@halycon...go fuck yourself. Ifyou cant see the freedom and tolerance given to OWS assholes then pleeease leave me country if you are here...or the occupy lego PD will give you ULTIMATE JUSTICE!!! Lmfao..
@blkk100 no need to troll him, also go fuck yourself for hating on him because he knows his shit as for you, everyone has freedom and ows people have a tolerance level as well and they just want there homes to stop being foreclosed on by banks and assholes like you to stop giving in your money to bail out banks but you go buy a house a see for yourself how difficult it is to own a house. i bet you wont be saying the same thing lol facetious republicans.
"HUNDREDS" is an Absolute Lie, I think you got Bahrain and Egypt mixed with Iran, Iran lets protesters protest, some were hit when they stepped in front of oncoming security vehicles, and American Media was calling for a War with Iran at that point, but the American Media makes the Occupy Protesters look like the Enemy, and Cheer on when they are Oppressed and Assaulted and Jailed. USA Gov was trying to manipulate the Iranian protests (most protesters were protesting against US Sanctions)
Capitalism is fine, free enterprise is the best system, until it runs amock and stacks the deck. Capitalism doesn't care about running out of raw materials in a few decades, or whether the workers have a good life, etc. Capitalism hates free enterprise, it tries to become a monopoly if it can. Government provides the only regulation that keeps capitalism from becoming a feudal system, it's the only thing to keep free enterprise working. Without it, we're in a Lord of the Flies situation.
@IwasBirchyFirst Lack of oversight and regulation allowed corporate greed to reward bank staff for creating loans to people that didn't have the income and savings to affored them. (7x the commision of safe loans). Lack of oversight and regulation allowed those same banks to take a big chunk of the bailout that YOU and I and our children will pay dearly for, and paid themselves HUGE bonuses. Free enterprise is good when it works, crony capitalism destroys the American Dream.
@IwasBirchyFirst One half of us are now officially poor or almost poor. 50%. That's the system that you foolishly defend. Unless you make over $250,000 a year, you are suupporting the thing that is eating your lunch. We have unemployed professionals being supported by food banks. Because unrestrained capitalism ran amuck. One of the strongest economies is Germany. They have captalism, a VERY robust middle class, but they are tightly regulated.
@IwasBirchyFirst Their auto industry is 100% unionized and they pay their workers 2x what we do, and sell around 3x the number of cars that we do. When someone is kicking your ass, you need to take a good hard look at what you've been doing wrong, and fix it, not regurgitate the same old lies the GOP's been filling our minds with for 30 years. Trickle down, doesn't.
Germans also save well above 10% of their income and have for decades. What happens when an average person saves back their income? It appreciates. Comparatively for the past 30 years, Americans spend every dime they make on more and more electronics and various goods. That means that the lower and middle class do not earn a return on their incomes, unlike the Germans.
Additionally, we don't have unrestrained capitalism. We have crony capitalism.
I'd suggest going back and looking as to why banks gave out such loans. They gave out loans to unqualified people because the government told them to. Look at the charter of the Community Reinvestment Act. Additionally, the banks knew the government would back their toxic loans and ball them out. In a free market, the toxic loans would never have been made. In fact, until CRA, they had measures to ensure toxic loans weren't given out.
So what exactly is the movement about? Every time I ask someone, I get another answer. I don't think people within the movement know what its really about.
Hell yeah video was sweet, where is the anonymous edition, that's the commercial I want to see. I can just see the little Lego men with V for vendetta Guy Fawkes mask on. The kids in the commercial will be like "Hey we aren't CIA, we are Legion fear us !", with a laugh track in the back ground. Anonymous supporters are so stupid look at the logo and read a book called "People of Destiny".
@KammeratGak Do you have any idea what capitalism is? I think you are confusing it with "crony capitalism" and "corporatism". Free markets are the only thing that can help the people. Higher taxes and regulations make small businesses impossible, big government and the Federal Reserve make Wall Street bailouts possible, Obama-style. That could never happen in a free market. Ever. Do your research, Paul is the solution.
Good answer, but the centralization and bureacratization that happens around in the economies, is inherent in the dynamics of capitalism itself.
That's a bit simple-minded; the classic liberal theories on free markets etc., are no longer adequate, because the capitalist economy has developed since the 19th Century. We're at a stage where the wealth and production is owned by increasingly fewer and larger corporations. Small shops will just be eaten up
And how do these fewer and larger corporations exist? Socialism. Governments place restrictions on business which favors bigger and bigger businesses. As regulations increase, so do costs of operation and ownership, which makes business more capital-intensive.
Capitalism - true capitalism - discourages large corporations, as they becoming increasingly inefficient and prone to failure against smaller and more mobile companies.
Thanks. I own a small business that is competing against Fortune-500 companies. I did so with no significant capital requirements because its an industry that the government doesn't control (yet). You'd be surprised how much market share you can take from a billion-dollar company with a few ideas.
The problem is that heavy restrictions for business and industry discourage such entrepreneurship. Its why (in general) internet-based business are flourishing - few regulations.
No, that is just wrong. That theory doesn't present the slightest clue of what socialism is. Corporations haven't grown huge because of socialism. No, they do so because they monopolize, and their efficiency in mass-exploiting natural ressources, but also because it's more favorable to produce in large-scale.
The corporations exterminate competitors to maximize profits and gain control of larger domains.
Last I checked, the biggest and most powerful, monopolistic entites have all been due to government. For example, the largest monopoly to ever exist was the British East India Company. It was given a government charter and the crown intervined to ensure its monopoly.
Additionally, can you give me an example of a specific industry that has been monopolized in the past ~50 years with no competition?
For example, look at the car industry. Its controlled by very few players that can deal with the insane compliance costs. Because of the compliance costs required by the government, smaller companies do not exist, and any new startups require funding by billionaires. Look at Tesla Motors - such a company required huge seed investment from Elon Musk. Why? Compliance and regulation costs.
Compare that to internet businesses which are unregulated which spring up daily
Removing barriers and regulations won't quite save the small enterprises (only on some ends). If you look at it, around the countries with regulated capitalism (i.e in Europe), laws and interventions are actually (or used to) used as means to hinder monopolies, and create a certain safety net.
You are right that governments hand out to businesses and make restrictions.
But socialism doesn't hand out to corporations, it nationalizes them and struggles against them.
Can you give me any examples of nationalized companies that actually reduced the cost of service to the populace? In America, such efforts have failed abjectly. For example, our Postal Service is losing billions a year, paid for by taxpayer money. The government allows them to have a monopoly, shutting down any competitors. Our education system is the same way - with similarly disasterous results.
Again, give me examples of nationalization that worked.
Small shops are eaten up because capital requirements become higher and higher in a non-capitalistic society. For example, if due to regulation it costs a million dollars to start up a restaurant, who do you think will build a restaurant in a city - McDonalds or mom & pop? Capitalism and the reduction of regulations encourages small businesses, not discourages it. Look at cell companies in the US - small carriers are getting squashed not by Verizon, but the FCC's regs
You are right that no other presidential candidate represents an anti-corporate stance either, but a neoliberal candidate for austerity, deregulations and wiping out any piece of safety net, is no opportunity for a social movement that has arisen because of such miseries.
@KammeratGak Capitalism is broke? And Government can step in and fix it? You realize capitalism is what pays for the government to run.. every dollar they use is a dollar taken out of the private sector. I understand libs have their own math but really?? Capitalism is the ONLY reason the world is like it is today. Cars, Planes, Computers, TVs, Cell phones.. and on and on and on are all products of capitalism.
No, I don't expect states to go in and "fix" it - the system itself is bankrupt and won't be solved by reformism. The financial market has generated tons of fictive growth that won't or can't be supported by a corresponding consumption, when the vast majority of wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few percent.
Well of course I know those are all products of capitalism, that's irrelevant. Billions on the planet are facing deep attacks on their living standard, can't make ends meet and are impoverished to pay for the profitability of a superwealthy elite.
Is this calculation correct The United States has spent on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, more than 200 million million $ Does this mean that if the distribution of all the million poor people in America will be there are 200 million millionaires But unfortunately these millions went into the treasury of the billionaires of the owners of factories of arms and war missions in order to increase riches and poverty of the poor increases
What I've noticed from the LEGO Congress (tm) is the Pelosi parts won't fit the Boehner ones...and all the LEGO people point at the Ron Paul LEGO guy and laugh.....
It nearly made me fall of my chair with laughter! Far too short, going to have to step it through a bit at a time to enjoy it all fully. Very good satire. However the chilling fact is that the Nazis did actually produce kids toys with a theme like this - just search for "Juden Raus" :(
This is pure satirical sarcasm and is poking fun at BOTH sides... the use of unnecessary force by the police and the smelliness of the peaceful protestors.
What do you expect if you are sleeping in a park without facilities? You make due with what you have in order to keep the movement going.
Wait, people taking this seriously are on our side?! Maybe they're suffering trauma. It's a very professional looking clip with excellent production values but how can anyone be fooled by lines like "Even comes with authentic Zucotti Park smell" or "Only use tear gas under adult supervision as directed". It even says in the blurb directly under the clip "Slate V imagines [i.e. not real] a special edition Lego..." and is listed as Comedy. Anyway, whatevs, well done to the makers.
Hell no to this toy.I am not impressed.This is terrible we have been through pain to fight for our rights.Our children have been hurt our soldiers have come home and are losing their homes.Our senior citizens have been on the street in pain.This makes me sick.People over money will get these greedy bastard out of America.Come on America please people over money will set us free.
Some of you don't get it. This is a parody of the nonsense that the 1% wants to teach our kids. This is in support of OWS. At the end, they equate OWS with Arab Spring.
Ahh the old catchphrase of the neo-capitalist scumbag. Anyone that questions the pooling of money and wealth must be a socialist who hates the USA. Time to get some new material, this is getting quite stale.
Go read a book on economics before commenting dickhead.

