I think this is pointless. The people don't even have one goal that they are fighting for. Also, why don't they go try to get a job. Mow a neighbor's lawn for God sakes, but actually do something about it than sitting on your butt. I totally agree with @jjrants.
Well i actually think that this is a scam. Like with SOPA, the US government told their people about SOPA so they protested and then they signed ACTA because the people did not know about ACTA so they did not protest, SOPA was never a real thing. I think same thing can be going on now, the organizers of this movement could be people from banks to get the people focus away from whats going on in the white house what bills are voted on.
Okay first of all... we are NOT a democracy. Second i'm still confused about who Occupy Wall Street is protesting against and what their goals are, someone please help me out.
These people are disgusting, Tired of it. Work hard and work even harder. That's the answer. Nobody achieves anything through whining, it's a simple fact. These people actually feel that they're entitled to something. Get your hands dirty and stfu for once.
Its good to see sensible comments from the protestors vs. the unorganized random shouting which only creates kaos which translates into the message getting lost.
Sick and tired of people on welfare bitching and complaining about how the government doesnt give then enough. Always complaining and wanting more and more handouts. They need to ask thier grandparents or great grandparents about the Great Depression in the early 1900s, with the Dust Bowl and all the other shit. They didnt even have welfare or unemployment back then and they turned out fine. They learned how to be resourceful without relying on the government for help.
occupy wall st protesters are stupid. They do not realize that if CEO's lose their business then employees would be fired. no income means no money, no money means starvation and poverty for America.
If you complain about how much these CEO's are making, then make your own business and become a CEO, that way you can employ other people and probably make them a CEO too.
if the CEO's business fails a lot of people lose jobs. It's as simple as that. If a business id not making profit, we're F&*^%
@crothersdaniel It's no coincidence that Obama's presidential campaign coincided with the riots and that his message is precisely the same. "Education" becomes a sinister word when the Leftists arrive.
Let me remind these people of the American Dream; "... the opportunity for prosperity and success...". Just because these so called "pigs" and "greedy" people followed that dream, does not mean it is their fault, these morons are unsuccessful. While OWS protesters spend there time destroying private property, and going to the bathroom in the street, they could be trying to get a job. And while they're complaning about big business, half of them are out there drinking starbucks coffee.
Out of all these people only one person made a good point and that's SAD.
Half of these people don't understand that this president that they elected is the person they hate and that the people who know ANYTHING are protesting the same exact thing that the tea party is protesting. But they "hate" those people. There is no "united" these people are just bias and dumb.
@NightOfTheLiving8bit Big Business is protesting by keeping the jobs in Asia, when Obama is going the jobs will return. They don't like him for whatever reasons, his policies etc. as with his support for the unions which are underminding the American system with their own agenda.
ya well you protesters need to get more organized and when a fellow protester is unlawful detaied.... look at it this way there is alot more of people them there is police so inted of the pigs just standing in a circel around your brother and whatch him get detained unlawfuly do something about it get organized V
OK. You can hate police. You can hate corporations. You can hate taxes You can demand freedom. Yet what do you want? If you want no taxes, other people can't have taxes. If you want no corporations, the government will become an ultra-greedy king corporation. If you want no police, you will have criminals breaking in and stealing and murdering without consequence. If you want no army, you will have no country. America, WAKE UP!!!
99% of people make money and don't complain they are the 1% of people who are bitching about not having enough money and last time you don't get paid to protest
What are the people on wall street going to do??? All of you aren't going to get money. Wall street is just a group of people trying to make money for themselves. Why not occupy the White house??
If in their fantasy world the world's wealth gets re distribute, in 10 years 1% of the people would have most of the wealth again, if we look for the responsible people for where we are we need to look into a mirror and realized this.
I support capitalism and I will always will. These protesters should be a productive part of society instead of whining and complaining. The people who made it to the top percent made it because of hard work, success and never giving up. I applaud everyone who made it to CEO's, presidents, vice presidents of a corporation because these positions shows the hard work and determination they had to get there.
@overbrookXXX Well you didn't have to take the money, you could have died, that's an option. Whenever money is lent it is expected back, it's not fantasy, give without expecting something in return, that's not how corporations stay in business.
