Representative government is NOT democracy, it's Corrupt-Cronyism. Politicians, like actors are paid to show up and do as they are told while being convincing enough to elicit an emotional response. Whom ever is paying the most is who the system works for. Only when The*People have direct input as to HOW their money is spent, will there be a shift toward True Democracy. Individual Directed Capitalization 65% of YOUR TAX contribution directed to areas of funding of YOUR CHOICE Power 2 The*People.
Brothers and sisters-the time of austerity is upon us. Get used to living in the streets. Get used to having nothing-no education-no jobs-no heath care-no social security-no retirement-no home-no future. When the banks and republicans take everything that's exactly what you'll have-nothing!
This guys standing up and trying to change our system for the better. You right wing tea baggers are like yesterday's newspaper. When was the last time you wrapped yourselves around a fish head? You're irrelevent. History has put you guys and your right wing delusions in the trash. If you don't support the people then I guess you support CEOs that make 45 times the average wage of a worker? That's really smart.
When did a american become so blind to his fellow man be wether have some damn more currency them himself!
You arrogant creature. My father worked his ass off to feed my family and evade your damn union thugs who steal money and enrich their own interests like warlords of old! We are not rich, but I be damned to sell myself or my kin to thugs and slavers who prey like they do on working folk who work and not expect a free handout.
NOOO not this kid!! He has zero idea about what's going on. Watch Adam Kokesh's video called "AVTM gets an economics lesson at Occupy DC" and see how ridiculous this boy is. He claims he wants to be a "megaphone for the people" but does not allow people with differing ideas to speak their minds. Occupy DC is the New Mexico of Occupy movements; it stinks.
@capitalismforme the fact that you have no idea what we are even talking about, or what I AM trying to prove, is proof enough to show that you have a lack intelligence.
Not to mention your attempt at spelling "apparently".
For the record, I never once said that YOU are unintelligent. However, if you have low confidence in your own intelligence, it's not surprising that you would assume that.
There are more options than just socialism, communism and capitalistic corporatism. We have enough resources, technology and information to start abolishing the monetary system, taking a survey of all the resources in the world and giving everyone the opportunity to access anything they want, instead of ownership. I know it sounds far out there for many people, but its what will happen in the future and we need to start going in the direction. ALL current systems are outdated and corrupt.
Everyone needs to check out Jacque Fresco and the Venus Project. They offer a fair, unbiased, in depth solution to the monetary system. We have to evolve and now is the time. We all need to educate ourselves with this incredible tool called the internet. Jacque is a 95 year old social engineer, inventor, and philosopher who invented the mag-lev train and other great things. Give everyone access to whatever they want, but no ownership. Its NOT anything near socialism, its WAY beyond it.
I'd like the company i work for to pay me and all the other workers so much that they barely can stay in business. Then we'll cry we want more pay and benefits and finish them off, causing the business to fail so we are all jobless...... THEN we'll all fight over who gets to play "Call of Duty" first.........
FUCK LABOR UNIONS, THAT'S WHY US BUSINESSES ARE MANUFACTURING IN OTHER COUNTRIES---FUCK U ALL TEAMSTERS AND ALL U FUCKING THUGS WHO BELONG TO LABOR UNIONS.
I am a 14 year old boy and for as far as i con remember the U.S has been fucked up and i thing this is great! For once in my life i want the U.S to be the great country that it says it is. The eggs are already cracked, lets not just throw them away!

