  • @Dickeymoe206 I agree but Bush had the power to improve the conditions but didn't. After all, it's his job to help fix the economy not let gas get to $4 then leave.

  • but how could bush have lowered gas prices? even if the economy was great gas prices would still be high, all over Europe gas prices are about 6-7 dollars a gallon, so high gas prices is probably something we are going to have to live with, so buy fuel efficient cars

  • Nice guy alert at 1:06 :)

  • I protest how reality works--oh wait I don't, I'm not young and uninformed.

  • @philosophergenius dont forget lazy

  • @StonewallJackson26 and yes I do love my country my father severed in the military for 23 years and was in Iraq but felt alot of things could have been handled much better.

  • @StonewallJackson26 If your wondering I'm not liberal so you don't have to worry about me selling my shirt for drugs and killing your property values....Wait Bush already did that(Housing bubble joke). Frankly I'm on neither side it just seems like that people who don't care for you are elected and all they want is money.So yeah you shouldn't assuming thing based on what you hear. I know there are some a crazy people down at OWS who are just there to be there but that doesn't mean it's everybody

  • @RandomJ0e Um,,,sorry,,the housing bubble was the democrats baby,not Bushes. Good ole Jimmy Carter signed into law a bill that forced banks to lower their lending standards.But that was not killing the housing market fast enough. So Bill Clinton signed a bill further degrading the lending standards. That and the deception by Bernie-Ma and Freddie-Mac by telling every one that every thing was OK,when it wasn't,was the root cause of the housing bubble crash.

  • @Dickeymoe206 Bush took two war fronts and eight years to accumulate his dept. And in his worst year his budget deficit was $499 billion.Step forward to Obama. Obama tripled what Bush took eight years to do in less then 90 days. pfft But that's OK because Obama " had a mess". Here's how you think of it.Drink a can of beer,then put it down,,that is what bush did.Then drink two more and place them beside the first one.Now look at the three beers.That is what Obama did in 90days.

  • @StonewallJackson26 He did it so well but hey,it's easy to control a nation to scared to walk outside their front door. That what you get when to people profit most from fear and war control the major news outlets. Skip a few years and see what you got republicans fight each other. It's like a zoo they can't even attack right guy.... Wait then they must be republican(Iraq joke). At least the terrorist got 2 out of 3 (9/11 joke).

  • @StonewallJackson26 Oh, Sweetie I just love that ignorant mentality. Sit down and let me educate you. First of all OWS is not a “Liberal” movement it's a non partisan. Liberal do care/serve here are a few Jim Webb, Jack Murtha and Richard Gephardt. He is a video of a solider defending OWS /watch?v=ugQhhJAUtuA.Please research before making a accusation. I love this text book Conservatism.How Obama is the anti-Christ and we need to stop him.How Bush and Budlight are the world's greatest things.

  • @RandomJ0e Jack Murtha called a squad of soldiers cold blooded killers, not sure if he really cares about the men protecting our country when he says that

  • @railroadtrash09 Soliders where in the occupy wall street movement and the Army usually pays off student debts for service. What about them? Here's a video showing a US soldier being attacked /watch?v=OZLyUK0t0vQ

  • @RandomJ0e I doubt many Soldiers or Servicemen would step foot in OWS. Most servicemen are Conservative: Fact. Why? Because Liberals don't give a shit about the military.

  • Take a fucking bath, kids.

  • @totictexts Typical corporate cock sucker trying to slander against people excercising their 1st ammendment rights. 

  • @samuriguy909 You have no idea what you're talking about you stupid little bitch.

  • @railroadtrash09 perfect ideas! maybe a little less language lol but its a free country because people actually WORKED and FOUGHT for it. isn't that a great thing?

  • thanks for this upload :D

  • If you are in debt because of college loans then you need to get off your dead ass and work like the rest of us did. I have no sympathy for these ignorant pussies that should be studying or working. They have no respect and bad attitudes.  They havn't done shit for thier country!

  • The occupy encampments are now called OBAMAVILLES.

