I thought the free market balances itself out IF and WHEN a Big Business Fails...Not get bailed out because the FEAR of too many jobs being lost. When a big business fails, that leaves room for smaller businesses to grow, thus continuing the growth, encouraging more jobs to be filled, so on and so forth.

How sad we think without these empire big corporations we can't survive...

Lets make the mature decision to stop sucking on this Big Gov't TIT so we can have our freedom back. And Dignity.

@ErocNelson88 sadly its not even the bailouts of GM and whatnot that was really bad. the bank bailouts, the bad loans, the allowing our industries to move out of country, to import so much without tariffs, to allow our companies to bank in foreign lands, to not have an education fund that corp's have to pay into, to not have employment rights, to not have a better home buying / selling system.... thats where we need more change. to bad that word lost meaning a few yrs back...

The only fucking senseable person in this fucking show is the nice black lady. These are fucking assholes

[PrimeTargetSecurity]

@Thebuttsinferno i just watched her give a great speech at the great lakes now summit. yesterday she was lunch speaker. she made those ppl real uncomfortable. maureen taylor is great. i've been trying to find some video for her but its oddly sparse. she's commanding in a real-person type of way. the summit wouldnt allow filming due to PBS broadcasting it, but the PBS site only ran it live - no video archive...

End the Fed. End the wars! Quit bailing out banks and force GE to pay income tax. Most corporations have tuition reimbursement already.

[Blondenfun1]

End Nafta and Cafta. Those trade agreements are what happened to American jobs. When people expect a free college education and utopia, the money has to come from someplace. Most corporations DO have tuition reimbursement. End the federal Reserve and quit payin

NO, 1% of the people own 99% of the wealth because at this point you have other people working under you to maintain said wealth. And a lot of that wealth was probably inherited---not everybody had to work to get it, let's get real now. The bottom line is that Wall Street got sent a blank check of millions of damn dollars from Bush when the economy crashed, and basically sat on their asses and got rich off of that, while regular working folks lost homes,jobs

No, ALL the people didn't lose their homes only to bad-decision making on their part (even though that WAS a part of it in some cases) A lot of folks here in Detroit lost their homes mainly because they got laid off, so of course they couldn't keep up the payments, especially when their unemployment and savings ran out. It dosen't help that Michigan's Republican govenor (Snyder) dosen't seem to understand how to fix the problem except to cut,cut everything.

agendas & structures are being put together---this has gone down at every Occupy meeting I've been to in the D so far. I actually LIKE the fact that there are NO leaders---there is no star to build the movement around or focus on, which is actually refreshing for once. The way a consensus is built at the meetings is that everyone's imput is sought, everyone/some people either agrees or dosen't agree,and a decision is agreed upon---it's very socialist, in a way. Folks shout, "Mic Check!" to speak