It means our country is heading in the wrong direction, but I think most Americans agree on this. However, what they don't agree on is WHAT to do about it. From what I've seen, most OWS'ers want the government to have MORE power, while the solution is for the government to have LESS power. Corporations BUY politicians to pass laws on their behalf to take away the freedom of both individuals & small businesses so they can't compete with them...cont...
...and on the other hand, Individuals vote for politicians who will STEAL from other individuals in order to give it to them. Either way, it's governmental power at the core of the problem. We need to have a Separation of Economics & State, just like we need to have a Separation of Church & State.
However, I do like the fact that many OWS'ers want to get rid of The Fed.
@sgapplebee But we do agree that the major problem is private-government corruption, right? We should build on that agreement. Get corp and union money out of elections, and perhaps (although this does impinge on personal freedoms) outlaw the revolving door of lobbying? Sound good?
I agree. However, I don't think we should outlaw lobbying because it would violate the Right to free speech, but I do think I have a possible solution. We should outlaw government officials from ACCEPTING any type of money, gifts, campain contributions...etc, from ANYONE. That way, we could end the influence of lobbyists without violating the Right of free speech.
We didn't even have lobbyists until WWI, so we would do just fine without them.
@sgapplebee Sounds good. It's such a shame people on the right and left have been so divided by a political and media class that profits from that division.
@sgapplebee We're not sure if you're a Friedman, Paul or Schiffite. Perhaps you're not. But in case you are, beware the arguements of free market ideologues. We have never had a free market in this country, not before 1915, not before 1913, and these guys know that. The best we can do, the best we have ever done, is to point out and get rid of bad business practices in the private sphere and corruption in the public sphere. Where govt can help, good.
What I think we really need is to bring back the good ole fashion Boycott. I would like to see an organization dedicated to pointing out the Greed, Immorality, Deceptions...etc, of big corporations so we could go after them one by one and hit them where it REALLY hurts--in their Pocketbook!
Just imagine what would happen to a corp. like Exxon-Mobil if we could get enough people to buy their gas elsewhere until they straightened out...etc.
@sgapplebee Boycotts are good. Of course one problem with boycotting these multinationals is that they can draw on so many other related investments to keep them from hurting - not to mention that even if individuals boycotted a corp like Exxon-Mobil it would still make money from its thousands of contracts with large businesses. It's almost gotten too big to fail.
@sgapplebee One thing we like about the occupy movement is that by labeling ourselves as the 99%, we're putting human faces on statistics. This means, among other things, that we're foregrounding our position as humans first, citizens second, and consumers third. Too long we have been taught to view ourselves purely in that 3rd capacity. Boycotts have been used to great effect, but we do also feel that there's something (more?) to be said about using this protest to transcend that relationship.
@willtower212 as we said, we're not proponents of those movements. In our post we simply wanted to correct locolalo's misrep. of history. As a movement, Occupy is interested in forging a complex and myriad critique of the current system, and if the gen. pop. wasn't so split by media that profits from devisiveness, the movement would be even larger. Tea Party people in particular share many of our concerns.

It doesn't make sense to ask for jobs but hate businesses. If the middle class wants secure jobs in the future, they work WITH businesses, not against them. OWS is only going to divide the nation, further the gap between the upper and lower classes, which helps the upperclass because THEY know how to protect the value of their money and the middle class does not. Shouldn’t these protesters be in school? It just goes to show you that they have given up on their future.
@MrAmputechture They are not against businesses; they against large monopolies taking over most of the economy while paying fewer taxes. Plus, they are protesting for the sake of their future so I don't know where you got that part.
@himynameispuky Where do those taxes go? They go to government bailouts and failed spending. Federal spending ruins the economy. Why in the world would you want to tax a business? It hurts our exports and our jobs and it is a spit in the face of the freedoms our country was founded on. And, do you think someone would hire you if you had "protest against businesses" on your resume? Protest does not create future. It ends them. Education creates future. Get one.
@MrAmputechture Please quote when the hell did I say I want a tax bussiness. You got everything wrong; you couldn't even understand a simple phrase like "They are not against businesses; they against large monopolies taking over most of the economy while paying fewer taxes". The principles for America, not the country, but the entire continent are being exposed with protests.
I'm an engeneering student. I have my education, I know my rights, I'm in favor of protests (our right).
Wow, at least in the past people used to revolt against meaningful things. Everyone involved in the Occupy Wallstreet movement do not understand what America was built on in the first place. The USA is the land of OPPORTUNITY. OUr constition states that with your freedom comes your right to be a success or failure. It is moronic to expect to be handed things on a silver platter. This is the USA, no one is going to help you out. How about you people start living in what we call the world.
HELP END THE "NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT" BY VOTING AT (WHITEHOUSE.GOV) STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS AS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN! only 18,000 votes to go, we can do this!!!!!!
So cool, in Toronto Ontario big companies have come together and donated the resources needed to fix the damage the occupiers did to the park. SO AWESOME and that's my capitalism!!!! Gotta agree with one commentor who said, "this is the generation of entitlement" reaching its logical conclusion...sigh. The police have been awesome through this whole thing for the most part, great job folks.

