That big clown at the end bucks up to that smaller man offering them job interviews and says" DUHH YOU GIVIN JOBS OUT DUHH IMA 9/11 FIRST RESPONDER , GIVE ME JOB" all intimidating and disrespectful...yea like he would want your arrogant goon ass working for him.
@CDBBryan And what facts would those be shithead? I served my country by the way, so I'm not a socialist weenie. I would be honored to die in battle against treasonous scum like yourself any day of the week. I also can't help but notice how you chickenhawks never sign up to do your duty, but talk a huge game when it comes to getting the bad guys. Anyway I actually studied economics, so you're as qualified to call me socialist as a burger flipper is to do open heart surgery.
@Newenlightenmentnow i appreciate that you might not consider yourself a socialist but the fact is the OWS is a socialist/marxist movement that is committed to the fall of capitalism - a system, i might add, that has served us well in the past.. yes its all gone a bit wrong at the moment (thanks to fannie & freddy in no small part) but you only have to look at communist regimes to understand that movements like OWS will lead to true totalitarianism if given half the chance.
Jesse LaGrecca you are a moron, an wtf is this(the guy who ruined fox news)? They are doing just fine, all you do is talk loud an that doesnt mean you know what you are talking about, and what is this 99% bullshit, I understand that 99% and 1% make 100 but those percentages arent correct and yet they insist on calling themselves the 99%
@streetninja1502 thats because the left-wing is totally delusional. They know people are angry with Wall st and these marxists are trying to hitch their wagon to that anger.
The OWS is an opportunist parasite who believe that they can use this crisis to bring their belovid Marxism in through the back door. Fanny & Freddy (the cause of the crash) was a left-wing institution, built by the very same marxists who are now trying to pin all the blame on their ideological enemy - Capitalist Wall st.
@atlantichouse HURRAY FOR MORE PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW THE TRUTH!
It's not about socialism, it's about not being exploited, getting a true "For the People, By the People" government. Seriously, you want to keep regurgitate lies that Fox News spoon feeds you? Go right ahead, let this country continue down this path toward a totalitarian state owned by corporations. Let their money speak for you.
Look at any politician, see how he votes, then check who are their beneficiaries.
i share your concerns about politicians who pretend to work for the people when really they are secretly working for lobby interest groups (we have the same problem over here) but the real problem 4 me has been the migration of manufacturing jobs over to china. This has destroyed working class jobs by the million. The west has relied too heavily on the finance sector whilst neglecting manufacturing - which would of balanced out the economy.
@streetninja1502 Arbitrary number that's easy to talk about and inspire people. True numbers are closer to 99.999% and 0.001%. Do you have money to bribe and control elected officials? I sure don't. I know my government is ignoring me and passing laws and regulations that are not in my best interest. I know they're spending my tax dollars on things I do not want them to.
@tipuppy2011: That reply alone is why the GOP will fail, why this movement will prosper and why I have no care for anyone with your mentality. Wake up or get woke up.
@usaf317: You just proved my point. You are a cop-out, as well as a complacent douchebag whose apathy will be your undoing. You are no longer necessary.
so whats wrong with that - go get a job - anyone would think that the little guy had asked him to go fuck his mother. still.. the big bully intimitated & silenced his seditious little mouth in the end... stalin would of been proud of that example of freedom of expression. ha ha.. the same old left, frightened to death of off-message hecklers.
@atlantichouse It's not just about employment cocksucker? It's about corruption in government. It's about how the banks continue to speculate with depositor money and will inevitably cause another collapse. If you could actually read and do math, you'd have a shot at understanding real economics, but you don't want to know. You don't want to be confused by the facts.
@Newenlightenmentnow Yea and you commie's are going to save us all from nasty corrupt capitalist governments aren't you?... just like you did back in the USSR.
@atlantichouse Did I or LaGreca ever say anything about wanting to overthrow capitalism? At what FUCKING POINT was anti-capitalism mentioned? No I'm for capitalism. What corporate dicksuckers like you and your puppetmasters want is corporate welfare. If you fuck up, make an inferior product, defraud your clients out of millions, collapse the economy, its all good. You get your lobbyists to get government bailouts and THEN give yourselves bonuses. We need the death penalty for scum like that
@Newenlightenmentnow but this occupy movement is a neo-communist movement. if you don't get that then your a retard. i happen to agree with a lot of your points regarding this crony capitalist de-railment but i just cannot stand along side an opportunist communist movement - who in truth are very much the source of this crisis in capital.
It's simply ensuring that the people are not driven into a hole because of exploitation from huge, too big to fail, corporations. If we fail, we fall, so should banks and corporations. Pay back 100% of what we gave them, and some more for interest.
I don't want people getting paid for work they didn't do. Plain and simple. Seems you're okay with corporate money getting more and more control of the government, getting ever so closer to totalitarianism.
@No1Complainer The answer is not to bring down Wall st... but to rebuild the manufacturing base so has to diversify the economy and not have all our eggs in one basket.
German - which is a rich country - managed to hold onto its manufactoring base throughout the entire period that the rest of the west handed its industry over to the east. It never got priced out of the market by the cheaper labour, so it is possible for a rich nation to retain its manufacture if it acts intelligently.
