There is no wealth without commonwealth. Wealthy people should pay more taxes because they use more, in order to create their wealth they must have greater access to natural resources, infrastructure, and civic services either directly or indirectly. No one can say I did it all by myself.

It's not responsibility for her to find a job, find a place to live, to eat, to have health care. That is HER RESPONSIBILITY no one else's. She needs to just grow up and get a life and go back home, work and pay taxes like there rest of us.
@jlvia33 It is more like the bottom 45% who don't pay taxes. And the rest of us have to pay to keep them alive. I think the OWS folks need martyrs...maybe they can all drink the Jim Jones punch and then we will not have to worry about feeding their dumb asses.

the majority of the wealthy are haughty overbearing and mean and that is the class the income tax is designed to reach.that quote is from 1909 when Congress designed a tax to reach income of the rich of the early 1900's The American people voted for the income tax because Congress promised that only those who earned over 20,000 a year would pay so why is it today the rich pay almost nothing. The income tax is a total failure because it still has not reached the wealthy as it was designed to do.
CORPORATISM IS THE PROBLEM.

Socialism for the masses is a democracy, and is the good form of socialism. Socialism for the wealthy only, as we have in this country, is kleptocracy/oligarchy. The working (and once middle class, that is now practically gone) are dehumanized wage slaves to support the rich who just sit back and collect all the wealth while we get diddly squat.
@whukid2 That's a straw man argument. In all the socialistic countries in the world today, people work for a living just as they do here (see Western and Northern Europe nations for example), but unlike here, wealth is far more evenly distributed and there is a much lower % of people living below the poverty line. Not to mention their citizens are happier, healthier, and live longer than those in the U.S. You know why? Because all capitalism is, is socialism for the wealthy, scraps the rest.
There is a growing effort to diffuse the movement and demotivate the protestors through a ridiculous requirement that we state a clear message and goal as to why this is taking place.
Here's a message. THE SYSTEM IS BROKE.
This is simply a large number of people fed up with a system that has failed us all, and a government which has allowed a small contingent to thrive while 99% of us fight for scraps.
This movement is an American as apple pie. Pay no heed to those who would discredit it.
@DarkHorse0863 Right on man! We can go to a socialist society, where NO one has any money!
Get a grip hippy. Alteast now you have as much chance to earn money as the next guy. As for those who are on top? They earned their position. The bankers who got bailed out by the stimulus would be on the streets right now, except your dumbass president let them keep their jobs and paid to keep their deadbeat companies up and running. Its funny, you're essentially protesting socialism, which is govt. run
To understand the happenings of today we must study the past. This study begins with Rothschild. After taking control England's central bank they are quoted with saying it matters not who makes the laws as long as I control the money supply. You'll encounter Smedley Butler, Andrew Jackson, Lincoln and Russian czar Alexander, Bolshevik revolution, Garfield, Wilson, and you'll encounter Warburg, Rockefeller, eugenics, Nazi's,. Bush, De Beers, Morgan, + other well known names
Take note: this girl is mainly talking about lack of representation because of blind corporation gifts and those companies man-handling the politicians we elect. She's for an open collective dialogue and community responsibility. She, like many in this country, no matter the side, has become disenchanted with the way Washington is run by wall street, and feels she has no voice. It's basic campaign finance reform. She's not a left-wing nut, she might even be a moderate. Most of all she's American
yes, lets take money away from all the people who can provide jobs and give it to people who have no clue what to do with it. No one realizes that most of these people who make over a million every year work damn hard at it. Where are their rights? Why do you get to take their hard earned money? They also have families, but more importantly, they provide jobs. Without the ability for them to grow their corporations, unemployment is only going to get worse.
@whukid2 "lets take money away from all the people who can provide jobs..."
Uh, what jobs?
"No one realizes that most of these people who make over a million every year work damn hard at it."
They probably work harder at it than you did wrapping your head around this issue. We're aren't talking about people who "make a million". We're talking about corporations that make $Trillions$ fraudulently.