  • If you're 21 or older and if your in Student loans, thats your problem, get a cheap ass job, anywhere even if you have to flip a burger, and pay the fucking loan. These people feel entitled, spoiled brats, fuck'em...get a job...if a nigga like me can do it, a Spanish American, working part time and going to school, living alone! got my own whip, NO ROOMATES, why can't these hippies make it...they just want attention...plus thier parents are rich anyway.

  • @rdcvgr88 agree one hundred percent, these people are too lazy to get a job or do anything to pay off there loans, and this senseless protest sure as hell isnt gonna pay off there loans

  • @JRScott121 These are a bunch of young hipsters from outta town who come to New York City and die for attention, out of all the people who are protesting in that park only like 3% of them have REAL PROBLEMS and are much OLDER, problems like foreclosures or their retirement money got stolen by some scam and stuff or that sort, But the rest are just there for the Joy Ride, too have fun, act stupid. BTW they should go to Washington and not Wall St, cause WASHINGTON bailed them out, fuckin assholes

  • Comment removed

  • Dam, why do these people look like bums? jesus.....

  • What a bunch of losers. This is America motherfuckers... you want your socialist/communist utopia, you can go start it somewhere else you stupid fucks. By the way, I see this video is 60 days old.... guess what, you accomplished NOTHING except cost to these cities for your pathetic behavior. FUCK OFF, THE WHOLE LOT OF YOU.

  • Generally speaking it should be about Government being a check and balance to corporate power rather than Government being an extension of corporate power. Corporations are not above the law.

  • LOL! Unless I just really want to end up going in circles. LOL! Thanks, @monssavmik..

  • Even if we take money out of the equation, we'd end up with the few with all and the many with little. It's the nature of the socialist beast. Look at Communist USSR. It was a nightmare, people didn't have freedoms because the elites had all, and the people didn't and were severely controlled. Is that what we're aiming for? I for one couldn't live under the tyranny a so called share and share alike society would create. Look at the OWS protests, they're already bickering about their "treasury".

  • @Tracisom You're talking logical, and I have learned one thing when talking to several of these morons: you can't discuss logic with a bunch of whiny, emotional entitled brats.

  • @louiebonez - financially. That's why every year, public schools fight for higher and higher wages for the teachers, who've gotten less and less interested in doing a good job because they don't "feel the love" or the need to do a good job anymore. Then they get mad and start pulling the Wisconsin protest type of thing. Public schools aren't for profit, so what are they protesting if they're already being paid out of the public dole? Bartering won't work for the size of population we have.

  • @louiebonez - this is good discourse. In relation to taking for profit out of the equation, I can't agree that it makes things better. Then people who work at say a college don't get paid as much, because where's the money for their wages coming from if the colleges aren't making money, and if the teachers and staff aren't making enough wages because there aren't profits to afford wages, then who cares? That's the attitude teachers take, because they lose incentive if they can't make it

  • @louiebonez - I'm still trying to figure out what other country we are worse than that we can pattern ourselves after that would make us better. I know Canada for one has socialistic medical, so that their people can't even get in to see doctors or get surgeries for months and sometimes over a year, so they come to the US for it. Can you give an example?

  • @louiebonez - in other words, I'm not blaming the government or banks for it - I made bad decisions. But it wasn't that long ago. I was attempting to go to college in 1996-99, and I stretched it out a couple of classes per semester. But that really wasn't that far back. Then 9/11 happened, my kids are almost grown, and now everyone is going crazy, and I wonder what kind of world will be left when everyone starts tearing down everything we've ever known? I don't think it's going to end well.

  • @Tracisom I definitely feel for you. I have had many things not go ideal in my life.But my point is this, What we're asking for is already being done with public schools and they seem to be doing just fine. I'm sure most people who go against free education are too ignorant to see they already pay for education to a certain extent. I am not blaming government for terrible test scores we have. Everything we do in this country are decade old systems that simply do not work, they're obsolete

  • @Tracisom There needs to be change, and that's where government comes in. It is not about blaming, it's about showing ideaology physically. This movement whether or not you like as made many people think about many different issues we have in this country. WE have a huge problem, and just being up to date on things would be the first thing to do. We have a healthcare system that was established in the 40's, tax system is from the 80's. Why do we still use these tactics in modern problems?