@atlantichouse And just how in the fuck are the a neo-communist movement? Did your overlords in the John Birch society, tea party, fox news, or Rush Limbaugh tell you that? Since I actually understand macroeconomics because I studied it, please enlighten me as to exactly what points the OWS movement have called for that would indicate a planned economy? Exactly. Keep protecting your corporate pay masters while the snuff out innovation. Fucking traitor!
@atlantichouse Hmm I didn't run, sometimes youtube doesn't send an update when I get a comment. I love debate, and am always happy to humiliate a right wing fucktard, who doesn't even have a GED, breaths exclusively through his or her mouth, and has an IQ of 50 from generations of inbreeding.
@No1Complainer Exactly...Damn I hate morons like atlantichouse. Seriously, how many of them do you think are sock puppets here on behalf of koch industries or some other treasonous lobbying firm.
@Newenlightenmentnow The source of this crisis was the implosion of the subprime mortgage market, namely fannie and freddy and all the other corrupt quango's set up by the leftwing democrates
I guess phase two of the wrecking operation was to then pin all the blame on to Wall st and hope that the marxist inspired teachers in all the colleges had done a good job of subverting the youth into dispising there own system, so that a new generation of muppets could join in the OWS october revolution.
@atlantichouse That was brilliant, can i have more of your fucktard wisdom? Why did the subprime crisis happen? Because lobbyists from the banking industry lobbied to have restrictions removed about who could be given loans AND whether banks had to retain these mortgages. Pinning it on Freddie and Fannie makes me laugh. You people would blame a rape victim for being raped. Fuck you, fuck your contard politics, and no I'm not a communist.
@Newenlightenmentnow no. sub-prime mortgage market began because the whinging leftwing and its minority pressure groups affiliates cried racism when-ever a bank denied low pay workers (who back in 70s/80s were for the large part black/hispanic) a mortgage.
Government Sponsered Entities (Fannie & Freddy) were set up - at the left-wings behest - to right this terrible racist injustice. Wall St was forced by law to support these GSE's
@Newenlightenmentnow To protect themselves from these bad investments and off load the risk, Wall St packaged up this shit debt and sold it off across the world. Therefore dragging the rest of the western world into this left-wing inspired shit-pit.
@Newenlightenmentnow So, why does the occupy movement not ALSO occupy the White House and the Fed? They gave and produced the money for these bailouts. I mean, honestly, the things the Fed is doing is unreal. No one can take OWS seriously cause you guys are playing party politics, plain and simple. "Occupying" the White House would obviously be a more direct and plausible way to reach most of your goals. But, you'd never do that to Obama. Pull the wool up from you eyes! D.C. is not your friend!
@theXb0yz Well, considering that the fed is corrupted by wallstreet, wallstreet is the correct place to start. And Alan Grayson did tremendous work interrogating Ben Bernake while he was in congress. You're also incorrect, we would protest Obama and there were protests in front of the White House regarding the Keystone pipeline. So no, the left is far less partisan than the right, and when our leaders fuck up, we call them on it.
@Newenlightenmentnow Obama approved the second bailout. Wall Street didn't make him approve it. He did it on his own, that is why he is the president. The buck is supposed to stop with him. Protesting the Keystone pipeline!? What the hell does that have to do with this. I love how you mention Alan Grayson in regard to the Fed, but fail to mention Ron Paul! You are being partisan. Obama has fucked up. He has increased out debt in 3 years as much as Bush did in 8! But you hardly hear about that.
@theXb0yz Yes, because I dislike Ron Paul intensely. His austrian economics are reckless, and would bring absolute disaster to our economy. End the FED? That would destroy the economy? Put us on the gold standard? That would make us vulnerable to gold speculation. The keystone pipeline has everything to do with it because you said OWS is partisan and never criticizes the left. I provided contrary evidence. Kiss my ass.
@theXb0yz Second point, Ron Paul is a member of the John Birch society, and has a political agenda similar to the treasonous Koch Brothers. Alan Grayson in contrast has the interests of the American people. He did work with Ron Paul because both oppose the FED but for different reasons. Ron Paul opposes the existence of the FED Alan Grayson opposes their recent actions. An alliance is logical. Sorry paulite, your guy will never be president, and that's a good thing.
@Newenlightenmentnow lol now I'm a "paulite" just b/c I'm aware of his work on the Fed? I don't think we should go to the gold standard. But the Fed needs to be overhauled. It's a disaster right now and is destroying our economy. As for Keystone, that's such a minor issue, and such a small thing to point to and say "See, see! We aren't partisan!". The amount of money Bush spent was ridiculous! Obama has spent the same in a fraction of the time!! Our debt is the biggest threat to our democracy.
@oldjizzy Funny how you Wing Baggers always call anyone that can put 2 sentences together an elitist.
Just amazing.
In other words if you don't studder and have a half idea what you are talking about, and don't fall into the Fox news lemming camp, you must think you are better than everyone else.
You know what?.....You are better, you read and think and speak for your self. You don't allow talk radio
and Fox to funnel feed you with their propaganda half cooked tripe.
CAPITALISM was designed only for CORRUPT OPPORTUNISTIC MANIPULATIVE LAZY POLITICIAN. BANKERS. LAWYERS. DRUG LORDS. JUDGES. TERRORIST. ELITE CRIMINALS. DICTATORS. RULERS. KING. SULTANATE. EMPEROR etc. etc..

