I find it funny that people care more about traffic jams they weren't even in than they do about the loss of our democracy.

WELCOME TO THE POLICE STATE

We will ALL "get what we deserve" while the banks get bailed out by the US government.

Has NYC become a Fascist Police State?

First they came for the communists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.

@Occupy413

usa citizens do not have democracy, no more since 1914 Fed act. The people of Europe, or We the Germans do not have democracy either. It is just an Illusion. Most countries in the world don't have, because the rich people and their stuff don't get it - what is wrong with the world !?

@terrapyn99 Community reinvestment act forced banks to give loans to risky people. We should of let the banks fail anyway. I have 2 relatives who are pilots who make bank. Just because someone spends a great deal of time and money learning a new skill doesn't mean they'll end up making a lot more than they would if they hadn't. I mean it'd be nice but it's not guaranteed.

@HalfLucky  Are we 'the people' responsible for the bankster's losses? The government 's policies are bought and paid for by corporate interests. Is it any wonder we have privatized profits and socialized losses?

Some commercial airline pilots are on such a low salary that they have to claim food stamps! Should a dedicated individual who invests a great deal of time and money in becoming a qualified professional blame himself for being poor?

[HalfLucky]

@terrapyn99 Everyone's responsible for themselves. If you're poor there's no one to blame but yourself. Bankers are in the private sector, government can't control how much they get paid. If a owner of a company wants to pay them millions of dollars that's there business.

@HalfLucky There are over 46 million US citizens living poverty whilst the banksters continue to award themselves obscene bonuses paid for by the bailouts from our taxes. Do you think we should let these corporate crooks away with it?