US BANK SUCKS!! They keep treating people like everyone is a crook!! your a horrible bank and everyone should boycot and drive you out of business!! Boycot US Bank february 14th 2012 and forever!!!!!!! DOWN US BANK NOW AND FOREVER!!!!
Everyone has their own reason to Occupy;not all of them want to take money from the rich. I personally think that America is making it impossible for many people to live. The cost of a house, healthy food, and a good school is way to expensive. It's nearly impossible to get out of poverty if you were born into it, and it's not fair.
Another thing is, people want their taxes to go to useful things such as education and charity, not war.
People think the need so much more money than what they really do need. Just because someone might have three houses, a boat, and four cars, doesnt mean that just because you have a small house and work at the grocery store you should have what the wealthy also have..
Communism has never worked in history. look at Russia, Cuba, and North Korea they are all shit holes. if these lazy mooching hippies get what they want America is screwed. oh and btw the 99 percent is more like ten percent of America. they are stupid Commies. look at Russia do you want to live in the streets and not have heat or power? those protesters should move out of their parents basement and get a job.
@mountielane actually you wouldn't have made a dime. They would have taken it from you by force because they think it already belongs to them. Thats their way of thinking.
Are Banks really to blame for all the americans that improperly handled their finance? Maybe it was the lack of public education for not teaching these people economics and instead tried to shove liberal values down their throat?
After reading these comments many of you are ignorant and lack an education, this protest is not mainly about how they are unemployed but it is a outrage against corporate greed and how the banks had been bailed out but people are still homeless after beening foreclosed by these banks how they influence the government to their best interest by what they call lobbying remeber the best way to beat ignorance is education
@MasterManny187 Do you have any idea what led to the banks throwing people out of their house because they didn't pay?
Let me put it this was: if you buy a vacume cleaner and pay for it in chunks shouldn't the person who sold you the vacuum cleaner have a right to take it back? Especially if he was forced to sell it to you.
@UrbyKris Culturally, liberals have ruined this country by embedding a sense of self entitlement, unrealistic expectations and instant gratification. They're raising their kids to have the same mentality.
What the fuck ever happened to "paying your bills on time"? or "self accountability"? I can't stand these liberal, lazy ass morons.
@jjrants You clearly don't know what the hell the movement is about. They want the bankers who collapsed the economy by making risky loans to be arrested. They bribed politicians so that they wouldn't make regulations for bankers. So they want the bankers and politicians to be imprisoned
Read bloomberg news report (nov 27) on 7.7 trillion dollar bailout (11X tarp) by federal reserve of large elite banks in 08 and 09 - allowing them to steal hundreds of billions from you.
The illegal private federal reserve fabricated 7.7 trillion (11 x tarp-see nov 27 bloomberg article) in 08 and 09 and lent to large, select banks both domestically and foreign (including billiions to bank of libya?). This allowed bankers to steal hundreds of billions from you and to consolidate their wealth - not through capitalsim but through fascism and monetary usury.
The government belong to goldman sachs/jpm/nwo etc. and does not work for the people - who pay for it.
this is so depressing :( is there no hope for our country? there are this many people mislead? poor people. just wanting robin hood to save them from themselves. the wonderful thing about the usa is you can come here and do whatever you want because opportunity is here. my best friend in high school was from the dominican rebublic. he moved here when he was 4 and his parents had barely anything when they moved here. they are probably the most wealthy person in my town now which isn't small.
I didn't put myself through college while working full-time to donate my income to people like this. In comparison, while I spent my time working/going to school, these people spend theirs like this. Liberals want other people to pay for the choices THEY make.
@Blatio1 Everyone pays taxes, not just rich people. rich people should just pay MORE taxes because they are rich. it's common sense. they'll still be rich. why be such a fucking pig about it?
@Blatio1 Don´t get yourself fooled. You are not in the 1% that controls the 90% of the wealth, and, even though you crack your ass off, studying, working, linking important people ass, you wont get to that 1%;chances are that not even to the 9%. Thats what this movement is looking for, a equitable way to distribute the wealth acumulated EXCESSIVELY in FEW hands.
