Our $ is an illusion. All we are passing around is debt, and creating more of it thanks to the Federal Reserve Bank, and others.

[fagangh]

Well, I'm convinced.

[MinistryofDiplomats]

Great work all of you!

everyone bashing this are idiots. they printed fake money with those messages on them - they arent real dollars assholes

[William Hamilton]

We don't really know who did this really, or why. It may just be an attempt to discredit the entire movement funded by some billionaire. I doubt you could get 90% approval of this at any progressive gathering in the US. Maybe someone just went a little nutty. We don't see anyone's face. There is no contact information.

Of course. That probably explains why many American presidents have ended up working for unions.

You don't seem to read properly.

How much can a Union provide in funding the politicians. Compared to corporations?

How many unions are in the Fortune 500? how many unions are richer than more countries?

Get a brain.

Just when I think the occuclowns can't get more stupid they surprise me and reach a whole new level of idiocy. Really, what kind of fool would follow these dipshits and take them seriously. I wonder how many meals 5K would buy for the homeless? Total dipshits

They should had donated it, what a waste. No one here in Seattle tin my network (which is expansive) even heard of this "stunt". SMH

[wolfengheist]

Only a idiot would drop $5000 out of a hotel. It's a wonder why these morons can't pay back there student loans.