"...but more importantly, they provide jobs. " Again, what jobs???
@dogstar7 Jobs, meaning the average 124 jobs per bank that they open. They provide money loans for small businesses to get started, indirectly starting thousands of jobs, as well as job security when that business wants to expand. Secondly, I'm going to assume you're a liberal democrat since you're wanting to take from the rich and give to the poor; You can blame your dipshit president for this. That Stimulus? Guess where it went. Had he let capitalism run its course, there would be no "Occupy"
@whukid2 I see. You simply make shit up as you go long. "...average 124 jobs per bank that they open." Where'd you find that little statistic? Up your ass?
@dogstar7 Actually, it comes from my little brothers economics text book, Circa 2010. And to be fair, I misread the number, the average jobs are around 112. Either way, your theory is flawed.
@whukid2 They don't provide jobs. They just outsource our jobs to China or India so they can exploit the wage slaves over there for pennies on the dollar to increase their profits, pay less taxes than we do , while normal citizens who actually have to vote instead of using dollars to buy votes get left in the cold. Then our government bails these criminals out. Its called socialism for the rich, capitalism for the rest of us, and it DOESN'T work. Its called an oligarchy, not a democracy. WakeUp!
@FireIceTalon You know, you have some very interesting points there, and I completely agree with your last part; the government should stay the hell out of the economy so its an even playing field. As for the first part, however, they outsource their companies because taxes and wages are just too high. Its too expensive for them to stay domestic, so they outsource. You wanna fix that? Lower taxes and take away minimum wage. That will create an environment where business can grow.
@whukid2 It's not government that is the problem, but rather big business the drug companies, Wall Street, and Military industrial complex that has HIJACKED our government that is the problem. No, they dont outsource to China because taxes or wages are too high, we have the lowest taxes in the world among the advanced democracies. They outsource because they are greedy and want to add on to their already obscene and exorbitant profits, while everyone else struggles to make ends meet.
@FireIceTalon Military industrial complex? Wow. Its dumbasses like you who make stupid decisions like cutting out funds for Bullet proof vests and Reactive Armor for our troops just to save a couple bucks. Anyways, Businesses are outsourcing because its too expensive to work here. Do you realize the US has the highest minimum wage in the Free world? As for taxes, do you also realize that the wealthy pay 98% of our taxes? How are they supposed to create wealth when they're forced to give it all
@whukid2 Cutting out funds for our troops? No, more like bringing the troops home. Only dumbass here is YOU, partner. Maybe you want them to stay over there so they can fight this so called propaganda war on terror by counter-terror methods to enrich companies like Blackwater and have our civil liberties curbed in the name of legislation like the Patriot Act, but any person with half a brain knows better. It has nothing to do with it being being too expensive, and everything to do with GREED.
@FireIceTalon No, it has to do with we created a void where a functioning government used to be so now its our responsibility to fix it, something you clearly don't know about since you want everything handed to you. Secondly, I've been living in a military family my entire life. What the hell gives you the right to tell me where my friends and family should go?! 80% of all Combat Veterans in Iraq/Afghanistan agreed we should stay there. How do you "know better"?
@whukid2 That's because you suffer from false consciousness my friend :) You think you are fighting for your country, and they use propaganda like "patriotism", "honor", and such to lure you in. The reality is, you are fighting a war to fill the pockets of corporate CEO's and bankers. They could give a flying fuck if you go to Iraq and get your head blown off. They are getting paid regardless. But you cant, and never will, understand that cause you are brainwashed by corporate media. Good luck.
@FireIceTalon It's a well known fact that you're fighting with weapons made by the lowest bidder to fight the highest bidder's war in the military. We do it because there's a sense of pride among those who go out so you can rant against the US without the prospect of being lined up and shot (I.E. Modern day Russia/North Korea, ect) and so that others around the world can share our freedoms, and we're damn good at it. Despite what you think, you don't really know a whole lot about what we do..