@Heinekeem Are you aware of the amount of people representing the 400 richest Americans who started off in what you consider "the 99%?" It's very presumptuous of you to say "you won't get to that 1% or 9%," because many people have. America's free enterprise system has the most examples out of any other nation or economy in the world, in which people have found the opportunities to escape poverty. Who are you talking about exactly? What is the model economy in your opinion?
@Blatio1 It's funny because we live in a society where it is almost necessary to go to college to be successful/make a substantial amount of money in the future, yet theyre basically impossible to afford for the shrinking middle class and poor class. Our entire economy is a contradiction for new generations. And these people arent occupying people like you. Theyre occupying the unfair economic tax rates and the wealthiest one percent that achieved illegally through scams and corrupt techniques
@Blatio1 Totally agree my friend. I worked hard in high school, got some grants, took out loans, worked full time and after many years, got my Doctorate in Bio-Chemistry. Why should I not get a good salary, I worked hard, apparently they don't think you need to work hard to achieve any longer, it's sad. They seem to think that the criminals are in Washington, than why are they at Wall Street?
@Blatio1 A lot of these people would LOVE to be working full time pal, I know I'm LUCKY to be working full time and going to school. But I'm still smart enough to be supporting this movement.
@Blatio1 Negative, I'm assuming you didn't even watch the whole video. you couldn't have come to that conclusion otherwise. I'm not a liberal and I support their cause, we aren't even capitalists anymore... in true capitalism, our government wouldnt have bailed out these wall street thugs. Instead, the government gave the $9trillion of the peoples' hard earned tax money to the same crooks who orchestrated this collapse & extended bush tax breaks for the rich. Think for yourself...
Capitalism is based on consumerism, individualism and competition. Our empathy has expanded from tribes, to theologies to nation states. Why is it so hard to believe in a structure that supports compassion, empathy and cooperation? We are VERY early in our social evolution, and to think that capitalism is as good as it gets is to undermine faith in humanity. To give is an infinitely more valuable trait then to consume. Let's build on this. Love to each and every one of you regardless perspective
You Americans are strange... Why the fuck don't you just follow our European example and establish a social market economy? Fuck capitalism and fuck communism!
This pisses me off sooo much. They are already on welfare and there begging for money from people who are working there asses off. This is why americas economy is dropping.
I don't get it these people get section 8, welfare, food stamps, etc. What more do they want. These people up in the corps didn't get there by sitting around. If people don't like the capitalist society in the U.S. they should see what other countries are like, those people would be starving on the streets.
Meek means to know that you can't do it without God... or at least others... But quoted from the Bible... "The meek shall inherit the Earth" means those that know they can't do it without God. FYI
Matthew6:24No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money
Leviticus25:37 You must not lend them money at interest or sell them food at a profit.
Ezekiel22:12 In you are people who accept bribes to shed blood; you take interest and make a profit from the poor. You extort unjust gain from your neighbors. And you have forgotten me, declares the Sovereign LORD.
“No one canserve twomasters. Either you will hate the one and lovethe other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”
In you are people who accept bribes to shed blood; you take interest and make a profit from the poor. You extort unjustgain from yourneighbors. And youhave forgotten me, declares the Sovereign LORD.
You spend your life on welfare lines Or looking for handouts Why don't you go find a job Uncle Sam takes half my pay So you can live for free I got a family and bills to pay No one hands money to me How come it's minorities who cry Things are too tough On TV with their gold chains Claim they don't have enough I say make them clean the sewers Don't take no resistance If they don't like it go to hell And cut their public assistance
What a bunch of IDIOTS. Parroting a bunch of Marxist, post-60's talking points that they don't even understand. YOung, old, Black, White, Beige --- I guess IDIOTS come in all colors.
happy that a revolution is happening, but that one lady who wanted democracy and turn the country back to how it used to be is actually a Republic. The Law. It is what protects you from the bully bankers. And the redistribution of wealth to all people is a communist form of gov. Nobody gets anything really.