...and he comes up with getting a job at burger king...paying 7.25 an hour...lol. yep, what a perspective! thats exaxtly the point. Working poor, the income these days does not pay the bills any more! Look at the gini index....the wealth gap has been drifting apart in the last 40 years and here we are....
@wickedwheezel According to the Geni Index; the USA is equal to Mexico and The Philippines in income disparity. The Philippines is really a third world country and the USA has followed third world policy to arrive in its current condition.
@bloodandwinearered I completely agree with you. Thats my point! The US is a third world country in many ways....also that it still has the death penalty!
@RandomShellAccount Dude, who pays you to troll these comments? You bomb on every Jesse video with this same spam bullshit. Totally weak. Are you a hater, or does someone pay you to post this horseshit?
@austintool Uhhh, I've only posted on TWO Jesse Lagreca videos.
Also, you can call me a 'troll' till the cows come home...don't give a shit. ORRRRR you can pay attention to Co=opt attempts from the "Left Cover" activist groups who want this to be a Left vs. Right debate.
Jesse Lagreca. A freelance writer on Daily Kos..Hmmmmmm
Go look up Jesse's profile at Daily Kos under the name Ministry Of Truth. He speaks out against "Tea Baggers" yet hardly mentions politicians from the DLC and DNC for our troubles at all. I looked through almost his entire history or "diary" input and it's all "republicans bad, Dems...need to do more".
He's Left Cover and a media darling for the CO-OPTERS.
Listen to even how well rehearsed his talking points are. Like a robot.
To the person who made the rude FU remark to me, that is the problem with those who want someting more than the Burger King jobs. With that attitude, you will never go far and no wonder. If I couldn't only get a job at Burger King, I would do it to the best of my ability and be hopeful that I would be recognized and moved forward. I would still be out looking for something better.
Jesse LaGreca has very strong arguments and apparently as you can see he can debate which turns out to be a tough problem for frauds and liars who work for propaganda machines. He has the courage and self esteem. You may already know that he's been in the news as well. Really a great respect to Jesse for standing up for the people who fight for their rights and freedom just as Ron Paul who happens to be an unmatched canditate for USA President position. Go Jesse! Go Ron Paul! Freedom awaits you!
That rude man obviously doesn't "know the facts" as well as he'd like to make us think he does.
The average yearly salary of a General Manager at Burger King is around $45,000. They might make $75-80k in NYC, but with the higher cost of living, I imagine it's fairly comparable lifestyle to a GM anywhere else.
Ugh. The end of this vid is so effing premature, I can't even stand it.
It must have been sooooo hard not to hit that dbag. A dbag who, I can't believe this, offered to go with Jesse to look for a job. As if he didn't notice how obviously educated and well-spoken Jesse is... as if Jesse was protesting because he literally couldn't get a job. Typical republican= Ignorant asshole.
@lockemyhart I know, I love Jesse for taking a stance & letting these pricks know how insulting it is to be told they're plenty of jobs available @ fast food restaurants when you really don't need a bachelors or masters degree to work in the fast food industry!
I dont want to have to work hard and prove myself to my employer. I want a managerial job with full benefits handed to me. Its my right as an American citizen! Gimme
seriously, Jesse needs to disregard ignorant people like that who fail to see the big picture. By entertaining that guy he risks reducing himself. Good luck Jesse, you have 100% of my support!
I am impressed. Contrast this guy with Breitbart of the T-Party. No contest who comes out on top. Breitbart's obscenity-laced diatribe versus polite, to the point, logical comments. Too bad we don't see more of this. it suddenly made me realize that most of the people I know are like this (even moderate republicans....an endangered species), speaking to each other with civility and respect. That attitude is disappearing fast at least in our public venues.Television especially..
Another one of your paid workers, who was staging fake violence on the bridge with MOve ON dot org.... all professional communist organizers and agitators.. What abunch of DUPES.
@themaclady You don't even know what a communist is. You know only what your corporate owned media will spoon feed you. Turn off your TV and read something for once.
The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it comes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group.
Does no one else see how scripted this bullshit is? This encounter would NEVER happen. This is a fucking farse. Keep your focus on the actual protest fuck this guy and his media tour.
@VirginiaTagz oh stop it. He's great. He's a terrific speaker and HE knows he's not the spokesperson for anyone but himself. He's says so repeatedly. Have you listened to a word of what he said?
THERE IS NO REPRESENTATIVE OF THE 99%!!! Leaders are proped up to be chopped down! He's a well versed speaker thats ALL!!! You will KILL the movement if you prop people up!
I heard that even Burger King jobs were hard to get anyways. I think people drastically overestimate how hard it is to get those jobs when the economy for better jobs sucks.
Lol at the EPIC HYPOCRISY. First it's "Mr. president where are the jobs there are no jobs mr. President where are the Jobs?!" and then it's "what you can't find a job? Your a bum there are plenty of jobs right now". make up your minds you right wing trash!!
@UtherPendragan No Burger King can not pay for a mortgage or rent and utilities. The minimum wage barely gets a kid by in college that lives on campus or at home.
