Bernie Sanders on Occupy Wall Street Protests - Countdown w/ Keith Olbermann 9/29/11

[h2opower]

From AE911truth we learned that 9/11 is not what it was made out to be. We can see that the banks and those that have rose up around them have taken over Governments and the police that are sworn to protect the people. To get the Banks out of our or any other government we have to place the original 13th amendment above all others for that amendment stops the corruption at it's source. If your reading this and do not know what the original 13th Amendment is please look it up.

@Vote3rdParty You're dealing with Paultards. They really think he's not a bought and sold politician. Good luck.

[MrDjwage]

Every working class person with a 401K relies on the stock market just as much as corporations. Think before you do, is it really Wall Street that's the problem or is it the politicians on both sides that get us into these problems. The only reason corporations have an advantage there is because throughout the years they have been allowed special arrangements by our govt. (like trading after hours) To those that think Democrats get it and help us, why haven't they ever done something about it

[AynManRand]

We are going to build an infrastructure because some lawyers are gonna write a bill?  How about reducing taxes, eliminating nonsensical fees and regulations? Or maybe we should DEMAND that producers participate in the "productive economy".

[Vote3rdParty]

@AynManRand - Yeah those gosh darn regulations that get the French high speed internet, over 100 channels of tv, and unlimited calls throughout Europe for under $40. If only the went by the system of free market monopoly and eliminating competition then they would have a much improved $300 for those services. Stupid socialists!

[AynManRand]

@Vote3rdParty I like the free Voip feature, I could call grandma from my laptop. Anyway dummie free markets do not develop monopolies without government sanction. If you can't make a product better that someone else, how are you gonna survive?  That's right you won't. You don't need a regulation you need a productive interested population.

[Vote3rdParty]

@AynManRand - "free markets do not develop monopolies without government sanction"

The "free" market itself isn't possible without government sanction. Private ownership doesn't exist without state protection. If you look at any capitalist country where workers try to take over closed down industries, the elitist capitalist have the state come down and kick them out, forbidding them from an income or livelihood. How are you going to break up the monopolies and their economic hitmen?

[MrDjwage]

@Vote3rdParty The same way the U.S.S.R did it! They took over the regulation of everything and Quality of life improved, there were no monopolies, their economy boomed and everyone had a good job with fair wages, and all corruption ceased to exist. Actually, the unemployment was only 1%-2%, but the govt. was terrible at business. NEEDING to spend about $88 billion more than it could make to keep the economy working. Watch Doctor Zhivago and see if it looks more appealing than what we've got.

[FitnessByMatt]

@Vote3rdParty So you're claiming it's government intervention which is the problem. True capitalists agree with you which is why we don't want more of it.

[FitnessByMatt]

@Vote3rdParty So you want more government intervention? I guess you liked when the government took your money to bail out the banks then? Yeah, that's government intervention too.

[passion8leader]

We need to also put the pressure on the Boehner and the GOP House in Congress. THEY call all of the shots now. THEY are the enemy who protects corporations!

[MrDjwage]

@passion8leader How does 1/3 of our government really control it, and why didn't Obama and the democratic controlled Congress do something a year ago when they had all the power? Maybe they're in it also. Look at campaign donations. Do you think companies like Continental Airlines and Goldman Sachs donated to Obama's campaign so he would impose stricter regulations on them? Aren't Multinational Bulge Bracket Investment Banking and Securities firms like Sachs what this is all about?

[passion8leader]

This is a war of the poor middle-class (the left) against greedy, corrupt corporations. (the right.) Corporations are ALWAYS backed by the GOP. Hell, the GOP are the corporations!

[starlight1946]

Thanks Keith, Bernie Sanders is a Congressman who really gives a hoot about the average Americans. Have him on more often.

[samantha34ize]

ok that 6 bank control 60% of our eceonmy is scary

[7uc4s]

The problem is in the words "Loan", "Interest", "FED". Need yesterday, now and tomorrow: Interest free and no debt currency. Bankers rules the world couse they have gold, they have treasury bonds, they issue the money and control its quantity flowing in the economy. Money is becoming scarce, its becoming a commodity. All politicians who fought against the private central bank in the history of US was deposed or murdered, as Licon was.

[y0utUBeH8r]

fuuuck that, operation occupy isnt left, or right, its anti BOTH because theyre both the same damn thing, GET THE MONEY OUT OF POLITICS< idiots .,., its not about left or right, red or blue , get over that shit and realize its the BANKS who need to step away from our representatives,, get a clue WAKE UP!

[mekaniepokalanego]

Wall Street and City of London is the true Ground Zero for economical terrorism against humanity. It is no War on Terror led bt some cavemen. It is War on You led by the global banking system!

[snipzor]

It's not really the left though, it's filled with left-wingers, young people who aren't political but who took a Marxism class and think they knew everything, and Austrian economists who think they started this whole thing who think the solution is complete deregulation.

And Bernie, right at this moment, protesting wall street (Especially at wall street) is too little too late. Protesting Washington on the otherhand would have been smarter.

[melissa4444444]

For the love of God please let America have a social democratic/democratic socialist party. They need it to counter what has happened in America for decades. This is the only way to make sure the middle class will grow again!

[plasmar1]

moving along... nothing to see here

[PompousPreacher]

If Bernie Sanders were President he would probably deny climate change, gut social programs and expand the Patriot act.

[CECOAdvocate]

YOU'RE THE VOICE OF AMERICA

The numbers of protesters will increase over the next few days. Unemployment numbers will come out on 10/1/11 and the truth will be exposed. The Gov. is finished trying to deceive us with misleading statistics and admit the economy’s unrest.

KEEP IT UP OCCUPY WALL STREET! THE NUMBER WILL GROW!

[gfudge76]

Keith is just as bad as the right!!!!! Don't call it the left call it THE PEOPLE!!!!

[Vote3rdParty]

@gfudge76 - How is Keith just as bad as the right? Keith doesn't lie like FOX does daily. And let's be serious, no right-wingers want these protests to succeed. The "left" is about 2/3rds of the population, because at least 2/3rds want to raise taxes on the rich. The same numbers exist for getting money out of politics, and not attacking social programs and unions.

[martinez85]

@Vote3rdParty Its not about right or left. Thats what your missing. If you don't get out of that mindset you will never get it. It is the 99% vs the 1%. Left/right is bullshit.

[Vote3rdParty]

@martinez85 - It's not 99% though. I've seen the polls, and 23% have a negative view of the protests, while a whopping 40% don't even have an opinion. I agree they are representing the 99%, but some of the actual 99% don't support their self-interests. I'm just judging by the signs I've seen and from videos people are posting as well as what I saw at Occupy Boston. The sentiment is very anti-corporate, and even anti-capitalist.

[martinez85]

@Vote3rdParty You can't go by signs you read or what the "sentiment is". I would say it is alot more accurate to listen to the statement they gave to Keith Olbermann which was read on tv. In a crowd of thousands there will always be different views, a few weirdos... ect. What i am saying is this protest transcends left/right.

[blazestudios23]

@martinez85 Yup 100% true, this Right Vs Left is just media made up propaganda to keep people distracted and fighting each other, you give them a team to join and they will irrationally defend it. Both sides work for the corporate wall street pigs. No corporate owned media station will give all the real info.

[AkiraFollower]

@Vote3rdParty Keith tells some truth but then he puts a bullshit spin like its all the right wing. The left and right are working together in the corruption. This movement wants to end the left right corporate divide. SO yes, Keith is betraying the American people.

[AkiraFollower]

@gfudge76 I concur, We the people not we the left or we the right or we the corporate/banking oligarchy