@simonsbuddy ows protesters ARE smelly layabouts with nothing to do other than cause civil unrest and divert city / police resources that could be used to stop other crimes. The crime rate in other areas of NY city skyrocketed because police had their hands full dealing with this unruly bunch of assholes. Its people like you that encourage them and dont get that the only goal from these people is to create a scene and cause civil disorder under the guise of "a cause".
@matt73114 The wall street protestors were almost exclusively peaceful. Bloomberg decided to repress their first amendment rights to free speech by assigning completely inappropriate numbers of police to monitor Zuccoti park and OWS protests. The fact that crime rates in the area may have risen because of Bloomberg's exercising a police state to suppress peoples' rights is Bloomberg's fault, *not* the fault of people who are speaking out about problems they perceive in this country.
@matt73114 Do you want your rights to be taken away, and to become more of a slave every year? Oh wait, you're already working for the 1% as a stinkin' TROLL!
@simonsbuddy No they are not being sarcastic, AND you are not 99%. You are not even 20%. People make money by working, not by getting stuff for free for the Government. You don't have anybody to blame that you don't have any dough but your self.
@1988scottcarey The Wall Street Journal found: "The vast majority of demonstrators are actually employed, and the proportion of protesters unemployed [is] 15%... In contrast, a 2010 New York Times CBS News poll found that only 56% of members of the Tea party were employed."