7 trillion dollars of taxpayer money was given to the banks after they failed, the biggest welfare for the rich in history. Now, the bankers are making record profits while not loaning anything to small business. Also, the wage of hard working people, middle class went down 3% over the last 20 years, the wage for the top bracket increased 500%. The middle class pays 40% in taxes, the rich pay 15%. That is redistribution of wealth..TO THE TOP! That is what occupy movement is all about.
For 18-years I worked for a company but when the economy began to shake, the company brought a new CEO in. She was there for a big 6-months when she and her filthy board cronies did their thing; they voted her $6.4-million and she did the clever thing of recouping it by doing a "study" that showed HUNDREDS of us -- that were loyal to the company and helped make it a huge success! -- were being overpaid! We got fired and now she says on YT: "Our employees know they have leadership they can trust"
Libtards! OMG this country is fucked up. Do you still think teachers deserve more money after this example of intelligence demonstrated by these retards?
((BANG!!)) the federal reserve shoots the native in the head.
Money is a Fraternity of Fascism, Inbreeding, Constant War Mongering and the forceful spreading of the dynasty lifestyle (ie money, sex, drugs, hired assasins, and selfishness)
A complete and utter bunch of ill-informed morons. Those of them that have a job, what are they doing wasting their time? Those that don't are just jumping on the band wagon as they have nothing else to do!
So they have been sitting in parks and occupying cities for like 3 months now and have accomplished nothing but costing millions and destroying public property. What are they still doing there exactly? Getting high and beating on drums
@timmyaki feeding hungry people, ministering to the poor, counseling those who've been so stressed by terrible conditions that they're slipping over the edge is what we've been doing. all the while helping those facing illegal foreclosures by criminal bankers. what are you doing?
If they want change then how about they actually participate in our government by voting and attempting to create new legislature? If they could actually find one linear thing to protest against, issue by issue, the amount of people here who could vote and lobby as an interest group would be overwhelming and I think they would succeed. Or elect one or multiple persons among themselves as a leader/s of their group to become a figure/s of authority within the government who has their motives?
@Copiophonica well, at least you said all that without insulting. so, i'll respond with what, if you're over thirty, you already know:: many of us have been doing exactly what you suggest for decades. unfortunately we've had to vote for the lesser evil consistently. people who actually might do what's right don't have the money to run for office. it shouldn't take money. publicly funded elections, the end of corporate paid lobbying, and enforcement of regulations would be a good start.
@wiseoldsnail Yes, I wasn't intending to insult anyone. I see a lot of opportunity for a movement which I think is lacking direction/organization. I agree with your points.
The anti war movement in the 70' brought the soldiers home. yes i agree with that but why dont you mention how those same people spit in the face of men who lost their arms and legs when they came home.
@ilovemesomechicken THANK YOU! I thought the exact same thing. I've heard stories about my Father's experiences when he came back from Nam, they were not happy times for him I assure you.
Look at the sign at 0:58 ... When you just print more money the value of that note decreases to a point where the "money" is not even worth the paper it is printed on. Another perfect example of the OWS morons.
@SkiingWookie Don't get it why so many people thumbed you down... probably more socialist morons who think that the gov't only needs to print more money to solve all problems.
@SkiingWookie how is the person carrying a sign saying exactly what you just said considered by you to be a 'moron?' that's precisely the point of the sign, but maybe you didn't understand that.
@SkiingWookie when just about everybody can go to college, and everybody can get a student loan, and colleges offer coarses in tv shows, then college degrees arnt worth anything either.
a lot of people go to college, but the protesters are proof that a lot of college kids are stupid.
@SkiingWookie Are you dumb? It said "resources are limited, money is printed." Meaning they were saying the printing of money should be limited as well. It didn't say "print unlimited money."
Redistribute the wealth that people work for. Die hippies your entitlement attitude, and the government that supports it, have driven the economy into the shitter. Way to go you communist hippie loosers. GET A JOB
@m4huntin get a job get a job. ive seen thousands of comments like that. try something else. your get a job tactic is not working anymore. get a job that pays minimum wage while taxes keep increasing. nah id rather go rob a rich person. at least then ill be giving to the poor.