  • @Tracisom I do not have any power to change, neither do u or the next person who reads this. But collectively we can bring a conversation to congress by protesting that's the point, it's not whining its not radicalism it's simply acting upon ideas which may benefit the country. This is going to affect your kids and my sister's generation, Think about that. By the time they get out of school they'll be up to their eyeballs in debt. And to "earn" education is ridiculous because there is already

  • @Tracisom When you take the for-profit sign out of things then they get better. Schools are just another business the first two years you are required to take classes that you took in high school already so if tuition is $40,000 a year that's $80,000 you just wasted. THAT'S WRONG. That's money you can use for a house or a car or spend to boost the economy or pay taxes. So yes, our decisions are crucial but giving a person the tools to make right decisions isn't stupid.

  • @louiebonez - his wife about that time, and her and her kids moved in with us too, and my grandmother died, so the only reason I couldn't continue my education was too much trauma, and I chose not to go back. So, I have seen a lot, this is only a small sampling of the crap life has thrown at me, but if I'd made the right decisions and actually gone to college right out of high school, all of this would have been much better. But these were my bad decisions, and not because anyone else.

  • @louiebonez - committed suicide, and my brother and I had to go take care of his effects. By the time I got back to school (we were only gone a week), my computer programming class had it's finals, and I couldn't make my final work because I missed something in the meantime. Because I failed, I couldn't get any more grants, and I was still too upset over everything to continue, so I went to work and gave up. But that was something I chose to do because I was in a bad place. My brother divorced

  • @Tracisom PLENTY of abuse, do you think Bush EARNED his way to yale? or earned the oil company daddy gave him? he's just one out of many I'm sure who got to school because of money. This country is not perfect no matter what happens there will be abuse, realize that. But we are behind in the world. It's time to catch up, we can be better. we're the equivalent to a 1990 Dell computer, the rest of the world are Ipads. It's about time, its one of the main reasons of debt.

  • @louiebonez - I prefer to be there for them, and I'm able to because of my folks. So I work all day, but I only work one job so I can be with them. I don't get child support because their father was a drunk lazy ass that lives off of other people. I made a lot of mistakes when I was younger, but in the situation I'm in, at least living with my parents, my kids have a better chance to suceed. And they are doing really well at it so far. I ended up dropping out of school because my real dad

  • @louiebonez - ok, I will concede that some of what you say make sense. As for me and my situation, I did go to one community college and one university, and the only reason I had to change schools was because my kids and I live with my parents and my stepdad is civil service, so we've traveled to different regions because he's former military and does the same thing for CS pretty much. I am scraping by not because of the economy so much, but because with two teenagers and no child support,

  • That's the point exactly. Third world countries have free health care and schooling. And my dad grew up in the 60's and is accountant and my mom worked in real estate who came from another country. Its a fact that with all the money we spent on iraq and afghanistan we could have paid for school or healthcare. And okay, yes there will be people who abuse, but like I mentioned before there's abuse everywhere. U can't get rid of that.

  • @louiebonez - I only have one more thing to add - You're going to school, you were told not to, but you say you are and have a 3.0. You bang your girl (how that has any bearing, I can't figure, but ok) and you have guitar and equpment and like to play. Sounds like you're doing just fine, so my final question then would be what the hell are you bellyaching about? You're doing better than a lot of people out there in this world. I wish OWSers lived in a third world country - maybe they'd see.

  • @Tracisom You mentioned the hippies? well their protesting helped social change. Civil rights, vietnam war, enough with the violence which are basically good things to ask for unless something is wrong with you (in general) it was the way they went about it that pissed people off and it's the same thing here. I called u a hypocrite because you're the ideal person that would be standing next to me. It's about what's right, I have a 3.0 but im not blind to see there's plenty of room for improve

  • @Tracisom Europe does it, third world countries do it. We're extremely low in education, I believe because of lazy students with teachers and parents that do not push kids. In public schools, if there's not enough kids or the kids do not perform up to par they get closed down. I believe that should be the way we educate, cut the one who aren't doing anything. And on your page you say basically you're scraping enough to get by. THen I saw all of the universities you attended. And you have kids

