Occupy Wall Street - AMAZING! People reoccupying their foreclosed home!

Today, Americans stood up and said, "We have a right to shelter. No one can take that right from us." Today we re-occupied our homes.

In East New York, Brooklyn - a foreclosed home is being reclaimed today by a local homeless family. #OWS, along with local neighbors and community groups, has pledged to stay with the family and defend them from eviction. Kendall Jacklman from Picture The Homeless spoke to the housing crisis ongoing in New York City, saying, "There is enough housing in this city to shut down the Department of Homeless Services and offer everyone decent, affordable housing based on our real wages."

We own our homes - a callous bank that split ownership of our homes into hundreds of parts, redistributing them across the world under false ratings does not own our homes. Banks are able to restructure settlements constantly - we are not - they receive billions of dollars enabling them to stay afloat for long enough to steal our homes. Do not let them.

Across the nation occupiers along with community groups shut down foreclosure auctions and reclaimed homes for families displaced by the global economic crisis. Two homes in Atlanta were re-occupied. In Oakland, foreclosure auctions were disrupted at the county courthouse - more than a dozen homes were saved.

We stand in solidarity with homeowners across the country and the world whose homes are in the process of being stolen by faceless conglomerations motivated only by profit. We are the 99%. We will not let our homes be stolen.

NEWT, MITT, BOTH CORPORATE TOOLS. THEY SAY REDUCING TAXES WILL CREATE JOBS, THAT'S THE BIGGEST LIE EVER TOLD TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. TAX BREAKS WILL RESULT IN BIGGER RETURNS WHICH MEAN BIGGER BONUSES FOR CORPORATIONS. JP MORGAN HELD 7.1 BILLION DOLLARS IN THE 1ST 3 QUARTERS FOR BONUSES AND REDUCED IT'S WORK FORCE BY 4% JUST IN THE 3RD QUARTER. MORE JOBS, I THINK NOT, BIGGER BONUSES FOR EXECUTIVES

THE CORRUPTION IS THE REPUBLICANS, THEY ARE THE ONES THAT REMOVED THE RESTRICTIONS FROM THE BAIL OUT BILL THAT ALLOWED THE BANKERS TO DO WHAT EVER THEY WANTED.

[justice79170]

JP Morgan held 7.1 Billion dollars in the first three quarters this year for bonuses and yet they reduced there work force by 4% just in the 3rd quarter. We know where there priorities are, bonuses for CEO's and Executives, and they say tax breaks for corporations are going to create jobs. Bull Shit, those tax breaks means higher earnings which will result in bigger bonuses, not more jobs. This is the bull that the repubs keep selling the American people.

@XmXFLUXmX2 silly person - you will understand one day when your perceptual reality closes up shop and you have to go home. Separation is an illusion. We are all one, whether you like that or not. You've bought into the game that others are playing with your life - and your part is as one of their pawns. Wake up.

[XmXFLUXmX2]

@QansasjayhawQ I am happy, it's just when I talk to fuckheads like you, it makes me unhappy because talking to you is just confirming to me that public education has failed the world on a incredibly horrific level. Also, try sneaking on MY property because you think you own what I work for, and i'll shoot you dead. You parasites aren't entitled to anything, and you don't get anything without working for it, or earning it. Respect private property, fucking Marxist lunatic.

[XmXFLUXmX2]

@neonknees So you don't pay back the debts you owe? You are a scum sucker just like the rest of them. I hope you get your head kicked in you lousy piece of garbage. You're no better than a violent robber, just a thief trying to strong arm innocent people through numbers.

[neonknees]

@XmXFLUXmX2 When you realise how ignorant you really are, you'll already be dead. The game is rigged idiot. And you, me and everyone else on here are NOT on the winning team.

[QansasjayhawQ]

@XmXFLUXmX2 You know, it's silly to act out as you have here. No one owns anything. The concept of property ownership is an artificial concept. We live in a natural world. Birth, growth and eventually death is all part of the experience we call life. No one gets out alive. If we can't be kind and loving towards one another, well, you've missed the entire point of life - our relationships with other human beings.

I pray that you find peace and happiness and stop believing in a condition of lack