@dawniemc123 Seriously. I work at a minimum wage job and live with relatives rent free, and I can barely afford my car, my education, food, and basic living expenses. And no, I don't hate capitalism and the US. I hate the people who ask why young people sneer at working at Burger King and why we don't get another job as well - How can you expect someone to afford increasing school costs and ever-increasing living expenses on $8.00 per hour, and have time for school with multiple jobs???
@TheBarroomHero321 and before you fucking old timers say "I worked 13 jobs and went to school, blah blah blah, I invented time travel and a 43 hour day," you can suck a dick. I don't give a fuck whatever story you invent saying you did x and y and z back in the 1970's! THEY ARE OVER, YOUR GENERATION HAS RUINED EVERYTHING MY GENERATION STOOD TO GAIN! INSTEAD OF GIVING US A FOUNDATION LIKE YOUR PARENTS GAVE YOU, YOU CUT OUR FUCKING LEGS OFF! Just die and make fucking room for us! We're here!
@TheBarroomHero321 I agree with you and feel for you. It is totally unfair. When there was an American Dream(50's/60's) we could afford to send our kids to college and the family was able to afford a single income and a mother could be there for their kids. Now we have to have 2 incomes and barely have the ability to pay for our kids to go to college. It has not been this way in years and it is getting worse. The generations before did not have to suffer the consequences of the greedy corp.
@UtherPendragan Yeah that's a great idea. Work 2 jobs and neglect your school work if you are a college student or even worse neglect your children if you have a family. The minimum wage is not a decent wage and if someone is getting unemployment from a previous wage that was decent they are receiving more from unemployment than they would from minimum wage and why should they give up their homes to work at Burger King when their time could be spent on finding work that matches their skils/pay.
@dawniemc123 Wait a minute. What is this bullshit about neglecting school or children? People chose to go to school or have kids. Everyone is always looking for a better job, even those that have one. The truth is you do whatever it takes. You are correct about unemployment paying more than some jobs. However you are not required to take a job that pays less than you are reciving..
@UtherPendragan Yes people choose to got to school to better their lives and not have to try to squeeze by on minimum wage as they should and people had children before they got laid off from their jobs and I am certainly not condoning the decision to raise a family while on mim wage or b4 they know they can afford it, but for those who had families and a mortgage and a decent wage then lost their jobs due to the economy risk so much by accepting a min wage job esp. if unemp pays more.
@dawniemc123 Not everyone can go to college, either. Most either cannot afford it or do not qualify (grades, IQ, etc)... So we need FAIR LIVING WAGES THAT PEOPLE CAN RAISE FAMILIES ON! Because we should all be able to raise a family, regardless of wealth.
Respond to this video... Isn't it ridiculous that minimum wage (or working at Burger King) pays so little that even unemployment for those that had a decent job prior to being laid off pays so much more? It does not make sense for someone to take that job at Burger King and risk losing their homes or the ability to pay their bills, esp if they have a family?
@UtherPendragan In addition, Burger King or min wage is really only going to work if the individual is a teen or student living at home other wise it is ridiculous to expect someone to work there as and adult, esp. with a family or a college student without family support. I could not have done it. I did not have family support and had to go to trade school to get a skill to live on my own before I could afford college and living on my own. BK or min. wage never would have worked. It's for kids
@dawniemc123 Fare for who? A fare wage is whatever you are will to take and someone else is willing to pay. The minimum wage is commie crap dreamed up at some college pot smoking party. The minimum wage has hurt more workers than it has ever helped.
@UtherPendragan Oh Uther, uther, uther. Did you not remember that Jesus was a commie? He told people to give AWAY their stuff, share everything, help everyone... Not hoard your money and stuff, you big knucklehead. (giving you noogies now)... You should smoke a doob and you'll understand this Jesus commie stuff better.... lol.
@IG2HI i am just a regular guy and this fat slob doesnt speak for me. i dont want any part of his socialist ideals. the guy down the road is rich.,...so what! i work for myself and i dont want the other guys money. i am also not going to pay for someone else to go to college for free or for there healthcare. i pay my own way and so should everyone else.
You are either misunderstanding what this is about or are deliberately trying to distort their message.
Let me assume you misunderstand my friend.
The system we are fighting(and make no mistake about the 99%, it is not a slogan, a vast majority of Americans stand WITH OWS) believes it is RIGHT for someone to PROFIT, when a poor man suffers, and loses what he HAS worked HARD his whole life for.
@AlexKrycek411 no a vast majority of Americans do not support your protest. i agree we need reforms but the vast majority of the people protesting have indicated that capitalsim must be replaced by socialism and even communism. i have a right to the money my business generates. i have a right to the property i own socialism is not the answer.
@usaf317 Yet somewhere down the road you got some type of assistance for your education, your home and even provide you the instruction to sustain a semblance of a life. Are you saying no one is entitled to assistance?
@IG2HI assistance? 17 years in the military both active and reserve with deployments to war zones several times. i earned my gi bill. i didnt take grants and i didnt take out a loan to buy my house. i paid cash for my house, car and truck. i dont know what you do with your money but i save mine. i buy things with cash not credit.
you should not get money from the federal government to attend school.