@m4huntin excuse me but wasn't it the investment banks on wall street that caused the economy to go down into the shitter? (I'm being sarcastic, I know this is true)
You must be pretty rich to advocate for a society in which the private sector controls the government. Unless we get money out of politics, we are going to see situations deteriorate for the middle class and the poor, while those at the top will benefit.
What am I saying? its obvious you don't give a shit about average Americans.
@m4huntin Telling the protesters to get a job is like screaming at Africans and saying "JUST EAT. THERE WOULDN'T BE A HUNGER PROBLEM IF YOU WOULD JUST EAT."
@OnTheToiletBeyotch that is a terrible analogy, people in Africa are hungry because there's not enough food over there, so telling them to JUST EAT would be pointless and wrong. there are plenty of jobs available here, so telling them to get a job makes sense but these people are just too lazy ignorant to want to work for what they are givin
So the fuck what. They WORKED hard to get to where they are today. It's called the "American dream". Or should we all work hard just to redistribute our wealth to people that don't deserve it????????
These people don't even know what they are talking about. They use catch words, wanting us to become awake, when they themselves don't even have a plan for change. The movement is nothing but an unorganized hodgepodge of varying ideas. How does one expect to implement change when the only thing agreed upon is change itself? I see nothing but a group of idealists with no plan or grounding in reality.
@redreliance1 i guess you might have to look more closely, if that's all you see. you might have to actually engage with the people. the hodgepodge of varying ideas is the raw material for creation of a better world. the fact that we all are so different, with various experience, is the beauty. we disagree on so much, yet agree on the basic tenets::: no money in politics, honest representation, and a corporation is not a person, for starters. education and health care....
@WanderinRastaMan insted you wast your time trying to split people apart and pit them against each other to fight. HOW THE FUCK IS THAT HELPING THIS COUNTRY??? you have done nothing but cause problems for people that just want to live there life and work so they can provide for their family. their has never been class warfare in this country and just because your ass cant make millions of dollars you want to bring people down that can which makes you pathetic and not American!
@usterdboy those just living their lives and working to provide for their families are working twice as hard as necessary to feed the greed of those lording it over us. if you don't know this already, calling us pathetic and not american doesn't change the reality. if you're having to work more than full time to pay your bills, who is reaping the benefit of your labor? not your kids.
What exactly are they protesting about? What proof do they have of the accusations they are making? Someone enlighten me, because these protests seem nonsensical and as if they have no definitive goal.
@Copiophonica Maybe you should use the internet that you CLEARLY have access to, and find the answers yourself. They've made accusations, now go and see what proof you can find in support of their claims, as WELL as against it.
@WanderinRastaMan Assume this. I'm intelligent enough, and not completely lazy enough to have already done some reading on this. The reason for my questioning was to get a real time answer from those arguing over it. Do you have an answer to my question yourself? If your so zealous about Occupy then I'm Sure you can share some enlightening facts. First though, consider whether or not you're being a huge asshole. Then, after you've come to a resolve, make a nice little reply.
@Copiophonica c'mon, are you saying you don't know that 5000 soldiers had their homes taken from them by the banks while they were off fighting in illegal wars? are you saying you don't know that a huge percentage of homeless people are veterans? do you not know that banks intentionally set (un or undereducated, inexperienced) people up with loans the banks knew would default? this info is readily available. goals::: equality, justice, fair application of law...
@wiseoldsnail No, I never specified whether or not I agreed with the reasons they were there, or whether or not I felt they were true. My comment was more rhetorical than actual inquiry... I just think they lack direction with all the will power and support they have.
These are teh uninformed, the uneducated, the inexperienced, the unwashed, the unshaven, the not sober filth and zombies the left have created out of the young, the stupid, the beggars. They are only tools. Fodder. The elitest left are apart of teh 1% and yet they should be exempt from being targeted. Wait... Obama was booed by these people.. nvm. HEE HEE
@TheWanderinSoul Wall Street millionaires are mostly Democrats. Plus, the majority of the banking, manufacturing, and even the film industry are controlled by Democrats. So, when it's election time, these dudes contribute heavily to the DNC. Do you think that Obama and the Dems in Congress would initiate new policies that would change the way Wall Street does business? It would be like biting the hand that feeds them. Want change for the little guy? Vote Republican.
