this guy didn't answer one question. said awhole lot withotu saying anythign. what a joke

[RoosterTreeComicLit]

I am in full support of Occupy, but I must ask: is Ha-Redeye an aspiring politician? Why wouldn't he give a straight answer to the question? That's extremely disappointing.

Think of it like the french revolution. After we exhaust all of the common sense explanations and they fall on deaf ears (bought and paid for to be deaf). We only have one option left.

EAT THE RICH!

R U in?

@pfmrokman so you are essentially saying you, nor anyone else has a valid solution? thanks

If you are smart enough to solve the problem you ARE the problem. Fix it for everyone for free or exploit it for billions. Which would you chose? There is a movie you should see, made by someone from your generation, called "OhCanadaMovie".. youtube won't let me post a link but just go to that title .com and enjoy, pay particular attention to the jobs our Prime Ministers get when they leave office (If they were a good puppet)

The Federal Government is supposed to protect us.

@pfmrokman You're saying the protesters arent smart enough to figure out solutions to the problems facing us. So why listen to them?

[eminem4436]

@pfmrokman actually I'm not employed, and the protests in Canada are mainly about capitalism itself rather than the unemployment rate.

@eminem4436

It's about perspective. I'm gonna guess from your handle and your comment that you are a young, employed person so you don't get what all the fuss is about..Be thankful for that.In order for you to succeed you will need a few things to happen.You will either find a wealthy benefactor who believes in you and makes certain your future is bright or you will have to get really lucky.Most people in their lives will get neither. I'm so glad your generation is paying attention.good luck

Steve, Stevie, Steven..I like you and I like the show (disclaimer)

This whole $1000 suit wearing question de jour, "Well what do they want"?

C'mon. You're asking poor unemployed disenfranchised regular people to give you a solution to global fiscal responsibility. The best sign at Occupy Wall St was one that read "This f@(king bull$4it is f@(king bull$4it".That about sums it up.

It's very clear what the problem is, wealth for the wealthy slavery for the poor.

We need you to help us Steve

I expect better from The Agenda. Please find someone who can articulate what the goals of the Occupy folks are. If you can't then that really says something. Either your journalistic research skills are lacking OR you are putting people like this on the show on purpose to misrepresent the movement. The demands of Occupiers have been documented and published. You can find them if you are willing to do a simple Google Search but you will NOT see them presented or discussed in ANY mainstream media.