@gentlemanREX I'm an honors engineering student because I worked my ass off in high school and now I have an internship which pays for my tuition on top of my salary because I've worked my ass off in college. English, Psychology, and Business majors are flooding the Occupy Wallstreet because they got bullshit degrees. Sorry, but it's survival of the fittest and if you dicked around in college then you're out of the market.
@AdventOctober With exponential population growth and finite resources the current system will always fail. No matter how hard somebody works or studies there will never be enough jobs, regardless of the qualifications of applicants for the jobs that exist . Why do you encourage this ratrace?
@DonnieMachina There needs to be a restructuring of government with an emphasis on a true democracy, that's something that the Occupy Wallstreet movement has gotten spot on, but there ARE jobs right now. I know firms right now hiring like crazy because their upper management is retiring at a rapid pace. You are definitely right about population growth but that's not on Occupy Wallstreet's Agenda. There will be a population cap in the US at some time. That's the only solution.
@AdventOctober let me guess... you're white and had the ability to actually go to college?
The lack of understanding of what happens in the actual "ghetto" is the problem with our mentality. There truly are some people who just have ZERO opportunities... and that is the issue.
No one wants free money, we all want to work for it... but we all want the same chances to do so.
@Mandama004 I'm actually American Indian and I'm the first one in my family to actually go to college on both sides. Thank you for stereotyping me though, my family was below the poverty line. I am one of those who had so called "zero oppurtunities" lol. The problem is there are people like you who stereotype individuals and try to criticize others on their work ethic. I agree with many tenets of the Occupy Movement. And what if I was white does the pigment of one's skin deserve denouncement?
absolute power corrupts absolute, and in theory the checks and balances in power are supposed to be enough to keep democracy going down the right path. that hasn't worked there needs to be restructuring but when a law or bill is passed it becomes very hard to veto so how can we take the power away from the corporations that have lobbied there way into a position where they run pretty much everything
What we need is serious long-term structural change: we need to control the banks (or they'll soon control us like they do already in Europe); we need to tax the rich (which is not only about equity, but again, about their undue power--they won't let real change take place until they're reduced); and we need to ratchet back the militaristic rhetoric and foreign policy of Washington. Then, we can begin to make society safer, fairer and better.
@Dinyang Then you have no right to talk shit you stupid fuck... the fact that you are from the uk explains why you are throwing insults a a comment that was non-confrontational or insulting.. Burn in hell you pretentious cunt. oh and IMO you should delete your account...
Rob Wohl is a socialist!!! He is a social Fascist!! I have heard many interviews this guy has done. He is a pompous, elitist, collegiate socialist. He believes in the Ultimate power of the STATE, not in individual freedom. The reason his message is portrayed as confused is because in a Social Fascist STATE, his ideas do not matter because Corporations will run the show. If workers STRIKE in a fascist state, the MILITARY will murder them. Tianamen Square anyone? Listen and learn from him.
@discountninjuh and may i add that the communists are still very active in russia's government.. but for now russia is still controlled by the RU mafia... you know those guys that export women to other countries
@maclachj1 If you liked the carolla explanation, take a look at the young turk's rebuttal. That too is insightful. please get back to us after checking that out and let us know what you think.
@OccupyIdeas I think his points about any terp funded financial instutions profiting from tax payers money very valid. It was a fucking disgrace. OWS is fucked off with anyone making money(also outside wall street) and are not happy with cuts. Carolla is spot on about the fundemental demise of self accountability. It's not your fault; Govts in U.S and Europe have spoon fed 2 generations of young people via corp tax and cheap money.
@maclachj1 Interesting take. What did you think of The Young Turks' critique of Adam's argument? We think it has merit. If you haven't seen it, just search youtube for: "tyt carolla" It should be the first clip that shows up. It's 4 min 12 sec. long.
@OccupyIdeas tyt make 2 good points. Paulson's involvement and terp banks benefitting from bail outs. We know all that and I doubt Carolla would argue differently. TYT fail to achnowledge the wider subject of the rant. Recent govts have created unprecedented levels of self entitlement. Those same govts have cleverly diverted the original cause of the current crisis; excessive national debt and no regulation.
Zeitgeist is NOT communist or NWO. if you spent the time actually looking into it you would know that instead of giving your useless comments based on NOTHING!
occupy Washington DC ask obama why we are spending 2 1/2 billion on a mars rover mission or 1 billion given to develope electric cars that cost over $50,000 each and only go 30 miles on a charge.. Why are we dishing out money when we are so in debt??