It nearly made me fall of my chair with laughter! Far too short, going to have to step it through a bit at a time to enjoy it all fully. Very good satire. However the chilling fact is that the Nazis did actually produce kids toys with a theme like this - just search for "Juden Raus" :(

This is pure satirical sarcasm and is poking fun at BOTH sides... the use of unnecessary force by the police and the smelliness of the peaceful protestors.
What do you expect if you are sleeping in a park without facilities? You make due with what you have in order to keep the movement going.

Wait, people taking this seriously are on our side?! Maybe they're suffering trauma. It's a very professional looking clip with excellent production values but how can anyone be fooled by lines like "Even comes with authentic Zucotti Park smell" or "Only use tear gas under adult supervision as directed". It even says in the blurb directly under the clip "Slate V imagines [i.e. not real] a special edition Lego..." and is listed as Comedy. Anyway, whatevs, well done to the makers.

Some of you don't get it. This is a parody of the nonsense that the 1% wants to teach our kids. This is in support of OWS. At the end, they equate OWS with Arab Spring.

Ahh the old catchphrase of the neo-capitalist scumbag. Anyone that questions the pooling of money and wealth must be a socialist who hates the USA. Time to get some new material, this is getting quite stale.

@simonsbuddy ows protesters ARE smelly layabouts with nothing to do other than cause civil unrest and divert city / police resources that could be used to stop other crimes. The crime rate in other areas of NY city skyrocketed because police had their hands full dealing with this unruly bunch of assholes. Its people like you that encourage them and dont get that the only goal from these people is to create a scene and cause civil disorder under the guise of "a cause".

@matt73114 The wall street protestors were almost exclusively peaceful. Bloomberg decided to repress their first amendment rights to free speech by assigning completely inappropriate numbers of police to monitor Zuccoti park and OWS protests. The fact that crime rates in the area may have risen because of Bloomberg's exercising a police state to suppress peoples' rights is Bloomberg's fault, *not* the fault of people who are speaking out about problems they perceive in this country.

Yes, it's cute, but written from the WRONG POV...clearly supports the police and
treats the OWS movement as smelly layabouts, worthy of being beaten up and jailed.
This is sad...you missed the point completely...or maybe you just like seeing the 1% quash the rest of the 99%.
