paying to exist on a planet that you were BORN ON. All trolling aside, fuck America. We were given half freedoms.

[rickydontlose]

@lildroop01 Do you know what the word "myopic" means? Because you fit the classic definition. You are so caught up in meaningless partisan labels that you cannot even get to the fundamental reality of the message. Could you even fathom that truth could ever possibly come out anyone's mouth but Ron Paul's? Who the f*** cares whether Ron or Barney or Bubba says it? It is exactly this type of punkass pinheaded political tunnel vision that has allowed these thieves to steal us blind. Idjit.

[tamzinravenwood]

I don't care if they are Republican or Democrat. I am just grateful to hear some of the these guys questioning all of this!!!! I thought that absolutely none of them cared at all but evidently some saw this coming and said their peace, to deaf ears evidently.

[umberwolf]

@lildroop01 There's already enough lying in this clip. Adding the words of another liar won't help anything. Bigger, better, stronger, faster, more... lies. Let us eat cake.

Stop paying your taxes ! Stop shopping walmart & target ! Stop buying gas on a regular basis ! Stop using Banks and Credit cards ! Stop donating to the police department ! Stop supporting the petty laws ! Stop going along with insurance rules ! Start buying local ! Start using cash only ! Start a demonstration ! Start to inform everyone ! Start voting for the nobody with nothing to gain ! Start sharing what you have with others ! Start to change the world !

Amazing! Thank you so much for compiling all of this great footage. The whole world needs to see this.

[LANDSHARK7130]

IT AMAZES ME THAT CONGRESS SITS THERE AND SOLELY BLAMES THE BIG FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS AND DON'T LOOK INWARDLY AT THEMSELVES AND THE LEGISLATION THEY CREATED THAT ALLOWED THE BIG FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS TO RUN AMUCK WITH OUR ECONOMY. ARE OUR REPRESENTATIVES THAT NAIVE? OR DO THEY UNDERSTAND BUT LACK THE INITIATIVE TO REPEAL THE LEGISLATION THEY CREATED TO START THE PROCESS OF CHANGE AND RECOVERY. WE NEED TO PUT PRESSURE ON THEM TO THIS END. MARCH ON WASHINGTON AND PRESSURE YOU LOCAL GOV'T.

[elbowbiter1]

@LANDSHARK7130 It's one step removed from theatre. The suits on trial own a few of the people interrogating them. Not all... because other suits not on trial own the other interrogators. Beneath the facade of the formality is a tug of war between opposing members of the ruling class. The politicians are all bought and paid for. Their views are the views of opposing monied interests. Don't pretend to think politicians have ANY power over money. All they do is pass the laws of the highest bidder.

[dkoribag1]

couple of them id like to punch in the face just cause they have one of those faces.

[dkoribag1]

start hanging those fuckers in the street. See if that gives them insentives to corrupt.

get it right mother fuckers, god they make me sick...

[dkoribag1]

Gary Johnson is the best presidential candidate for the american people. He has the most logical and ethical economic solutions for this nation as a whole. I ask that you at least research him, and if you do not, if I did know you, I'd have to ask, why are you voting when you do not have all the facts? Why vote only for your own sake instead of for the sake of our nation . Take some time and read, and see what else is out there? besides what the media tells you

Well said. It is the height of foolishness to look to the fools and thieves who were the ringmasters of this financial circus to admit their guilt or undo what they have so profitably wrought for themselves. Why do we give them any heed at all? They should be forced to walk the streets to deafening choruses of "shame, shame" at every turn. Let their shunned and ostracized psyches collapse such that not one dollar of their stolen gains will do them one whit of good. A fitting & just sentence.

[robinhoodtheorem]

Antonio Maria Costa, head of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, said he has seen evidence that the proceeds of organized crime were "the only liquid investment capital" available to some banks on the brink of collapse last year. He said that a majority of the $352bn (£216bn) of drugs profits was absorbed into the economic system as a result.
