The 4 dislikes are from the CEOs of Goldmans Sachs, JP Morgan, the Bank of America and Citigroup. They should all be in jail!

The occucraper movement is dead. Thank God. It's spreading around the world Jeffey Sucks? What is that, the putrid aroma of the filthy deadbeat Obama losers that was left behind after they finally dispersed?

@olives937 Ignorant isms terms washed upon your numb brain. You are the ignorant type that leads to genocide with your fake race blindfold across your eyes.

@Lourdestortoise Did you mean that he has contributed to healing the problems that OWS stands against, or his contributions and projects are what OWS opposes? What contributions are you thinking of?

[Lourdestortoise]

@sentientstill Oh no, I agree. My response was actually warranted from "leave politics and politicians out of this movement." Part of this "fundamentally flawed setup" is that politicians aren't doing their job. My other point is that Jeffrey Sachs IS NOT a politician, he is an economist and head of the Columbia University Earth Institute. His position DOES matter. If you look up his projects, you will see that he has contributed to the very problems that OWS stands against.

Make this man Speaker of the house.

Then subsidize government educational institutions, and place congress on the roster for the next years students. Its going to be okay after that, CP

Love this man! He's such an inspiration and it's great he's supporting the Occupy movement.

The big corporate donors don't even vote. They don't care about voting. That's what the Bush administration proved. They don't care about Democracy. And Dick Cheney said that deficits don't matter.
