@ballking123 - That's a sad story. Thing is, your school probably would have had a larger budget had more than 54% of the country's citizens paid taxes. The other 46% take what the others are giving, which leaves very little for the schools. Someday the occupiers will put down the signs and do some real work. Living in a tent in the city park is no way to live your life, son.

@gloinstrong - LOL! This new generation is fuckin soft as shite. They think if they annoy enough people in the streets America will eventually give them handouts. Spoiled bastards. Hey, we have apples rotting on the vines in E. Washington. Farmers can't get enough people to do the work. These protesters should come on up and pick some apples, do something productive. But of course, that would mean they would have to put down the iphone and do some real work.

Thank you police for doing your thankless job and for keeping the city safe for the real 99% of us that work and try to do good work for the community. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to deal with these rude fringe.

@albinio157 Uh sooo you were arrested what 36 times in 1 week? Get out.

[MissELizVitale]

thanks for being out to fight these evil criminal low life scum paid in uniform to stop freedom..... I stand beside the 99%... all of you are the most admirable for trying to change this world to stop banking crimes, to stop govt crimanl behavior and ownership, to teach we are being sprayed with poisons, to teach about the provacatures and liars in the political system... and on and on the saga of a control freak business called govt steals, cheats, lies and enforces their own criminal agenda .