@loxleymendoza Maybe cut out the wars?! Iraq alone was calculated to $720,000,000 per day ($500,000 /minute!). 10x electric cars per min! This is where the focus should be put, leaving the World to go forward in peace. Money is being dished out from thin air, then passed on dominantly to a few financial instutitions who loan money to congress to feed the huge military budget (not defense budget). Then the tax payer has to pay back the debt on the money that never existed! Madness!
@loxleymendoza thats the thing.. we really arent in that much debt... we could get rid of almost all of it if we end the federal reserve.. WHICH is not really even a official gov't building.. its really owned by things like time-warner... you know.. big business... no wonder why we are called the "American Capitalist Pigs"...
Oh, the stupidity! Driving #OWS out of sight (public places) just means they'll be working where they can't be seen, most likely with more vehemence. So, go ahead. disperse them. Spread the occupation even more. Fine with me. It's amazing how people who profess to be so wise can be such utter fools. Then again, that's why we're at this point in history.
Where are the parents for this kid? So Bill Gates should have his wealth taken away and pay more taxes because he is rich in the 1% and created thousands of jobs with a company that he built from the ground up? I really don't understand this movement. If you want wealth, work for it. I continue to hear that the top 1% are greedy but a majority is willing to sell their job down the road to a foreign country and buy a product that is cheaper than what it costs to make it here. Isn't that greed?
People sit on here and argue all day about the wrong issues! Do we want to remain the LAST STANDING DEMOCRACY ON THE PLANET? THEN GET YOUR @** UP AND DO SOMETHING... or let it go down the drain like the rest of em. To each is own. But stop arguing the little points that don't matter for anything! This is do or die. Control or be controlled.
Want better job and economic opportunities? Don't follow the unions like a lemming, void of self!!! CREATE YOUR OWN JOB!!!! DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE. The unions are greedy bastards who have been on the decline for decades, as they are cannibals.
The majority of Americans do not support these people who don't even know why they are there!!! This is NOT democracy!! FOOLS!!
@ladylordess Is that true, or with the help of the unions AND ALL OTHER AMERICANS ALIKE will OWS help preserve the democracy so near extinction?
You condradict yourself. Democracy requires constant protest and revolution in order to sustain itself. The unions are helping the cause!! They contacted OWS and showed up with 20,000 people in support! Unions were put in place as part of DEMOCRACY! They are interest groups who use the GROUP to voice their opinion in stead of ONE PERSON.
@4LibertyANDfreedom Seeing as the majority of Americans do not support the "occupy" people who don't have a cohesive message, there is no preservation of democracy here! When these people block the streets preventing Americans from going to school or getting to and from work, they are against the people.
The only thing the unions are trying to do is to bolster their greedy existence.
Не хрена не понятно, это на каком языке ? А если серьезно, простому люду везде тяжело живется , что у нас что у них, так что господа Американцы, занимайтесь своими, и не суйте нос куда собака свой х..й не совала
The young man freely admits that he has no agenda. There for he is just ranting for the sake of ranting. A task that idiots engage in. I'm glad he admitted that he's an idiot.
@capitalismforme "The young man freely admits he has no agenda. Therefore, he is just ranting for the sake of ranting. A task idiots engage in. I'm glad he admitted he's an idiot."
I went ahead and edited your comment to show you how it should've been were you not an idiot. You're welcome.
@sporganmurloc LOL. Every once in a while I misspell a word. The fact that I'm not an idiot can be proven, with evidence, because of my rather large bank account that was created from poverty. I welcome your passive/aggressive attacks as they provide me with enjoyable contentment in that I have overcome the basic vicissitudes of life that the majority of those who support OWS never will obtain. I measure my intelligence by how well my family is provided for :)
@Mandama004 Who says he has a multi-million dollar bank account? It appears you are assuming he does without having any factual knowledge of whether he does or not. Furthermore, you haven't proven that he isn't intelligent. Are you assuming he isn't because of his sexual preferences? It seems clear that you're the one here who is lacking. I have an MBA in Economics - a pretty good indicator of intelligence. What do you have? A degree in being a slut?
@capitalismforme actually, I made the statement that one can "act like an idiot", as you stated, whilst having tons of money. Whether he is an intelligent man or not, you can clearly see him dancing around like what most consider an "idiot" in his videos.
And, actually, I did know that he was a millionaire... in fact, anyone with a basic understanding of reasoning could deduct that he made millions of dollars off of the things he did.
