OWS You will be assimilated... Occupy Just Do it

[MicMacGrass1]

I never thought OWS would be synonymous with Tiny Tim in this movement, but I guess it does make sense. Thanx Tim for getting people talking - about the correct problem!!

[882me]

The whole Santa = Government is so ludicrous anyway...Santa = parents and everyone knows it.

Oops, did I just let on to something I shouldn't have...sorry, kiddies.

[valaraj]

We are having the conversation!! :D

[g4macdad]

Ron Paul wants to repeal ALL Wall Street Reform and make the Bush Tax Cuts PERMANENT.

Don't let this "tea party" charlatan hijack this excellent movement.

[iAnnouska]

I wonder how OWS will last. This could end up being the longest and biggest protest ever in history.

[heaviside1618]

Thom, you are describing it from the perspective of the ignorant masses. Santa Claus is just a side effect.

What are conservatives trying to conserve? Ultimately they are conserving the banker's power. By spending and cutting taxes they are forced to borrow from the banks which increases their power, ultimately leading to sale of public assets, higher taxes, and slavery. All of which is in the interest of the banks. Please restate.

[megagagnon1]

A $14.8 trillion debt is a phony crisis? With 10,000 seniors turning 65 every day this year, and for the next 19 years, medicare and social security are going to cost more and more.

[N89J00X]

Excellent insight.

[TheLadyMichele]

Social security and medi-care ARE NOT Santa Claus. They are paid for programs. Example: 2000 x .062 (SSI deduction) = 2976 a year per 2000 income. 2000 x .0145 (M/C) = 29. Therefore, 2976 x 300 million (given factors such as some pay more/some are unemployed) = 893 million a year. Given most people work at least 20 years. That's 17 almost 18 billion dollars and this is before interest gained by treasury investment. In 20 years! WHERE DID OUR FUCKING MONEY GO!

[dude12nothin]

I heard some bullshit on my locate PBS radio station about the OWS 99% being only 2% of the country. HAHAHHAHHHAHHHAH AHAHAHHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHAHHHHAHA­HHEHEHEH

[MrJDavidson]

The crisis is not for jobs, it is for justice. Quit perpetuating the wage slave ideal of the establishment. The fed just printed off over $16 trillion and gave it to banks and corps. As the fed can simply print and circulate money at their whim, the money they are circulating has no apparent value. What is that almighty dollar worth to you? The illusion of value that it has is just a facade. How to we interact without money defining our relationships?

[N89J00X]

@MrJDavidson That's our challenge.

[MrJDavidson]

They didn't force the democrats to do anything they do not already want to do.

[Sylinic]

Gotta love the truth.

[Solosohi]

Why wasn't the full episode uploaded? Watching the whole show in one go is much easier than in multiple parts.

[TheLadyMichele]

@Solosohi the RT website has all the full episodes available day after airing.

[RedC53]

What planet are you coming from? Are you really saying that the republicans are responsible for the democratic presidency? That even when they are not elected they control the government? This is not about government and you are missing the main thrust of OWS. They are talking about fair and responsible government right across the board. MSM talks about their lack of focus. They are focused. There needs to be a general overhaul of government with enough checks and balances to protect us all.

[wildpeachatl737]

@RedC53 - The American electorate was supposed to be that check and balance. However, it's good to see many of us waking up and taking back what was easily stolen from us.

[TripleSpeak]

@RedC53 LOL. You took (most of) the words out of my mouth. Thom, like most wealthy old white guys, is pretty clueless. But at least his heart seems to be in the right place.

[rextrek]

LONG LIVE OWS