@usaf317 U are a moron. Its impossible buy a house straight cash. Unless u walked into a bank with 80 or 90 gs in your pocket. You dont make enough in military for that. U are a liar when you said u bought all those things straight cash. Most rich people still pay monthly for their house. still have to pay property tax and to afford all 3, car. truck. house at same time u would have to be someone like bill gates...which your not. stop lying.
@mikefiend i am only a reservist these days. i work for myself the rest of the month and have since i left active duty at age 22. i bought my home from a tax auction...i paid 15g cash for it. over the years i have improved it and added on....all this work i did myself. my car i bought cash as i did with my truck. i am not bill gate for sure. my brother got his house the same way. i aso buy and flip at least one house a year with my brother...we do all the work ourselves. its called self reliance
@usaf317 yeah and you also got a big fat bonus from whatever branch you were in that enabled you to buy that home because i know you couldnt do it on a e-5 or 6 salary,thats for sure
@sabreyow i ddint get a big fat bonus from the military. i left active duty at age 22 and i am a reservist now. i work for myself. i have my own business and the money i make in that business is what enables me to purchase things. i tend to SAVE my money and when i have enough i go buy what i want with cash.
i am an e7...but i dont spend that money...i save it!
@usaf317 A Pell Grant and a Student Loan are used as a leg-up, not a hand-out. I'm pretty sure my taxpayer dollars went to fund your G.I. Bill. Get it straight: YOU earned your possesions, but it took MY taxpayer dollars to allow you to have it, Since you represent the 53%, you chose to cop-out and be complacent to the 1%. You are nothing more than dead weight and therefore uncessary. BTW, those protesters in the OWS movement are also veterans, and you just dishonored them with your apathy.
@IG2HI the tax payers paid for my gi bill of course...but its not like i didnt earn it in goddamn combat you communist bastard! i am sure that i pay a far greater ammount in taxes than you ever will. because i was able to get the gi bill i have continued to serve as a reservist...so the tax payer has got more out of my service than they spent on my gi bill. i am all for reforms but i will never agree to more socialism.
@IG2HI I would pay 3 times the amount of taxes to support true men of the military that will fight for the republic. I would pay 10 times the amount if the military would do the right thing and arrest and execute Hussein Obama for treason against the USA.
@tipuppy2011 Just so you know, almost every single person in office is guilty of treason against the US and it's people. It's not just Obama. We need him, but he's just one of several hundred. Please remember that.
@NarNarJinx o, right, you must not have grown up around boys. well, jarjar, the term "fag" implies "asshole" and "dickhead" while also implying that the person is "weak" and their argument is flawed. such a shame people still give credence to semantics when really you know what the fuck I'm talking about, asshole.
@SOBXDWG If you want a good job and a good salery why don't you earn it like everyone else. Why do you exept the government to take someone else's money to give to you because you are a failure?
@moonshot925...These people aren't asking for handouts. They're asking for opportunity. I know many many many college educated hard working people that have lost their jobs due to no fault of their own.
Your type seek to marginalize them by calling them socialists, fascist, lazy, ect. Have you put in 700 job application lately and not gotten a call back..I know people that have.
Turn off the Fox news. Do some thinking on your own
@SOBXDWG Turn off the MSNBC you brainwashed drone. If you want something you should earn it. I don't care if you can't get a job. Times are hard for everyone. Just remember that there are many people who have it much worse than you.
@moonshot925...I have two engineering degrees, worked my way thru college, pay a mortgage, and pay taxes. I've earned everything I've got and I still got a pay cut while Wall Street gets more bonuses. Wake the fuck up!!!
"There are plenty of jobs avalible right now" ...like when 30,000 people apply for 5,000 McDonald's jobs?? Oh yeah...plenty right?
"WOW. He did that on one day...." Good job dude...you just belittled a 9/11 first responder. Now you will burn in Hell.
@SOBXDWG Then why don't you protest the federal government which has grown in size by 140% since 2001 and is strangling you with mandates, regulations, restrictions and over taxation? Why don't you protst the minimum wage law or Dodd-frank? I agree with you that Wall Street got us into this mess but why don't you protest the government which keeps bailing them out? Why don't you protst the Federal reserve which is printing money out of thin air and wants you to pay intrest on it?You are clueless
@moonshot925..Haven't you heard...Deregulation and loosened lending standards are what caused the financial crisis, but you think we should deregulate more?
Taxes are the lowest they've been since the 1950s. The top tax bracket was 90%. What taxes have gone up in the past 10 years?
Wall street is the root of the problem. They have bought both parties and buy elections, and yet you are protecting them.
@SOBXDWG No dumbass. The government forced banks to give loans to people who could not pay them back. It all started with Jimmy Carter and the CRA. Barney Frank and Chris Dodd should be in jail. They are the ones who caused the problem. If Wall Street cause4d the problem then why did the government bail them out? Let me guess, they were "to big to fail"? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. America has the higest corporate tax rate in the world. We have the most regulations and resztriction in the past 50 years.
its all our own fault we let the corrupt government get away with it well done to occupy a hospital in USA thats shocking