  • @Tracisom You're going insanely mad over what I'm asking for. You lived how long ago? it was a different USA. I have friends with degrees who had to join the military because they couldn't pay it off, it's a loan on a house with no house practically. This is for YOUR kids' generation, my brother is in debt, my generation is in trouble my younger sister's generation is fucked. And all the school's are uping tuition. At your generation the school I attend which is helped by the city was free

  • @Tracisom And now I have to pay obviously, so Imagine, the schools that were expensive during your time, imagine how expensive they are now. And it's not like it's for a good reason, we've seen the good and the bad with our schools. Bush graduated from Yale, Obama from Harvard, and we're in extreme debt. It doesn't matter what kind of school it is, we get examples of smart or really lazy people in each one. It needs to be changed and voting obviously doesnt change it because we would have had it

  • (We all saw what happened during the hippy generation. It didn't change anything. You know what changed it? They all grew up, went to college, and became the establishment. There's your hope and changy thing.)

  • @Tracisom First no, you don't change government by voting, that just changed who's in power. We already have a basic form of what I suggest, public school is funded by the city. Is it so terrible there? Have you ever been to a third world country? They have free schooling and health care, the reason why they're "third world" is cus the president or dictator and the richest people have all the money and the rest are poor, what does that sound like to u? It sure as sounds familiar

  • @Tracisom The point of protesting is to show government there are many with the same ideaology who are pissed off. WE put the government in check. And since you're trying to get by day by day wouldn't you want to not worry about how you're going to pay for health care or education for your kids? Trying to get by certaintly doesn't need 40,000 a year added to their expenses, and you're not the only single mother nor parents who struggle to get by with multiple kids. C'mon, is it so terrible OWS?

  • You change the government by getting involved and voting. Not sitting around in streets whining and crying foul, which is basically what's happening. It's divisive at best, and going to end in all out madness and chaos at worst. How is that better?

  • @louiebonez,. I don't know what you think you're going to accomplish by trying to belittle me. I'm yes, a 46 year old WOMAN, and being your uncle's age isn't an insult. That just means you can't handle the truth, or you have no respect for your elders. Either way, you can tell anyone you want to visit my page. I have family that likes to have fun, I love my kids, and we all take care of each other. If you have a problem with that, it's too bad. Name one thing that makes me a hypocrite.

  • @louiebonez, to top it off, I lived through the Reagan and Clinton eras - the economy didn't tank until well after 9/11. It was still much better than it was in the last 2 years. I've lived through all that, and I know that for a fact. History is skewed for young people, but I & many others know what things were like, the difference is, we know how to keep going without whining. This is the worst two years I've ever seen. But I'll survive, because I have a backbone - I'm stubborn like that.

  • @Tracisom Lol you're dogging me for playing guitar? okay apparently i'm debating with a 13 year old. The whole point of schooling is to work hard now so you can have a profession and make decisions and not work hard later. That is not true anymore, that's not the American dream nor the American way. It has nothing to do with democrat or republican, we have a bought congress and president. The money that is being extracted from wall street can be used here for education.

  • @Tracisom If you lived during Reagan then you must not know what it's like now, take it from me, a kid who's going through school now you must have a job now, you went through school and know exactly that, you go to school to get a job, the corporations are taking the jobs away made in china helped make us broke. There are more malls than schools in the United States, you're telling me we cant afford tuition but we can afford new jails, new malls, new fighters for all the dog fights we get into

  • @Tracisom lastly, I am stubborn. I was told not to go to school cus I'm working myself too hard.The government is to be put into check by us, the people. This is what is going on, when we don't like something we have the total right to complain and act upon our complaints. So while you may think you're being a badass by calling me a troll and a non-hard worker. I work, have a 3.0 average and bang my girl everyday because of my guitar playing so you sir know where to go. Thank you very much.

  • @Tracisom Okay, this is last I promise. You checked my page so I checked yours. I suggest you look at yourself before you attempt to make fun of me about my life. I am mature so I won't tell others to look, but damn. You're one hell of a hypocrite. Let my generation have the same opportunity as yours, that is all im asking. I'm done with this, I have much better things to do than argue with a person my uncles age.