@capitalismforme my degree, since you've asked, is in psychology.... which makes it easy for me to see your faulty reasoning and clouded vision of what the world truly is. Though you call yourself "educated", in the very same paragraph, you also call me a "slut" without knowing anything about me. This, by definition, is "ignorance" (you assume that I'm an idiot though you're not sure... the same thing you called ME out on). "Ignorance" does not equate to "intelligence", my friend.
@Mandama004 I've never met a psychologist who had an inkling of what they were talking about. I'm sure some exist but I have yet to meet one. Most of so many issues within themselves in which that was the driving factor for them to enter into that profession; in order to get a grip on their own person demons. That may not be true of all, but the 3 that I have personal knowledge of in my life it is.
@Mandama004 In any event, I've never been impressed with someone who felt that their opinion was anymore important that anyone else's based on a degree. It doesn't make a rational or logical argument so you'll have to pardon me but I simply don't care what your opinion is of me as it has no monetary or moral merit. Calling you ignorant is much different than believing you are ignorant. I would have to know you personally and frankly, I couldn't care less.
@capitalismforme and, for the record, I know plenty of college educated individuals who are extraordinarily unintelligent people.
You can never group ALL of humanity into boxes... there will always be an exception.
Ergo, you can't assume that someone with money is a genius. You also can't assume someone with an education is actually smart... which you have proven with nearly all of your comments.
@Mandama004 You have yet to prove that I'm not smart. You've only made a declaration that I am not. Intelligence is provided through evidence. Apperantly they didn't teach you that is school; they did, however, teach me that in behavioral finance :)
@capitalismforme Strange. Had he spelled out an agenda people might have criticized him for having an agenda, like those scary liberals, or "the gays" we're constantly being warned about. (Sorry sproganmurloc - "...about whom we're constantly being warned." :)
IT'S TIME FOR THE PEACE LOVING CITIZENS OF PLANET EARTH TO START A WAVE OF CITIZENS ARRESTS OF VIOLENT POLICE AND ARMIES WHO HAVE VIOLATED THE NATURAL RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE TO ORGANIZE AND ASSEMBLE PEACEFULLY. THE PEOPLE ALWAYS OUTNUMBER THE POLICE AND THE ARMY; SO LET'S GET ZIP TIES AND ARREST THESE DISORDERLY OFFICERS AND THEIR SUPERIORS.
occupy the white house,ask obama why he gave a billion dollars of tax payer money to big car companies to develope electric cars that only go 30 miles on a charge and with a sticker price of over 50,000 per car? how aout the 2 1/2 billion given to nasa to send rovers to mars..Ask why there are 30 million illegal aliens in the US? not to mention the flood of muslims from africa and the middle east.. Not enough jobs now why import job stealers and future terrorists
Im not going to say marxist,I'll say unrealistic people who need their big brother the one percent to give them jobs and let them by stuff.None of these people in the video look like they could survive without a supermarket.
You know what........ if all these shit head weren't screwing around in the streets they could be part of the 1 percent. Its a more competitive economy and everybody has to work harder.
RT is so incredibly biased, with obviouse anti-western propaganda and anyone who actually takes heed of this network thinking it as fair reporting is blind, is it not obviouse? just look at the titles for their videos. watch "Russia Today = Kremlin propaganda newscast"
it's more about dividing us not about scared little boys. there are men everywhere who would like to enslave women, and peoples of other cultures for that matter.
here they say woman can do anything a man can, but still won't let women and men compete. i guess you could say scared little girls.
@locolalo1364 "Uber cool"? You attack new ideas cause your afraid of change, your stuck in paradigm.... your so indoctrinated you probably have federal reserve tatooed on your body. Stop beliving everything you here on T.V get out and research don't accept anything i say or the venusproject says but that goes for your so beloved monetary system and gonverment. Use logic and reason stop attacking ideas you have no information on. Don't reply back u have no relevant info i can use.
@TheMidwestsk8ter nice spelling child. Reply once you ponder this. Resource economy has failed many times before. what makes you think it will succeed. Face it. people are greedy and they will not share resources. Stop being an idiot.
@locolalo1364 Yes resource based ecnomy have succed and always been around since naitve cultures who didn't use money but fed there entire village for nothing, first nations pepole understood not to destroy the enviroment and had a pretty good life untill the monetary system came...your notions about greed are based off opinions and assumptions. Go reasearch nuroscience, soiciology, and bilogy and you'll find greed dosen't exsist in the body its a manifestation of the culture your brought up in
@locolalo1364 This is simply not true. We're not zeitgeist or venus project supporters, but you should know that our present system - which relies upon and cultivates our most base instincts - is relatively new. Humans shared resources for thousands of years successfully, and those who refused to share were viewed as pathological and shunned by communities. Call it god or intuition, but humans developed this system independently all over the earth.