@streetninja1502 thats because the left-wing is totally delusional. They know people are angry with Wall st and these marxists are trying to hitch their wagon to that anger.
The OWS is an opportunist parasite who believe that they can use this crisis to bring their belovid Marxism in through the back door. Fanny & Freddy (the cause of the crash) was a left-wing institution, built by the very same marxists who are now trying to pin all the blame on their ideological enemy - Capitalist Wall st.

Go right ahead, let this country continue down this path toward a totalitarian state owned by corporations. Let their money speak for you.

@No1Complainer We don't get fox news here in the UK.
i share your concerns about politicians who pretend to work for the people when really they are secretly working for lobby interest groups (we have the same problem over here) but the real problem 4 me has been the migration of manufacturing jobs over to china. This has destroyed working class jobs by the million. The west has relied too heavily on the finance sector whilst neglecting manufacturing - which would of balanced out the economy.

It's simply ensuring that the people are not driven into a hole because of exploitation from huge, too big to fail, corporations. If we fail, we fall, so should banks and corporations. Pay back 100% of what we gave them, and some more for interest.
I don't want people getting paid for work they didn't do. Plain and simple. Seems you're okay with corporate money getting more and more control of the government, getting ever so closer to totalitarianism.

@No1Complainer The answer is not to bring down Wall st... but to rebuild the manufacturing base so has to diversify the economy and not have all our eggs in one basket.
German - which is a rich country - managed to hold onto its manufactoring base throughout the entire period that the rest of the west handed its industry over to the east. It never got priced out of the market by the cheaper labour, so it is possible for a rich nation to retain its manufacture if it acts intelligently.

