For the Record : Greed and OWS

NOTE: "For The Record" episodes normally upload at least 30 days after appearing on WND.com under Molotov's column. Is greed REALLY the problem on Wall Street?

So just to recap: If a bunch of people take to the streets to try to change their country, that's bad. Unless they wear tea bags on their heads and call the president the n-word, then they're PATRIOTS.

Oh, yeah, also everyone involved in OWS owns 500 iPods and worships Karl Marx or something. Whatever nonsense you guys have to come up with to justify your hatred of the OWS protestors, right?

I've only one problem with this video. There needs to be an explanation of the difference between greed & self-interest. There IS a difference!!!

I don't think this video has made one solid critique of Socialism. It's just some mindless ramblings that have really no intellectual value at all. His arguments are filled with logical fallacies. To me it seems Molotov does not know anything about Socialism, and just seems to be ranting on about how everyone on the left owns ipods or something.

@Kalamitysax yeah. i do wish i had more time to dedicate to studying and learning, but i'm graduating with honors and job offers with no debt. can't really complain over all.

@oogaboogan no doubt most people have tried to get a job and i am not saying there is no need for reforms in our tax code and in regulations on both workers and businesses. I am saying there are jobs and ways to prep yourself and build yourself up even in rough economic times. Using internships and volunteering i have jobs above entry level that cover my school bills and my living expenses. i've been unemployed months at a time while looking for jobs, it sucks, i do understand that.

As a college student, I have to appologize for those of my ilk who were so brainwashed by the public schools that they think they have a right to a job. One of my classmates mentioned this to me, and I had to explain basic capitalizm to him. 1. You DON'T have any RIGHT to my money.  Someone can choose to pay you for doing something, you can choose whether or not to accept that. That's what free market is all about.

@Porcupineracer I have no trouble with people attempting to change the country, after all that's what democracy is. However, the irony of the OWS movement cannot be denied. The majority of OWS protestors are college students who, upon entering the real world were shocked to find that they needed more than just an education to pay off their student loans, they needed marketable skills. SO, rather than getting marketable skills, they're whining.

OWS isnt socialst all there doing is asking for the rich to pay there fair share of taxes since the rich are all getting the tax cuts while the middle class is left to suffer, the big banks and corporations are buying our politicians out. I hardly call calling that to end socialist.

Socialism is for the socialists, not the people

[tztz2026]

This evades the crony-capitalism, corporate socialism. Taxes not to pay wall street bailouts and bonuses.

This video isn't even interesting enough to be annoying. *record scratch*

@2002lees "It's because the OWS is a anti-freedom thing."

Did you finish high school? Are you from the same planet?

How is it an anti-freedom "thing", as you put it?

You know what? Don't bother answering me, your statements alone are enough to convince me you're beyond saving.