@smash1man IDK the message and solutions that that movie offers are vague and more like long term goals. I think the problem is simple the government needs to be accountable to people for people and not for their money. So we occupy until there are new restrictions on campaign finance and lobbying.
@smash1man I agree that the change has to happen in our minds. Sounds trippy and hippie-like that way tho haha. It just means we have to break the stigma that we all HAVE to consume and that it's okay for one guy to have 8 trillion dollars while another eats out of trash bins. If we can undo the brainwashing, then and only then can we move forward.
@SHEEPLEwhisperer again ignorant boy, if you watch the full documentary its not simply a machine that doles out resources, but a scientific approach to allocate resources to the masses, which is possible and feasible. We can send robots to mars, but cant create a system that efficiently allocates resources? who's not being realistic?
@SHEEPLEwhisperer Actually, Walmart, Monsanto and JP Morgan is commie marxist crap. They have shut down more businesses than Zeitgeist. We're not particularly down with Zeitgeist either, but we should begin to acknowledge that the present system of intntl conglomerates resembles less adam smith's vision of free markets and more a centrally-planned system that we associate with communism.
CAPITALISM ALWAYS LEADS TO MONOPOLY AND CONCENTRATION OF POWER BY IT'S VERY NATURE.THERE IS NO WAY TO ''FIX'' IT.THE ONES IN POWER WANT TO PRESERVE IT BECAUSE THEY DEPEND ON IT FOR ALL THEIR POWER,WEALTH AND CONTROL.THERE IS NOTHING FOR MOST OF US IN THIS SYSTEM.MOST ALWAYS HAVE TO BE AT THE BOTTOM GETTING SCREWED. SOLUTION IS A RESOURCE-BASED ECONOMY.WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY AND RESOURCES TO MAKE EVERYONE LIVE LIKE KINGS.AND TAKE CARE OF OUR PLANET.
@smash1man So If I work hard all my life to save enough money for my children to go to school and become rich i should also have to pay for some one ealses kids? (some one who didnt work had and blew his money)
I'm sure the system you talk about is working fine in cuba and north korea
I sometimes watch the main stream media, interviewers and interviewees always seem to bring up a point that the occupy sit-ins have no real message. Obviously the people involve with these sit-ins are angry and upset at the way society is moving. Internet is the newest best form of alternative media while it is unregulated for the most part. If people don't understand something they should look it up and do theyre own homework before making opinions.
I watched the video and the interviewee said alot but wasn't really saying anything. I always here people criticizing the "Occupy" movement for having no real agenda or "message". I believe thats the beauty of the movement. Everyone is different and everyone has a different voice with different reason they are for the occupy movement. The beauty is that it isn't that occupy has to represent everyones needs with one "umbrella message" yet everyone represents occupy with their own unique message
Moron? OK so you satisfy your intellectual superiority by calling someone names, but he has the ability to stand in face of the media and turn around stupid questions and make a good point. OK , so some of his facts and his viewpoints are a little off, but who is perfect? At least he is taking a stand and trying to support an important faction of the Occupy movement.
we must look beyond the details and not sabotage one another. Be supportive and lets assist one another.
@TheSniperGuru So you are saying that 99% can't buyout, kickout, and reform 1% of all these things they have issues with? If they were focused shit would be fixed their way by now.
This kid, Rob Wohl, is sharp and so intelligent with his words! If he debated Obama, he would cut him to shreds.
Don't believe the Hype and fight amongst ourselves because you are frustrated and feel powerless to create change.
We Are Everywhere!
Believe in it, Own it, Get out and live it. Together we will win. It is the only thing that can happen. And as the .01% and their thieving ways lose more each day, they will turn on each other and we will watch with happy hearts knowing they are done
Hey Rob, you do realise that OWS was organised by Communist groups, right? I don't disregard OWS on this fact and I see it's merits. You really shouldn't disregard the Tea Party movement because it had the support of Republican party backers. WE'RE ON THE SAME BLOODY TEAM. "WE THE PEOPLE"
@Gethsemaneful No Occupy Wall Street was an idea of Max Kreiser as far as I know. He was a stock broker in NY you can't get more capitalist than that. Stock market is all about maximizing your gains.... so... yeah there you go bro, that is so far anti commie that your comment doesn't even make sense.
It's time to stop acting nice. Obama is a liar and a criminal in office. If we the American people want change, we need to use force. They're laughing at us right now because they can still do whatever the hell they want with us.
@GoldmannSucks brilliant? hardley. look a little deeper into the founding documents of this great union of nations. dont be a succah for a party line set up
Occupy is a joke. Obama is worse than bush and you guys are all for this clown.