@FireIceTalon away? And do you also realize that 82% of all charity donations are done en masse from the wealthy billionaires? (USA Today, June 2006) You seem to have no understanding of business; the whole point is to grow. With all the inflation, tax increases, wage increases, and government involvement, its impossible for big and small businesses to grow. You also fail to realize; people are stupid. They'll squander their millions and go broke, meanwhile someone else will out-do them
@whukid2 Whoopty damn do. They have the money to donate, us working people do not. That is why socialism is a better idea in the first place, than we wouldnt need charity cause then everyone could pay their way. As long as there is corporate/fascist greed, that wont happen. Big businesses dont grow the economy, small businesses and workers DO. If people are too broke to buy anything because we stagnate labor to increase profits, the ecomony does what it is doing now: failing. And indeed...
there are alot of stupid people in the world. You fascist tea-baggers are the poster child of not only stupidity, but of willful ignorance. There is no country that has unchecked free-market capitalism, and there NEVER will be. Have you ever read Marx, and studied the concepts of "alienation", "exploitation", and "false consciousness"? Apparently you havent, but to fill you in, those are what occur when you think an abstract social construct like a "free market" works. It does NOT.
@FireIceTalon So because they have money and you don't automatically means you deserve it? Fuck that shit. I work for a living so I can pay my debts and lead a profitable life, not mooch of someone who can do it for me. Socialism sucks. Its government run EVERYTHING. I've spent my entire life in a military family, so believe me; I Know exactly how "functional and efficient" the government is. The Private sector is the way to go. Besides, Socialism cuts off the ability to create small business.
@FireIceTalon The increased taxes and high inflation (of which are unavoidable since everything is gov't run) mean everyone becomes a poor man. Read up on the history of Nazi Germany and how it came to be; the Weimar republic was socialist. people were starving in the streets and hauling wheelbarrow's of reichmarks around to buy small items such as loaves of bread. Oh, and by the way, Hitler was a socialist.
@whukid2 Wrong again. Hitler was FASCIST, not socialist. Fascism and socialism are fundamental opposites. Take a political science class buddy. And second, you need to quit with the straw man arguments, the citizens of Western Europe once again, are living better than we are, under a social democracy. You can deny it all you want, but the facts remain facts.
And regarding Germany, the hyperinflation was not caused by the policies of the Weimar Republic, but because of the reparations they had to pay to France, Britain, and the US after WW1 from the Treaty of Versailles. Try again man :)
@FireIceTalon No, he became fascist. The nazi party began as the worker's socialist party, hell bent on bringing equal wealth to all in order to end the widespread poverty in Germany. With their gains in power came a sense of greed, not for money, but for control. One thing leads to another and you have the 2nd worst genocide in history (the first being committed by Socialist Russia). How well did that turn out again?
@whukid2 TY for proving my point. Socialism was never Hitlers intention, he used it as a intermediary stage to bring Germany back economically so he could turn the nation into a fascist/racist dictatorship, much like what the Tea Party fascists wants to do today. And Russia was never socialist under Stalin, but rather was a totalitarian military dictatorship that has nothing to do with Marxism/socialism.
@FireIceTalon Actually, the Tea party was made up of Small business owners and those who wanted to avoid a socialist bailout of all corporations who were low on funds. I would know; I was at the 9/12 rally. Besides, we all own guns; why the hell would we want someone with enough power to take them away?!
Anyway man, I'm done. You keep fighting for those corporations that you love so much (but could care less about you), after all, as you said, who I am to tell you what to do? If you want to go get your head blown off for them so they can send your family a medal while we continue to fight a war we will never win and the corporations just get richer, be my guest. Ill have no parts of it though, because I know better. If they makes me un-American, well frankly.....I dont give a fuck, heh.
@FireIceTalon Financially. Lastly, these businesses will completely leave if you give them no incentive to remain in the US. They'll completely outsource and just import and sell to the middle class, who now have become "the filthy rich". How's socialism working out for you now? The fact that you're not coming up with ideas to make it big are your own damn fault. Besides, how is socialism so much better? Instead of having the chance to make a better life, you're stuck where you are. The gov't