@oscarashes Both sides are corrupt. Are you seriously trying to say the republicans aren't just as guilty as every other politician? Sure, Ron Paul SEEMS to be a good bet, but ONLY because of his APPARENT honesty. However, he's still a republican capitalist. We don't need elected officials. They've OBVIOUSLY proven they can't handle resisting temptation. The PEOPLE need to be deciding things, not just a select few. Capitalism is just privatized communism.
Judging from their words and facial expressions these OWS "useful idiots" have no idea what they are talking about and what their "ideas" would do if implemented.
@TheWanderinSoul These OWS fools are being used by communists to start the bloody revolution. Marxists did that nearly 100 years ago in Russia and murdered over 120 million people in the the name of insane utopia. All kind of trash gravitates to these OWS gangs of marxists. Yes, I am quite aware what is being done. Groups of undereducated brainwashed youngsters are being manipulated by hard core communist community organizers.
@MarekK64 i'm not undereducated, brainwashed, nor young. many of us are educated, employed, active community members. from where are you getting your information: fox news?
So let me see if I have this straight. Protest... Wake up people who don't want to wake up... Get arrested... Get your name on a list as a protester so when the NWO tries to take over they know where to start their man hunt... You saw what happened to JFK, MLK, Bob Marley, John Lennon, Michael Jackson... need I continue? Protesting is ineffective and antiquated. They want you to protest because it doesn't effectively create the right kind of change. It only creates chaos-what THEY want. Peace.
Stop Tax Havens and impose global minimum wage.

If you complain about how much these CEO's are making, then make your own business and become a CEO, that way you can employ other people and probably make them a CEO too.
if the CEO's business fails a lot of people lose jobs. It's as simple as that. If a business id not making profit, we're F&*^%

Everyone has their own reason to Occupy;not all of them want to take money from the rich. I personally think that America is making it impossible for many people to live. The cost of a house, healthy food, and a good school is way to expensive. It's nearly impossible to get out of poverty if you were born into it, and it's not fair.
Another thing is, people want their taxes to go to useful things such as education and charity, not war.

The illegal private federal reserve fabricated 7.7 trillion (11 x tarp-see nov 27 bloomberg article) in 08 and 09 and lent to large, select banks both domestically and foreign (including billiions to bank of libya?).

Capitalism is based on consumerism, individualism and competition. Our empathy has expanded from tribes, to theologies to nation states. Why is it so hard to believe in a structure that supports compassion, empathy and cooperation? We are VERY early in our social evolution, and to think that capitalism is as good as it gets is to undermine faith in humanity. To give is an infinitely more valuable trait then to consume.

7 trillion dollars of taxpayer money was given to the banks after they failed, the biggest welfare for the rich in history. Now, the bankers are making record profits while not loaning anything to small business. Also, the wage of hard working people, middle class went down 3% over the last 20 years, the wage for the top bracket increased 500%. The middle class pays 40% in taxes, the rich pay 15%. That is redistribution of wealth..TO THE TOP! That is what occupy movement is all about.

Judging from their words and facial expressions these OWS "useful idiots" have no idea what they are talking about and what their "ideas" would do if implemented.

@MarekK64 These people are more aware than you could ever hope to be. Your ignorant comment alone proves that.

@TheWanderinSoul These OWS fools are being used by communists to start the bloody revolution. Marxists did that nearly 100 years ago in Russia and murdered over 120 million people in the the name of insane utopia. All kind of trash gravitates to these OWS gangs of marxists. Yes, I am quite aware what is being done. Groups of undereducated brainwashed youngsters are being manipulated by hard core communist community organizers.

So let me see if I have this straight. Protest... Wake up people who don't want to wake up... Get arrested... Get your name on a list as a protester so when the NWO tries to take over they know where to start their man hunt... You saw what happened to JFK, MLK, Bob Marley, John Lennon, Michael Jackson... need I continue? Protesting is ineffective and antiquated. They want you to protest because it doesn't effectively create the right kind of change. It only creates chaos-what THEY want. Peace.