  • @louiebonez - I'm also really confused by you. You say you have a job and that is why you pay. Really? Then what the hell are you bitching about? You're not doing anything more than anyone has to do - and that's the way it is - you don't get something for nothing - so if you really are working, at the same time, then quit complaining - that is LIFE!

  • @louiebonez - incidentally, I never told you not to go to school - people work and go to school at the same time - I've said that twice now. But hey everybody, I figured it out! If you look at his page, he's too busy playing guitar to go to work. There ya go!!!!

  • @ouiebonez - either that or you're an internet troll that likes to egg people on - but in that case, you're just a troll.

  • @ouiebonez - let me guess - you were lazy in high school too and didn't qualify. Instead of calling everyone else names and expecting a hand out....DO something for yourself instead of bellyaching. I have NO pity for you.

  • @ouiebonez ride. If you're so damned smart about the way it's supposed to be already, then why do you need college - you obviously think you have all the answers, and the answers lie in someone elses' pocket. I work, I pay my student loans, and I worked while I was going to school too. You're just a lazy ass that thinks someone else should hand you everything on a silver platter. Guess what - it's not happening. If you're so smart, why didn't you get scholarships, which pay for quite a bit?

  • @ouiebonez, listen smart ass, I have gone to college myself, and worked my way through it. Did you think those so called pussies as you call them are supposed to pay for you? Screw you. No one has paid for anyone else all this time, what makes you so different and special? You have a truly skewed and greedy idea of the way things are supposed to be. People have been working their way through college and yes, getting loans and grants, and that's how it's always been - no one handed them a free

  • Gues what, some people work their way through college, by getting a job. Other people just get a loan, and instead of being thankful for it, complain that they now have to pay it back. When will people realize that a loan is not FEE MONEY?! What did you think was gonna happen, somebody would give you money, and then not ask for it back?

  • LOL Student loans...I'm NOT paying for your education...because what you are showing is not educated. I'm not paying off your debt, I'm not paying for you period. Get a job, get a brain.

  • a bunch of sad pricks who couldnt make it

  • @elitecriticc Make what?

  • @scotchprofessor in life

    

  • @elitecriticc How do you know this?

  • FUCK THE HATERS FUCK U ILLUMINATI FREEMASONS FUCK THE GOVERNMENT

  • Notice how all of these people protesting are wearing clothes made by "Corporations" . Also notice how most of them look unwashed and unkempt. These protesters are nothing but perpetual children. whining and complaining about every little thing. These idiots obviously don't know how a loan works. You are given money to do something...you pay it back. It's that simple. Maybe they should attack colleges for having such high tuitions.

  • These people would protest a turd for not smelling enough simply because it is a "protest"

  • If you rack up thousands of $ in school related debt that's you're own damn choice and it has nothing to do with the lax and/or unenforced SEC, OTS, and GAO regulations that allowed banks to leverage up to 40:1 just before they blew up and nearly took out western finance as we know it setting up a blackmail situation that required the government to bail them with trillions of $ we don't have for the chance to avoid another great depression.

  • @granolanutpunch

    Yes, and these are crimes against humanity and the key issue (control of money in private hands) and these people should be charged accordingly.

    Also, if they weren't stealing the wealth of the middle class, the middle class would have more money to do productive things with.

    End debt slavery and fractional reserve banking in private hands

  • These socialists should have lived in a real socialist country during 1948-1989. Then they would really see what evil socialism is. Fuck these hippies.

  • Restore the Republic!!

  • power to the neighborhoods

    watch?v=4FwpQiyF94U

  • goldman sachs stole 13 billion in 2008 through derivative fraud (illegal naked short cds bet against subrprime mortgages with aig ie aig bankruptcy).

    You paid for this??? This is called communism. Mark Pittman (bloomberg journalist revealed this crime against humanity. Where is he now? This is called facism!

    End illegal private federal reserve and end fractional reserve banking. Put money printing back into hands of government!

    Wake up. Banks have extracted trillions from you!

  • I don't know how the student loan-situation is for individuals in the US, but I live in Sweden and I also have loads of student loans but I can't see how my taxes are in any way associated with these loans? With lower taxes I would still have to take student loans in order to survive during my years in school. Higher taxes make no difference. But is it different in the US? I don't get it.