@whukid2 As I said before, all the countries that are practicing socialism today, in particular Western Europe and Scandinavia all have happier, healthier more productive citizens than the USA. That is a fact. Capitalism CREATES social classes that eventually lead to a caste system where it is almost impossible for those at the bottom to ever move up. Social darwinism is a complete failure, but Ayn Rand never told you that. Anyway, I'm done with you...
@FireIceTalon Western Europe, you mean the place that just went through a series of violent riots because the Euro was de-valued? Think about it, besides Germany (who just adopted Conservative, Capitalist economic policies), when was the last time you ever bought a car from Western Europe? What was the last major product being imported into the US? Socialism eliminates competition, which is what gives us low prices and decent products. Oh, and since we're talking about "corporate greed", you're
@FireIceTalon a total hypocrite. Guess who's making the computer you're using to spam useless, destructive Ideas on here? Guess who made your TV and Ipad so you could watch all that bullshit on the news? Who the hell made your shoes, socks, clothes, cars, games, ect.? Thats right. Corporations and Big business. If you're so against it, why do you keep feeding them?
@FireIceTalon controls EVERYTHING and now EVERYBODY is poor, since there's no way to make money besides working for a set wage, and there is still the Rich Elite running the country. You wanna fix this? Make this country a place for pure capitalism, not a hybrid of which will never work.
The trickled economic approach has been show not to work. The wealth is not being spread around to aid those who need social services, public education etc. Taxing the top 1% by a maximum of 7 % is not going to drastically effect them. After all, they do control 42% of the nationals money.
@zharlow5301 You do realize that public education and social services are free right? You don't even have to be an American citizen, much less a taxpayer to use them. As for everything else, let me spell it out for you; There will always be the Rich and the Poor.Capitalism allows for a third, most used, option; the middle class. Socialism takes the two and increases the difference between them tenfold because there IS no way to get to the top without being "betrothed". Which one is better again?
I am aware those services are free. I am also aware those services are drastically being cut do to lack of funding from our government. I never said anything about socialism, I just do not see how it is right that the people who can quite easily afford taxes are getting breaks and the ones who struggle with it are being taxed much greater in income tax.
@zharlow5301 Actually, most of the public services like Education and Transportation are paid for on a State and County levels. The Federal government often has no reason to be in such places because there's no need. Secondly, the wealthy pay 97% of all taxes in the US today. The people who are "struggling" are doing so because of poor financial decisions (I.E. the housing crash in 2008)
@whukid2 The point is we have to move beyond a profit economy, I do not have all the answers,but clearly there is something seriously wrong with the system, top to bottom, so it needs a complete upheavel, the next battle of the 21st century is the ''power'' trying to keep it as more and more wake up....Resource driven economy....
Holly zombe! she's a programmed talking bot, with an audio loop of every goofy left wing liberal, catch phrase and keyword her poor brainwashed gray matter could absorb from her liberal professors. College, breading ground of stupidity
@dogstar7 LMAO you arrogant fuck. Just because he doesn't like the current president makes him racist?! Fuck you, you lying, discriminatory prick. How can you condone the actions of these people for using their first amendment, but say shit like that to someone from the other side? You're damn right I don't like the current president, but you can go fuck yourself if you think its because I don't like black people.
WE NEED NEW LAWS THAT PROTECT US FROM OUR CITY,STATE AND GOVERNMENT....AS YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE LAWS TO PROTECT THE U.S. GOVERNMENT FROM THE U.S. PEOPLE. THE GOVERNMENT SAYS THAT THE KIDS ARE OUR FUTURE....WHY DONT WE START TO VOTE THE OLD GOATS OUT AND THE KIDS OF THE FUTURE INTO GOVERNMENT NOW!!! THATS WHY WE ARE NEVER GOING TO GET ANYWHERE WITH THESE OLD GOATS WHO ARE RUINNING OUR COUNTRY AND THEY PROTECT WALL STREET AND THEIR RICH FRIENDS.OUR RIGHTS ARE GOING DOWN THE DRAIN HERE!
spot on girl (on this video) i totally agree, and keep on fighting, hopefully things will spread across the entire nation hopefully things brings about the change how America is run.
Please take this video down you are making us protesters look silly. You have said a lot of very wrong statements here. Please do some homework and then maybe re edit this. Take out the stupid parts.

