Popular Power: US labor unions pick up Occupy call

Around 20-thousand people inspired by the Occupy movement have marched through New York demanding better job opportunities and economic changes. Police have cleared two of the longest-standing Occupy camps in Los Angeles and Philadelpia, arresting some 350 people. Rob Wohl, an activist with the Occupy DC Action Team, says the protesters are here to stay - and rough police tactics won't stop them.

Occupy is a joke. Obama is worse than bush and you guys are all for this clown.

Representative government is NOT democracy, it's Corrupt-Cronyism. Politicians, like actors are paid to show up and do as they are told while being convincing enough to elicit an emotional response. Whom ever is paying the most is who the system works for. Only when The*People have direct input as to HOW their money is spent, will there be a shift toward True Democracy. Individual Directed Capitalization 65% of YOUR TAX contribution directed to areas of funding of YOUR CHOICE Power 2 The*People.

@foredeck100 We are irrelevant?

When did a american become so blind to his fellow man be wether have some damn more currency them himself!

You arrogant creature. My father worked his ass off to feed my family and evade your damn union thugs who steal money and enrich their own interests like warlords of old! We are not rich, but I be damned to sell myself or my kin to thugs and slavers who prey like they do on working folk who work and not expect a free handout.

I feel only pity for you.

[foredeck100]

This guys standing up and trying to change our system for the better. You right wing tea baggers are like yesterday's newspaper. When was the last time you wrapped yourselves around a fish head? You're irrelevent. History has put you guys and your right wing delusions in the trash. If you don't support the people then I guess you support CEOs that make 45 times the average wage of a worker? That's really smart. 

[planetearthawakens02]

this guy's a completely arrogant douche, watch how he act towards adam kokesh.

[pcgamernum1]

'it's about taking back public space'. YEAH! Like the privately owned PARKS that have been occupied. Ignorant bastards.

PS: I love how youtube occupy members are saying that occupy isn't left wing.. .and yet RT insists that they are. Occupy is fail!

[Poopsmith01]

NOOO not this kid!! He has zero idea about what's going on. Watch Adam Kokesh's video called "AVTM gets an economics lesson at Occupy DC" and see how ridiculous this boy is. He claims he wants to be a "megaphone for the people" but does not allow people with differing ideas to speak their minds. Occupy DC is the New Mexico of Occupy movements; it stinks.

[PoppinKhorn]

he should not be talking for whole movement

[Mandama004]

@capitalismforme the fact that you have no idea what we are even talking about, or what I AM trying to prove, is proof enough to show that you have a lack intelligence.

Not to mention your attempt at spelling "apparently".

For the record, I never once said that YOU are unintelligent. However, if you have low confidence in your own intelligence, it's not surprising that you would assume that.