  • Maybe the protesters should have majored in Engineering instead of Egyptian Basket Weaving?

  • "I'm hopeful. I hope that someone's gonna listen, because if they don't, we're gonna see another revolution."

    Spoken like a typical historically ignorant, well-indoctrinated leftist.

    Comrades, there are many socialist countries in Europe, Asia, and South America where you can suck the gov't teat from birth to death. Many are looking for new workers to enslave...er...help pay for govt programs. You should go. Leave all the dangerous living without a net to freedom-loving Americans.

  • @PatrickHenry75 Talk about being enslaved to pay for government programs. In Vancouver, i am fortunate enough to have my tax dollars used to run a "safe injection site" for junkies in a prime real estate location in the downtown core. Our government goes above and beyond to keep people dependant on them.

  • @Vansit84 As they say, he who controls the 8-ball controls the party. Something like that. That's coming for us I'm sure. As well as dietary laws...after all...if the govt is providing my healthcare, they can tell me what I must do to be healthy. Just as hate crimes fall under the interstate commerce clause (ICC), big macs will fall under the ICC and the healthcare regulation.

  • "My brother just said he has over $25,000 in student debt. Why is this allowed to happen?"

    Because he didn't have the money to get an education. So he went out of his way to find one. KNOWING the consequences of being in debt.

    Moreover, there's plenty of successful people who have student loan debt who are happy in their careers while accepting the fact that they used the loan to get where they are in the first place. People have been doing it for years. Just don't live beyond your means.

  • @Zunecrazy There's more to it than that. The education industry is subsidized by the gov't through the money monopoly just like the big banks are. Students are being exploited by the system just as home buyers and investors were in the housing bubble. The Fed creates credit out of thin air and then banks loan it into existence without first creating a real value. This forces the rest of us into servitude in all sorts of ways. Prices skyrocket, interest piles up, taxes are raised, etc.

  • @MillionthUsername have you heard of the "economic club of new york"? a march on this place would be wise. google it if you get a chance. hang cool

  • I own a media company and it is not worth covering. When I lost my job, I took my last 3,500 dollars, and started a newspaper. Now I am the biggest media person in the State.

    You don't get given jobs, you earn them. Private industry creates them. The only excuse is laziness or lack of talent. Don't expect others to work for you. Don't like this, I lost my job and created 147 jobs. The time you take protesting you could be working.

  • media doesn't want to cover this story , down with gov't down with big media down with wall street

  • As of today, 10/18, all the new occupy wall street youtube videos had their comments disabled. The biggest headcount on the news at NY OWS was 3000. But there are 312 MILLLION Americans here in the US. Now 3000, as you well know, doesn't comprise even 1% of 312 million. So, they are trying to stifle the voices of more than 99% of Americans. That's their idea of freedom of speech. And it should tell you something of the ones behind the scenes, if you're clever.

  • fuckin hippies...thank just because i bust my ass to get wealthy i should give it to them..half of em probably grew up rich and trust funds.

  • @tgrfan42069 if you do bust your ass then i applaud you, but fact is most ppl do not, either friends hook each other up with jobs or someones sleeping with someone. the rich have it easy pay for their kids whole education all their bills they still flunk school get a 6 fig job at their daddys friends job and the cycle repeats...suck swallow repeat?

  • @codowner00 thats life deal with it..go find a job and work like every other person has to do.no rich person owes me a thing.so what if they are better off than i am.why should they be punished just because they grew up knowing someone who could get them a good job..you would do the same thing if it were you..i know id give a friend ajob if i were in that position

  • @codowner00 because what happens is ppl go into high up places that are incompitent to be in charge this how mistakes are made this is how lives are lost

  • I think $25000 is good value for money for a degree in Underwater Basket Weaving.

  • I wonder how many of them are being paid that $300 to $600 that that Craig's List add was offering before it was taken down in this here "Organic movement " ?. And hey idiots,It is the college institutions the set your tuition fees,,not the government. And since when is paying a student dept what you owe a bad thing? You didn't think you were going to get college for free did you? And if you slackers don't pay it..who will? ME?!?! No thank you. Pay your won way and quit leaching off of me.