Top 10% pay 69.94%
Top 25% pay 86.34%
Top 50% pay 97.3%
Bottom 50% pay 2.7% of federal personal income taxes. This number has been decreasing each year.

Socialism for the masses is a democracy, and is the good form of socialism. Socialism for the wealthy only, as we have in this country, is kleptocracy/oligarchy. The working (and once middle class, that is now practically gone) are dehumanized wage slaves to support the rich who just sit back and collect all the wealth while we get diddly squat.

@FireIceTalon So in english, you shouldn't have to work for your money, correct?
whukid2 4 months ago
@whukid2 That's a straw man argument. In all the socialistic countries in the world today, people work for a living just as they do here (see Western and Northern Europe nations for example), but unlike here, wealth is far more evenly distributed and there is a much lower % of people living below the poverty line. Not to mention their citizens are happier, healthier, and live longer than those in the U.S. You know why? Because all capitalism is, is socialism for the wealthy, scraps the rest.

There is a growing effort to diffuse the movement and demotivate the protestors through a ridiculous requirement that we state a clear message and goal as to why this is taking place.
Here's a message. THE SYSTEM IS BROKE.
This is simply a large number of people fed up with a system that has failed us all, and a government which has allowed a small contingent to thrive while 99% of us fight for scraps.
This movement is an American as apple pie. Pay no heed to those who would discredit it.

Get a grip hippy. Alteast now you have as much chance to earn money as the next guy. As for those who are on top? They earned their position. The bankers who got bailed out by the stimulus would be on the streets right now, except your dumbass president let them keep their jobs and paid to keep their deadbeat companies up and running. Its funny, you're essentially protesting socialism, which is govt. run

She, like many in this country, no matter the side, has become disenchanted with the way Washington is run by wall street, and feels she has no voice. It's basic campaign finance reform.

yes, lets take money away from all the people who can provide jobs and give it to people who have no clue what to do with it. No one realizes that most of these people who make over a million every year work damn hard at it. Where are their rights? Why do you get to take their hard earned money? They also have families, but more importantly, they provide jobs. Without the ability for them to grow their corporations, unemployment is only going to get worse.

@whukid2 "lets take money away from all the people who can provide jobs..."
Uh, what jobs?
"No one realizes that most of these people who make over a million every year work damn hard at it."
They probably work harder at it than you did wrapping your head around this issue. We're aren't talking about people who "make a million". We're talking about corporations that make $Trillions$ fraudulently.
"...but more importantly, they provide jobs. " Again, what jobs???

@dogstar7 Jobs, meaning the average 124 jobs per bank that they open. They provide money loans for small businesses to get started, indirectly starting thousands of jobs, as well as job security when that business wants to expand. Secondly, I'm going to assume you're a liberal democrat since you're wanting to take from the rich and give to the poor; You can blame your dipshit president for this. That Stimulus? Guess where it went. Had he let capitalism run its course, there would be no "Occupy"

@whukid2 They don't provide jobs. They just outsource our jobs to China or India so they can exploit the wage slaves over there for pennies on the dollar to increase their profits, pay less taxes than we do , while normal citizens who actually have to vote instead of using dollars to buy votes get left in the cold. Then our government bails these criminals out. Its called socialism for the rich, capitalism for the rest of us, and it DOESN'T work. Its called an oligarchy, not a democracy. WakeUp!
FireIceTalon 4 months ago
@FireIceTalon You know, you have some very interesting points there, and I completely agree with your last part; the government should stay the hell out of the economy so its an even playing field. As for the first part, however, they outsource their companies because taxes and wages are just too high. Its too expensive for them to stay domestic, so they outsource. You wanna fix that? Lower taxes and take away minimum wage. That will create an environment where business can grow.
whukid2 4 months ago
@whukid2 It's not government that is the problem, but rather big business the drug companies, Wall Street, and Military industrial complex that has HIJACKED our government that is the problem. No, they dont outsource to China because taxes or wages are too high, we have the lowest taxes in the world among the advanced democracies. They outsource because they are greedy and want to add on to their already obscene and exorbitant profits, while everyone else struggles to make ends meet.
FireIceTalon 4 months ago
@FireIceTalon Military industrial complex? Wow. Its dumbasses like you who make stupid decisions like cutting out funds for Bullet proof vests and Reactive Armor for our troops just to save a couple bucks. Anyways, Businesses are outsourcing because its too expensive to work here. Do you realize the US has the highest minimum wage in the Free world? As for taxes, do you also realize that the wealthy pay 98% of our taxes? How are they supposed to create wealth when they're forced to give it all

What the hell gives you the right to tell me where my friends and family should go?! 80% of all Combat Veterans in Iraq/Afghanistan agreed we should stay there. How do you "know better"?

@whukid2 That's because you suffer from false consciousness my friend :) You think you are fighting for your country, and they use propaganda like "patriotism", "honor", and such to lure you in.