@Newenlightenmentnow The source of this crisis was the implosion of the subprime mortgage market, namely fannie and freddy and all the other corrupt quango's set up by the leftwing democrates
I guess phase two of the wrecking operation was to then pin all the blame on to Wall st and hope that the marxist inspired teachers in all the colleges had done a good job of subverting the youth into dispising there own system, so that a new generation of muppets could join in the OWS october revolution.
atlantichouse 2 months ago
@atlantichouse That was brilliant, can i have more of your fucktard wisdom? Why did the subprime crisis happen? Because lobbyists from the banking industry lobbied to have restrictions removed about who could be given loans AND whether banks had to retain these mortgages. Pinning it on Freddie and Fannie makes me laugh. You people would blame a rape victim for being raped. Fuck you, fuck your contard politics, and no I'm not a communist.
Newenlightenmentnow 1 month ago
@Newenlightenmentnow no. sub-prime mortgage market began because the whinging leftwing and its minority pressure groups affiliates cried racism when-ever a bank denied low pay workers (who back in 70s/80s were for the large part black/hispanic) a mortgage.
Government Sponsered Entities (Fannie & Freddy) were set up - at the left-wings behest - to right this terrible racist injustice. Wall St was forced by law to support these GSE's

@Newenlightenmentnow So, why does the occupy movement not ALSO occupy the White House and the Fed? They gave and produced the money for these bailouts. I mean, honestly, the things the Fed is doing is unreal. No one can take OWS seriously cause you guys are playing party politics, plain and simple. "Occupying" the White House would obviously be a more direct and plausible way to reach most of your goals. But, you'd never do that to Obama. Pull the wool up from you eyes! D.C. is not your friend!
theXb0yz 1 month ago
@theXb0yz Well, considering that the fed is corrupted by wallstreet, wallstreet is the correct place to start. And Alan Grayson did tremendous work interrogating Ben Bernake while he was in congress. You're also incorrect, we would protest Obama and there were protests in front of the White House regarding the Keystone pipeline. So no, the left is far less partisan than the right, and when our leaders fuck up, we call them on it.
Newenlightenmentnow 1 month ago
@Newenlightenmentnow Obama approved the second bailout. Wall Street didn't make him approve it. He did it on his own, that is why he is the president. The buck is supposed to stop with him. Protesting the Keystone pipeline!? What the hell does that have to do with this. I love how you mention Alan Grayson in regard to the Fed, but fail to mention Ron Paul! You are being partisan. Obama has fucked up. He has increased out debt in 3 years as much as Bush did in 8! But you hardly hear about that.
theXb0yz 1 month ago
@theXb0yz Yes, because I dislike Ron Paul intensely. His austrian economics are reckless, and would bring absolute disaster to our economy. End the FED? That would destroy the economy? Put us on the gold standard? That would make us vulnerable to gold speculation. The keystone pipeline has everything to do with it because you said OWS is partisan and never criticizes the left. I provided contrary evidence. Kiss my ass.
Newenlightenmentnow 1 month ago
@theXb0yz Second point, Ron Paul is a member of the John Birch society, and has a political agenda similar to the treasonous Koch Brothers. Alan Grayson in contrast has the interests of the American people. He did work with Ron Paul because both oppose the FED but for different reasons. Ron Paul opposes the existence of the FED Alan Grayson opposes their recent actions. An alliance is logical. Sorry paulite, your guy will never be president, and that's a good thing.
Newenlightenmentnow 1 month ago
@Newenlightenmentnow lol now I'm a "paulite" just b/c I'm aware of his work on the Fed? I don't think we should go to the gold standard. But the Fed needs to be overhauled. It's a disaster right now and is destroying our economy. As for Keystone, that's such a minor issue, and such a small thing to point to and say "See, see! We aren't partisan!". The amount of money Bush spent was ridiculous! Obama has spent the same in a fraction of the time!! Our debt is the biggest threat to our democracy.

Isn't it ridiculous that minimum wage (or working at Burger King) pays so little that even unemployment for those that had a decent job prior to being laid off pays so much more?

You are either misunderstanding what this is about or are deliberately trying to distort their message.
Let me assume you misunderstand my friend.
The system we are fighting(and make no mistake about the 99%, it is not a slogan, a vast majority of Americans stand WITH OWS) believes it is RIGHT for someone to PROFIT, when a poor man suffers, and loses what he HAS worked HARD his whole life for.
That is the broken system, and it has to end.

@AlexKrycek411 no a vast majority of Americans do not support your protest. i agree we need reforms but the vast majority of the people protesting have indicated that capitalsim must be replaced by socialism and even communism. i have a right to the money my business generates. i have a right to the property i own socialism is not the answer.

@usaf317 Yet somewhere down the road you got some type of assistance for your education, your home and even provide you the instruction to sustain a semblance of a life. Are you saying no one is entitled to assistance?
IG2HI 4 months ago
@IG2HI assistance? 17 years in the military both active and reserve with deployments to war zones several times. i earned my gi bill. i didnt take grants and i didnt take out a loan to buy my house. i paid cash for my house, car and truck. i dont know what you do with your money but i save mine. i buy things with cash not credit.
you should not get money from the federal government to attend school.