  • @Dickeymoe206 lol well since you are saying you don't want to pay then are you willing to say that you are willing to watch this country burn to the ground? if countries we consider third world countries can pay for school then we can. How can we afford it? Simple, get out of other countries, tax banks, tax companies that fire millions of americans but hire millions of indians or chinese. IF anything you should be for these kids and guiding them since you are so smart and don't want to pay.

  • @louiebonez LOL Um,,,Why would I ever pay for a bill that I did not incur myself? The truth is these people think that the Government should pay there bills. I pay my own bills and my own way in life. I work for what I have. Don't bring me your bills dude...pay em yourself.

  • @Dickeymoe206 First you pay for every stupid little thing this country does through taxes like invade other countries or bail out banks who fucked the country up the ass or the food that convicts eat. You don't have any problem with that? but you have a problem with helping the future generation get fair education? you sir are beyond ridiculous. You have a job and we dont (we meaning students) our job is to go to school. The whole point is that I can not pay them

  • @louiebonez You want free schooling? Fuck that. You're young so you don't know what it's like after college. All of my friends chose different career paths after they finished college. Some dropped out halfway through. Some didn't even care about college and it was a time of partying and being stupid. Why should my tax dollars fund these kind of people? If college was free it would be abused. If you want financial assistance earn it with a scholarship, don't whine for a hand out.

  • @ThePantyDroper LOL so it's about the money? and how it would be abused? medicare is abused, loopholes are abused, do we tarrif correctly? Corporations abuse their power because they're a citizen just like you and me. WE put more people in prison, someone has to be making profit off of that, so that's abused. c'mon, there's abuse everywhere. This abuse would not set us back 10 years, it's putting people to school achieving a profession. Get your priorities fixed.

  • @louiebonez I still believe you have to earn free school. Why should someone who barely scrapes through school and doesn't give a fuck get free college and the same opportunites as the kid who has a 3.5+ average.

  • @louiebonez America in debt is an understatement. Where will this free schooling come from? You seem to have it figured out.

  • @Dickeymoe206 That's the thing about this country it demands the bills to be paid by those who simply don't have money. Those who have money aren't willing to be an American and help others out. I am a 19 year old student. I am doing it your way which is going to school to be able to pay for bills. If im not even given the opportunity to get out of debt because bank of america rather get chinese people and not americans then how will the country grow?

  • @louiebonez I'm not necessarily disagreeing, but colleges set their tuition. Maybe if higher education in this country wasn't such a complete and utter joke, you and I would be wise rather than broke. But I attend where the tuition is half the "true cost" of the education, and is rarely ever hiked...

    As soon as OWS becomes anti-capitalism--and it's well on its way there--I'll be battling it every chance I get. My fellow young bucks who claim to represent me, be warned.

  • @louiebonez Wow, you whiny little brat, education is guaranteed until you're an adult. Then you work to pay for anything above and beyond that like everyone else. No one OWES you or anyone else higher learning. You say you can't pay your bills because your job is to go to school. No, going to school is your option. You want to pay for it, get a real job - many, many other people work and go to school at the same time and do just fine. Who told you it was acceptable.....

  • @Tracisom LMFAO okay so let me get this straight. If i dont go to school I can get a real job?! HAHA doing what? a janitor? the point in going to school is so I can one day become an executive, a professional, So since people are too much of a pussy to pay, they expect my generation to not go to school so we can work at mcdonalds. That's the funniest shit I've ever heard. And sir, I have a job which is why I pay it myself. This is why the future generation is fucked, you must not have kids

  • @louiebonez to expect freebies? You're not in high school anymore. Grow the hell up!

  • @Tracisom Me grow up? as I said before I don't have a profession yet I go to school to have a profession later. You grow the hell up and pay your bills like a real adult. It's simple you have more money then pay more, if you're a student you bust your ass so I can have more money and I can be just as much as a douchebag as you guys. It's been like this for centuries get a grip tax cuts for the rich suck. Under Clinton we had a surplus, under Reagan we had a debt. SO YOU GROW THE HELL UP

  • @louiebonez And my point was that "Occupy Wall Street" is a well planned,thought out and organized protest. ( Hence the money that those on top of this protest are being paid to rally their non bathing weed smoking video game playing burn outs).