@FireIceTalon It's a well known fact that you're fighting with weapons made by the lowest bidder to fight the highest bidder's war in the military.

Modern day Russia/North Korea, ect) and so that others around the world can share our freedoms, and we're damn good at it. Despite what you think, you don't really know a whole lot about what we do..

@FireIceTalon away? And do you also realize that 82% of all charity donations are done en masse from the wealthy billionaires? (USA Today, June 2006) You seem to have no understanding of business; the whole point is to grow. With all the inflation, tax increases, wage increases, and government involvement, its impossible for big and small businesses to grow. You also fail to realize; people are stupid. They'll squander their millions and go broke, meanwhile someone else will out-do them

@whukid2 Whoopty damn do. They have the money to donate, us working people do not. That is why socialism is a better idea in the first place, than we wouldnt need charity cause then everyone could pay their way. As long as there is corporate/fascist greed, that wont happen. Big businesses dont grow the economy, small businesses and workers DO. If people are too broke to buy anything because we stagnate labor to increase profits, the ecomony does what it is doing now: failing. And indeed...

Besides, Socialism cuts off the ability to create small business.

@FireIceTalon The increased taxes and high inflation (of which are unavoidable since everything is gov't run) mean everyone becomes a poor man. Read up on the history of Nazi Germany and how it came to be; the Weimar republic was socialist. people were starving in the streets and hauling wheelbarrow's of reichmarks around to buy small items such as loaves of bread. Oh, and by the way, Hitler was a socialist.

@whukid2 Wrong again. Hitler was FASCIST, not socialist. Fascism and socialism are fundamental opposites. Take a political science class buddy. And second, you need to quit with the straw man arguments, the citizens of Western Europe once again, are living better than we are, under a social democracy. You can deny it all you want, but the facts remain facts.

@FireIceTalon No, he became fascist. The nazi party began as the worker's socialist party, hell bent on bringing equal wealth to all in order to end the widespread poverty in Germany.

One thing leads to another and you have the 2nd worst genocide in history (the first being committed by Socialist Russia). How well did that turn out again?

@whukid2 TY for proving my point. Socialism was never Hitlers intention, he used it as a intermediary stage to bring Germany back economically so he could turn the nation into a fascist/racist dictatorship, much like what the Tea Party fascists wants to do today. And Russia was never socialist under Stalin, but rather was a totalitarian military dictatorship that has nothing to do with Marxism/socialism.

@FireIceTalon Financially. Lastly, these businesses will completely leave if you give them no incentive to remain in the US.

The fact that you're not coming up with ideas to make it big are your own damn fault. Besides, how is socialism so much better? Instead of having the chance to make a better life, you're stuck where you are. The gov't
whukid2 4 months ago
@whukid2 As I said before, all the countries that are practicing socialism today, in particular Western Europe and Scandinavia all have happier, healthier more productive citizens than the USA. That is a fact. Capitalism CREATES social classes that eventually lead to a caste system where it is almost impossible for those at the bottom to ever move up. Social darwinism is a complete failure, but Ayn Rand never told you that. Anyway, I'm done with you...

The trickled economic approach has been show not to work. The wealth is not being spread around to aid those who need social services, public education etc. Taxing the top 1% by a maximum of 7 % is not going to drastically effect them. After all, they do control 42% of the nationals money.

@zharlow5301 You do realize that public education and social services are free right? You don't even have to be an American citizen, much less a taxpayer to use them. As for everything else, let me spell it out for you; There will always be the Rich and the Poor.Capitalism allows for a third, most used, option; the middle class. Socialism takes the two and increases the difference between them tenfold because there IS no way to get to the top without being "betrothed". Which one is better again?
whukid2 4 months ago
@whukid2
I am aware those services are free. I am also aware those services are drastically being cut do to lack of funding from our government. I never said anything about socialism, I just do not see how it is right that the people who can quite easily afford taxes are getting breaks and the ones who struggle with it are being taxed much greater in income tax.
zharlow5301 4 months ago
@zharlow5301 Actually, most of the public services like Education and Transportation are paid for on a State and County levels. The Federal government often has no reason to be in such places because there's no need. Secondly, the wealthy pay 97% of all taxes in the US today. The people who are "struggling" are doing so because of poor financial decisions (I.E. the housing crash in 2008)
