I wonder how much money YOU have, and why aren't YOUR doors open to the homelss??

[BulboLives]

Never got a loan or a job from a street person or a crack whore. Never got robbed by a bank, but have been robbed by street thugs. Been with my bank since 1984, never been ripped off.

@yakyakyak69 Fail to regulate the market and resources and power will concentrate in the hands of a few, and they will (and have) buy out the government

We are here because of 30 years of deregulation

[yakyakyak69]

@antipyrene We are here because of 100 years of political cronyism and Keynesian style "central planning" which causes political cronyism.

Wall Street KNEW they would be bailed out so they GAMBLED.

Wall Street KNEW that mortgages were backed by GOV'T Fanny & Freddy!

Wall Street KNEW that the "Community Reinvestment Act" FORCED banks to give loans to people who could not afford them. The CRA was passed by "progressives" who believe that everyone is ENTITLED to the labors or others.

[veksink]

@yakyakyak69 didn't republicans control congress when the CRA was passed? didn't newt gingrich make a ton of cash advising fannie and freddie? the issue is bigger than left or right, progressive or conservative..the issue is the mega-rich buying politicians and lobbying congress to write laws that benefit the rich...

[yakyakyak69]

@veksink You're STILL playing THEIR "party" tricks.

Party doesn't matter!

Give ANY politician or bureaucrat power to "redistribute & regulate" OTHER people’s money & choices and they will ALWAYS benefit THEIR “special interest” campaign backers; Financial-Industrial Complex, Military-Industrial Complex, Marxist Unions, Giant "Green" Corps, Big Oil, Pharma, Insurance etc.

Statism = Corrupt Political Cronyism.

We MUST force politicians to HONOR the Constitutional limitations on gov't.

[veksink]

@yakyakyak69 actually I was pointing out the fact that republicans AND democrats are both responsible for screwing the country, you were the one in the post I originally responded to that was blaming progressives for the CRA...

[yakyakyak69]

@veksink Keynesiaism is Central Planning (CRA) which is Socialism.

BOTH Collective-Communism and Corporate-Fascism are Socialism.

When the taxpayer's funds are redistributed to those who won't work or want to get paid more than PURE competition and the FREE market dictates... that's Socialism.

When the taxpayer's funds are redistributed to corporations... that's Fascism.

When the taxpayer's funds are redistributed to coporations to "create union jobs", that's Collective-Fascism!

[Zakdayak]

@yakyakyak69 Most of what you just said is bullshit. Keynesianism is not Socialism. The Gov't did not own the means of production from Roosevelt/Truman through Eisenhower on through Nixon. Those were the Keynesian years. Central planning occurs in all economies. Grow up. Fascism is more than distributing our money to corporations. I can tell you they busted the Unions in Detroit, not that a dim wit like you would object, because you don't care how good they are at raising middle class wages.

[yakyakyak69]

@Zakdayak Ownership is not important. CONTROL is important.

When others CONTROL you or your property via Redistribution & Regulation, you don't REALLY own yourself or your "property". You are simply allowed to use your body or your "things" as long as you use them in the way you are ALLOWED to.

Both primary forms of gov't use Keynesian central planning socialism (Communism & Fascism) STRIP from you the free choices which make ownership possible.

Democracy is GANG RAPE!

[Zakdayak]

@yakyakyak69 Ownership isn't important? Says who? Oh yes, says you because it doesn't fit your biases. You'd rather scream "Socialism!" at the top of your lungs than challenge the banks, the elites, the real people who own this country. Its people like you, people who don't know anything about politics, or gov'ts actually operate, who've been keeping the corporations foot over out necks for the last thirty years - all the while ignoring their class warfare. Democracy is accountability!

[tomitstube]

this is quite good, nice adaption of "signs" by the five man electrical band.

pretty much expresses my mood.

take the whole fucking corrupt thing down, there's nothing to salvage, the whole thing is bought and working to oppress you. believe it brothers and sisters, they signed another so-called "free trade" deal just today, while the wall street protests go on, they are oblivious to you, to us, the are oblivious to their greed and our democracy.

they are in contempt of freedom.

[WeirdLiberalHead]

Good one! Occupy DC!

[joelito101]

REMEMBER, Government = Govern(Control) + Ment(Mind) = Mind Control...Do we need Government?

[antipyrene]

@joelito101 If you want to live in country with no government, move to Somalia

[joelito101]

@antipyrene until the controlling forces reach there, no thanks, I'm making my stand here, now.

[RepublicansAreNazis]

Power to the People !!! God Bless the Wall Street Occupy !!! Down with the Koch Bros., Teabaggers, & The GOP !!!

[mrx0066600]

I think a major way to change this is to create a system of campaigning where everyone gets heard and doesn't have to worry about advertising their campaign. Where we boil it down further and further until two remain to be picked form.

Until we make it illegal to bribe politicians, they will be bought by the highest bidder. That being the 1%

Until then Ideals are not what politicians run on, money is. Until we get money out of politics and make it illegal to buy our politicians.

Fight on!

[seamoremonster]

Harness the Anger...Maintain the Rage. It's time to take it back. Impeach the Supreme Court. Impeach fucking Washington.

[quickboat22]

@seamoremonster By this you mean Obama/Pelosi right?

[seamoremonster]

@quickboat22 Did you notice anything partisan in that statement?

[quickboat22]

@seamoremonster Yes, completely!

[BulboLives]

@seamoremonster First impeach Obama, who stole the election from Hillary

[doctordude]

The whole fucking thing is coming down!!!!!!!!!

[quickboat22]

@doctordude Yea, whatever. The only ones who will suffer if this "does go down" are the ones suffering now, (the poor) only they will suffer more under this "new" model. There always have been the rich and poor. Only now in America the rich are not hell bent on killing the poor as they were in most communist societies.

[TheFrankFactor]

@quickboat22 Wow, that's some shitty fuckin' logic ya got there qb22, LOL! Better to suck dick and shut up huh? That's the spirit! I guess that's what has always moved civil rights forward -NOT-! Stay on your knees if you like but I'm standing up. (PS Industrial Revolution, 40 hour work week, weekends off, workplace safety... LOOK IT UP!)

[quickboat22]

@TheFrankFactor My point is that with this "movement" protesting the "rich" or "WallStreet" it is selective in its ire. Only rich right wingers are "bad" and the rich lefties are great. Thats BULL! Lets quit the class warfare shit and get right to the crux of the matter shall we? Its about communism over capitalism for most of these shills. Throw our Constitution out the window if you ask 90 percent of them!

[antipyrene]

@quickboat22 Who the fuck is talking communism? At most the American left is advocating Denmark, not North Korea

And the Constitution does not enshrine unlimited capitalism, it enshrines a republic where government is answerable to the people, unlimited capitalism inevitably leads to plutocracy answerable only to the corporate elite

[quickboat22]

@antipyrene Hey I can read the signs that say communist party USA! If you dipsticks would not have demonized the Tea Party, their message was similar asking for smaller, smarter government, you would have had them on board. But No. You had to label fellow Americans pissed at governments handouts to corporations, terrorists and racists. Reap what you sow..commie!
