David DeGraw is considered to be one of the founders of the 99% Movement in 2011, which became the Occupy Wall Street movement. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, interviews David DeGraw about the history of the Occupy, the limited information conveyed by the mainstream media, and the underlying economic conditions in the United States that fueled the movement.

TYT need to interview Noam Chomsky.....

[ocelotecpatl]

In this interview, you can see Cenk still has some conservative aspects.

Occupy was to give people confidence and become leaders and we seen it even though I know Cenk would disagree.

Love this interview. Surprised so many likes and no dislikes (so far).

*like*

Good point. The occupy idiots are just selfish assholes who are motivated by greed and think that they deserve more money for doing nothing.

But 50% of Americans are in the 1% of the world, how are these people 'the 99%'?

[Erwin Patterson]

I remember my first time on the internet...

Just youtube search "TYT Noam Chomsky" and the first two videos that will come up are the two interviews.

[nkvd1000]

OK....Interesting. Are you able to post the link?

[DAVID Edwards]

No they did a long time ago there is actually two interviews

[nkvd1000]

I made the comment before they interviewed him. However, i'm glad they have now. I expected more of a spectacle but it was an interesting interview.

Occupy Wall Street was initiated by AdBusters... this is well known

Wait on, because I don't care enough about Chomsky and his ilk to talk much more about him. I do know this, however -- he takes a lot of money from the government, yet vilfies it at every turn. He is hypercritical and spews incredible hate for capitalism yet watches closely his stock portfolio and enjoys his considerable wealth. Do you honestly think that a communist regime today or any day would allow this? Chomsky is again an obvious fraud and you've been duped, dumb!