@usaf317 U are a moron. Its impossible buy a house straight cash. Unless u walked into a bank with 80 or 90 gs in your pocket. You dont make enough in military for that. U are a liar when you said u bought all those things straight cash. Most rich people still pay monthly for their house. still have to pay property tax and to afford all 3, car. truck. house at same time u would have to be someone like bill gates...which your not. stop lying.

@sabreyow i ddint get a big fat bonus from the military. i left active duty at age 22 and i am a reservist now. i work for myself. i have my own business and the money i make in that business is what enables me to purchase things. i tend to SAVE my money and when i have enough i go buy what i want with cash.
i am an e7...but i dont spend that money...i save it!

@usaf317 A Pell Grant and a Student Loan are used as a leg-up, not a hand-out. I'm pretty sure my taxpayer dollars went to fund your G.I. Bill. Get it straight: YOU earned your possesions, but it took MY taxpayer dollars to allow you to have it, Since you represent the 53%, you chose to cop-out and be complacent to the 1%. You are nothing more than dead weight and therefore uncessary. BTW, those protesters in the OWS movement are also veterans, and you just dishonored them with your apathy.

@IG2HI the tax payers paid for my gi bill of course...but its not like i didnt earn it in goddamn combat you communist bastard! i am sure that i pay a far greater ammount in taxes than you ever will. because i was able to get the gi bill i have continued to serve as a reservist...so the tax payer has got more out of my service than they spent on my gi bill. i am all for reforms but i will never agree to more socialism.

@IG2HI I would pay 3 times the amount of taxes to support true men of the military that will fight for the republic. I would pay 10 times the amount if the military would do the right thing and arrest and execute Hussein Obama for treason against the USA.
tipuppy2011 3 months ago
@tipuppy2011 Just so you know, almost every single person in office is guilty of treason against the US and it's people. It's not just Obama. We need him, but he's just one of several hundred. Please remember that.

@NarNarJinx o, right, you must not have grown up around boys. well, jarjar, the term "fag" implies "asshole" and "dickhead" while also implying that the person is "weak" and their argument is flawed. such a shame people still give credence to semantics when really you know what the fuck I'm talking about, asshole.

@SOBXDWG If you want a good job and a good salery why don't you earn it like everyone else. Why do you exept the government to take someone else's money to give to you because you are a failure?
moonshot925 4 months ago
@moonshot925...These people aren't asking for handouts. They're asking for opportunity. I know many many many college educated hard working people that have lost their jobs due to no fault of their own.
Your type seek to marginalize them by calling them socialists, fascist, lazy, ect. Have you put in 700 job application lately and not gotten a call back..I know people that have.
Turn off the Fox news. Do some thinking on your own
SOBXDWG 4 months ago 2
@SOBXDWG Turn off the MSNBC you brainwashed drone. If you want something you should earn it. I don't care if you can't get a job. Times are hard for everyone. Just remember that there are many people who have it much worse than you.
moonshot925 4 months ago
@moonshot925...I have two engineering degrees, worked my way thru college, pay a mortgage, and pay taxes. I've earned everything I've got and I still got a pay cut while Wall Street gets more bonuses. Wake the fuck up!!!
"There are plenty of jobs avalible right now" ...like when 30,000 people apply for 5,000 McDonald's jobs?? Oh yeah...plenty right?
"WOW. He did that on one day...." Good job dude...you just belittled a 9/11 first responder. Now you will burn in Hell.

@SOBXDWG Then why don't you protest the federal government which has grown in size by 140% since 2001 and is strangling you with mandates, regulations, restrictions and over taxation? Why don't you protst the minimum wage law or Dodd-frank? I agree with you that Wall Street got us into this mess but why don't you protest the government which keeps bailing them out? Why don't you protst the Federal reserve which is printing money out of thin air and wants you to pay intrest on it?You are clueless

@moonshot925..Haven't you heard...Deregulation and loosened lending standards are what caused the financial crisis, but you think we should deregulate more?
Taxes are the lowest they've been since the 1950s. The top tax bracket was 90%. What taxes have gone up in the past 10 years?
Wall street is the root of the problem. They have bought both parties and buy elections, and yet you are protecting them.
Post Facts if you want to be taken seriously...
SOBXDWG 4 months ago
@SOBXDWG No dumbass. The government forced banks to give loans to people who could not pay them back. It all started with Jimmy Carter and the CRA. Barney Frank and Chris Dodd should be in jail. They are the ones who caused the problem. If Wall Street cause4d the problem then why did the government bail them out? Let me guess, they were "to big to fail"? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. America has the higest corporate tax rate in the world. We have the most regulations and resztriction in the past 50 years.
