@masonTganes

i was agreeing with you. and im not with OWS.

i like the system and how it works. ive seen people with crappy lifes and turn it around. ive also seen people who blame everyone but themselves and only sink deeper into the hole.

@doc2850 What is your point? IF you wer one of the protesters I would say to you... you havent lived long enough to earn the right to complain.  You havent struggled for years within a career job yet.

@masonTganes

ive seen life in other countries and should they should be happy with what they have.... hell people are risking their life to get into the USA

[masonTganes]

if your a 20 somthing kid who lives at home-- you dont have a right to protest anything. You havent earned the right to complain about anything.

You havent endured decades in the job force.

You havent paid your dues on anything.

You dont know what its like to have a family, house ect.

STOP PROTESTING... you are acomplishing NOTHING

@doc2850 Which constitutional right are they denying to others specificly?

[9thgate]

Okay so lets say your candidate overcomes the odds and Ron Paul is President in 2012, then what? Congress and the Senate will suddenly stop selling out to WS? Big corperations will stop offering them and their staff high paying jobs as a reward for serving them over their electorate? No, there's poison in the system and it needs to be outed - and this shoudln't even be a left-right issue. Everyone who isn't a billionaire CEO should be firmly behind it.

@9thgate The elections haven't brought change b/c we've been asleep. The solution is running for POTUS in '12 and his name is Ron Paul. The political class hate him, the fed hates him, the media hates him and the big banks and Wall Street hate him.Why? B/c he has consistently refused to play the establishments game for the last 30 years. I know he can't change the country by himself, but he can change the conversation and show people what is really going on. Then the elections will bring change.

@SangriaStud28 If it were simply the government at fault then why don't elections bring change? Answer is a systemic problem of corperate lobbyists. That's the real cancer. The majority of representatives, senior and executive staff are bought and paid for with contirbutions and jobs, mainly from WS firms. And nobody is asking for huge increases in government, just that we'd quite like government to opperate the way it should and properly regulate with genuinely indepenant regulators.
