@jippo135 Corporations only do what governments want them to do or else. Corporations don't send armed men after you. If the government wanted to lock up the CEO of any bank or Corporation they would just do it because only government has the monopoly on force. They don't even need a reason because they would manufacture it or just make someone disappear. Look at Qaddafi. Don't be naive.

@TubingWithMyGnomies Government expanded because people wanted government to solve problems we should have been doing. However, a government that can give you everything is a government that can take it all away.

@NewAmericaNow Government is not the problem, big corporations are.

Big long vid, conclusion: "Separate money & state like we separate Church & State" "let the crowd determine the mechanics of how it's done" Crowd consists of street people and staving college kids. They say just take what we want by force. oh look!! It's pre-nazi germany all over again!!! All Occupy needs is a leader to emerge. Oh wait, nm "We choose crap over death" So the democrats will take the occupy lead by, you guessed it! Socialism! Take from one class and give to another!

@tresdizz Please justify why after a closed door meeting with the President and the insurance companies their stocks went yup 15% then all of a sudden as a "condition of citizenship" we are required to give one of thoes health insurance companies our buisness.
Please justify why we created a housing bubble?
Please justify why we didnt let it fully crash? Please justify why we didnt let the auto industry fail? Please justify why we didnt let the banking system fail?

@tresdizz please justify why our trade deficit with china is 10 to 1.
Please justify why we give foreign aid to Israel that basically gives them a credit to buy our military weaponry, and the parts for thoes weapons to conduct maintenence are made in China so half of the aid money "in cash" goes to China.
Please justify why gas prices went up in the United States but not in Australia. Due to the fact that Australia "deflated" their currency to compensate but we didnt***.

This guy is a master at publicity stunts. # opportunistic.
The banks and corps are not the cause of our problems, they are merely an opportunistic infection in a self inflicted injury. The banks and corps would not consider taking control of a system that did not exert control over it's citizens, as it would not offer any monetary advantage. The fact that we have through the years given government more and more power over us and our actions, for some well intentioned myth of safety or the common good, is the ultimate cause of our dilemma today.