There are more options than just socialism, communism and capitalistic corporatism. We have enough resources, technology and information to start abolishing the monetary system, taking a survey of all the resources in the world and giving everyone the opportunity to access anything they want, instead of ownership. I know it sounds far out there for many people, but its what will happen in the future and we need to start going in the direction. ALL current systems are outdated and corrupt.

@OccupyIdeas,
It means our country is heading in the wrong direction, but I think most Americans agree on this. However, what they don't agree on is WHAT to do about it. From what I've seen, most OWS'ers want the government to have MORE power, while the solution is for the government to have LESS power. Corporations BUY politicians to pass laws on their behalf to take away the freedom of both individuals & small businesses so they can't compete with them...cont...

...and on the other hand, Individuals vote for politicians who will STEAL from other individuals in order to give it to them. Either way, it's governmental power at the core of the problem. We need to have a Separation of Economics & State, just like we need to have a Separation of Church & State.
However, I do like the fact that many OWS'ers want to get rid of The Fed.

@sgapplebee But we do agree that the major problem is private-government corruption, right? We should build on that agreement. Get corp and union money out of elections, and perhaps (although this does impinge on personal freedoms) outlaw the revolving door of lobbying? Sound good?
OccupyIdeas 2 months ago
@OccupyIdeas,
I agree. However, I don't think we should outlaw lobbying because it would violate the Right to free speech, but I do think I have a possible solution. We should outlaw government officials from ACCEPTING any type of money, gifts, campain contributions...etc, from ANYONE. That way, we could end the influence of lobbyists without violating the Right of free speech.
We didn't even have lobbyists until WWI, so we would do just fine without them.

What I think we really need is to bring back the good ole fashion Boycott. I would like to see an organization dedicated to pointing out the Greed, Immorality, Deceptions...etc, of big corporations so we could go after them one by one and hit them where it REALLY hurts--in their Pocketbook!
Just imagine what would happen to a corp. like Exxon-Mobil if we could get enough people to buy their gas elsewhere until they straightened out...etc.

@sgapplebee Boycotts are good. Of course one problem with boycotting these multinationals is that they can draw on so many other related investments to keep them from hurting - not to mention that even if individuals boycotted a corp like Exxon-Mobil it would still make money from its thousands of contracts with large businesses. It's almost gotten too big to fail.
OccupyIdeas 2 months ago
@sgapplebee One thing we like about the occupy movement is that by labeling ourselves as the 99%, we're putting human faces on statistics. This means, among other things, that we're foregrounding our position as humans first, citizens second, and consumers third. Too long we have been taught to view ourselves purely in that 3rd capacity. Boycotts have been used to great effect, but we do also feel that there's something (more?) to be said about using this protest to transcend that relationship.