  • You're right student debt shouldn't be allowed to happen. The government should quit funding student loans and securing private student loans. What do you think that would do for tuition costs. The same is true for health care. Government involvement in these areas has led to escalation of prices and is probably the hidden reason we have a "cost disease" in certain sectors of the economy. P.S. $25,000 in student loans isn't sh*t unless he was dumb enough to get a liberal arts education.

  • PROTEST, OCCUPY

  • Wow , how insulting is it to people whose ancestors have truly existed in slavery to compare debt from student loans to slavery. They chose to go to school and acumulate that debt and why should I or anyone else be taxed for that . My family had no money to send me to school so I had a choice and I chose to work and I learned a trade. A college education is not a God given right it's something you choose to do and it is your own responsibility to figure out how to pay for it .

  • Someone just wants to play bongos in the park because he should be free in such a rich country and be compensated because he is an "artist." We can afford to let people follow their dreams. Yaaay, I think I saw that place in Avatar.

  • I doubt that more than 5% of these people even know what happens within a wall street bank. Without credit we wouldn't have company growth. Without the services of these banks, many of these fools wouldn't have employers to higher them, but they just want to stand there and fucking complain. Take a shower and work for what you want you freaking hippie.

  • WoW a bunch of students who chose to go to college can't pay it back? That's their fault, nobody else's.

  • maybe if your stupid brother did'nt BORROW the money and SPEND the money then HE WOULD'NT OWE THE MONEY?  personally i like a hot shower at least once a season, but hey call me a clean freak!

  • waaaahhhh free healthcare, free education, fucking what is this country coming to.... the reason liberals bitch about not having any money or getting screwed by people with money, is because they are tooooo fucking stupid to make their own money....

  • @5koorb you are stupid too

  • @5koorb - Additionally, their cuckoo brain ideas, which they learned during their expensive educations, happen to be smothering the economy. Sociologist are the worst offenders. How much money could be saved by simply ignoring those particular idiots? How many worthless government jobs were created because some sociologist had an idea about how to make the world a better place? How many worthless pieces of crap occupy those government jobs like these protestors are occupying our streets?

  • @thetruthisoutthere32 your streets...now you own the streets too...they will win sooner than you think...and you...you just crawl into your hole and watch the power of people...

  • @emcedion - Our is different word than mine. Perhaps you should take to the classroom before you take to the streets. I assumed that you would agree the street belong to the people. No, you wouldn't agree. Instead they only belong to some of the people, only those who agree with your particular brand of lunacy and idiocy.

  • Man if I tried to camp out in my local park, I would have been kicked out, but with good reason lol.

  • Does the code pink girl, that is whinning about that her brother has to pay back a student loan, have a job?

  • It's typical that anytime there is a genuine, grass-roots, progressive, protest movement like the Occupy Wall Street, Protest Movement, the Right-Wing, Reactionary Scum come out of the woodwork to attack it. What the hell is wrong with these people? Is it really true there was no wrongdoing on Wall Street that led to this crisis? Just a bunch of well meaning but foolish people who made a lot of money by abusing a system innocently? I hardly think so! What idiots the people on the Right are!

  • @CosmicFork Coolstorybro.jpg, but I think I will just keep my opinion anyways.

  • Why do you have student debt? BECAUSE YOU CHOSE TO GET THE LOAN! You weren't forced to get into debt! That was your choice. And a bad one.

  • @DavidUmstattd Valid point. Many people have had student loans and paid them off, I did. HOWEVER, the jobs aren't there, production in America has been long gone, prices at Universities these days are ridiculous, the Federal Reserve is an un-Constitutional banking system that Woodrow Wilson regretted signing into law in 1913 and said he ruined America but it was too late. So the OWS movement has some very valid points as well.

  • If you don't want student loans don't go to college. Steve Jobs didn't and neither did Bill Gates and they're up there in the 1% category. Go protest them. And who does this bitch think she is to threaten anyone with a revolution? She should get a job.

  • suck sh*t, protesters. f-n usless scum.

  • @enahcs aww so cute censoring yourself
