Should Occupy have to pay??

[naturegirl]

Pay to protest in a democracy?


The right has NO commitment to the spirit the founders built this country on.

Because 'protesting' costs money. The TEA Parties paid. Are the OSW in some way special that they should not be paying? Why should the taxpayer foot the bill for their 'protest'. They have the right to protest... no right to do it for free.

They are the tax payer you fool

Ummmm, all Americans are the tax payers. Just go ahead and try to have a rally/protest without a permit, I double dog dare you.

I have an idea, let's all go to our local parks, hold a rally, protest a little and tell them we don't have to pay, truthmatters said so. ROTFLMBO

I spent some time with the OWS crowd here in Los Angeles. A few hours talking to folks, trying to get an idea of what they were advocating. Jury's still out.

In any case, one thing for SURE is that these folks do NOT represent the 99%; they represent the 47% who do not pay federal income taxes and therefore, the concept of paying for any of the damage they've caused, I suspect, will not compute.

I suspect they're more like the 9.9% of committed Fabians, Jacobins and other assorted collectivist authoritarian looters that the colleges are churning out.

The Tea Party is thinking the Occupy Protestors should have to pay for property damage, extra security, space and other expenses associated with their protests.

Since the Tea Party paid for all the permits, processed all the paper work necessary and cleaned up behind themselves, shouldn't the OWS have to as well??

I hear they are collecting quite a bit in cash donations. Seems like they could reimburse the cities for the costs.

Yes they should pay for the damages they did to private property and the expenses involved in policing their events.

However, as you can see with the spirit of irresponsibility, greed, and envy in the movement, this won't happen.

So what you are saying is that any Protest that is backed by big money donors like the Tea Party Koch Brothers have the right to free speech

I have a better idea... lets all have a protest on her front lawn and neighborhood.

liesmatters will love and feed us. In return we can all shit and piss all over her house, camp out and trash the neighborhood, redistribute her wealth.. ie...steal her computer.

Well silly, those occupiers are collecting money hand over fist, they're not even sure what to do with it there is so much. Some of them are incorporating so they can be non profits and control the $. So I guess it only depends on who's paying for what.

 

[Lonestar_logic]

BTW give us some proof the Tea Party paid?

One example.

As the person in charge of the 2009 event, Colleen Owens said Richmond officials dictated the number of police and emergency personnel they were required to have on site and required a $1 million liability policy to protect the city.

Read the story here.

The right has NO commitment to the sprit the founders built this country on.

Most cities require a permit in an effort to help avoid traffic and crowd problems.

I understand that taking responsibility for yourself is not something liberals embrace.

Most cities also require licensing and inspections for food service operations...Regulations and LAWS I'm certain the OWS hooligans are flouting and BloomBozo is ignoring.

That's a good point. Every couple of months or so, a story comes out about a cop shutting down a kid's lemonade stand because they don't have a permit. Yet the squatters in Zamboni Park are cooking gourmet meals non-stop.

Doesn't NYC have any permit requirements for food kitchens?

it would seem to me as the elite 1% Hollywood crowd love them... they have enough money to pay the bill.

No, what she's saying is that they should have to follow the same laws, rules and regulations that every other group that wants to assemble a large gathering has to comply with....Difficult concept to grasp as that may be, for the committed moocher and layabout.

No, pay to clean up after yourself. I know that's a foreign concept to you, but do try and keep up.

Well it proves the tea party was made to pay a fee to be there while the OWS people weren't made to pay to gather there.

Which also proves, like you asked for, that they paid