@willtower212 as we said, we're not proponents of those movements. In our post we simply wanted to correct locolalo's misrep. of history. As a movement, Occupy is interested in forging a complex and myriad critique of the current system, and if the gen. pop. wasn't so split by media that profits from devisiveness, the movement would be even larger.

It doesn't make sense to ask for jobs but hate businesses. If the middle class wants secure jobs in the future, they work WITH businesses, not against them. OWS is only going to divide the nation, further the gap between the upper and lower classes, which helps the upperclass because THEY know how to protect the value of their money and the middle class does not. Shouldn’t these protesters be in school? It just goes to show you that they have given up on their future.

Ergo, you can't assume that someone with money is a genius. You also can't assume someone with an education is actually smart... which you have proven with nearly all of your comments.

@Mandama004 You have yet to prove that I'm not smart. You've only made a declaration that I am not. Intelligence is provided through evidence. Apperantly they didn't teach you that is school; they did, however, teach me that in behavioral finance :)

@TheMidwestsk8ter nice spelling child. Reply once you ponder this. Resource economy has failed many times before. what makes you think it will succeed. Face it. people are greedy and they will not share resources. Stop being an idiot.

@locolalo1364 Yes resource based ecnomy have succed and always been around since naitve cultures who didn't use money but fed there entire village for nothing, first nations pepole understood not to destroy the enviroment and had a pretty good life untill the monetary system came...your notions about greed are based off opinions and assumptions. Go reasearch nuroscience, soiciology, and bilogy and you'll find greed dosen't exsist in the body its a manifestation of the culture your brought up in
TheMidwestsk8ter 2 months ago
@locolalo1364 This is simply not true. We're not zeitgeist or venus project supporters, but you should know that our present system - which relies upon and cultivates our most base instincts - is relatively new. Humans shared resources for thousands of years successfully, and those who refused to share were viewed as pathological and shunned by communities. Call it god or intuition, but humans developed this system independently all over the earth.

@smash1man IDK the message and solutions that that movie offers are vague and more like long term goals. I think the problem is simple the government needs to be accountable to people for people and not for their money. So we occupy until there are new restrictions on campaign finance and lobbying.

@smash1man I agree that the change has to happen in our minds. Sounds trippy and hippie-like that way tho haha. It just means we have to break the stigma that we all HAVE to consume and that it's okay for one guy to have 8 trillion dollars while another eats out of trash bins. If we can undo the brainwashing, then and only then can we move forward.

@SHEEPLEwhisperer again ignorant boy, if you watch the full documentary its not simply a machine that doles out resources, but a scientific approach to allocate resources to the masses, which is possible and feasible. We can send robots to mars, but cant create a system that efficiently allocates resources? who's not being realistic?
spitfirez89 2 months ago
@SHEEPLEwhisperer Actually, Walmart, Monsanto and JP Morgan is commie marxist crap. They have shut down more businesses than Zeitgeist. We're not particularly down with Zeitgeist either, but we should begin to acknowledge that the present system of intntl conglomerates resembles less adam smith's vision of free markets and more a centrally-planned system that we associate with communism.

I sometimes watch the main stream media, interviewers and interviewees always seem to bring up a point that the occupy sit-ins have no real message. Obviously the people involve with these sit-ins are angry and upset at the way society is moving. Internet is the newest best form of alternative media while it is unregulated for the most part. If people don't understand something they should look it up and do theyre own homework before making opinions.

I watched the video and the interviewee said alot but wasn't really saying anything. I always here people criticizing the "Occupy" movement for having no real agenda or "message". I believe thats the beauty of the movement. Everyone is different and everyone has a different voice with different reason they are for the occupy movement. The beauty is that it isn't that occupy has to represent everyones needs with one "umbrella message" yet everyone represents occupy with their own unique message

Moron? OK so you satisfy your intellectual superiority by calling someone names, but he has the ability to stand in face of the media and turn around stupid questions and make a good point. OK , so some of his facts and his viewpoints are a little off, but who is perfect? At least he is taking a stand and trying to support an important faction of the Occupy movement.
we must look beyond the details and not sabotage one another. Be supportive and lets assist one another.
