--or as...When you want to end the PUPPET SHOW, you take out the PUPPETMASTERS, not the puppets, EX.
It's supposed to be that way.
The constitution was written by the people who set things up where "the federal government passes laws and enacts policies at its behest". The problem is not the people buying and selling being able to pull strings. The problem is the idea that the government cut the strings to people who don't buy and sell.
@Politicalchic..(who is more likey some guy who like it up the ***) and works for Fox News. If you read the constitution you'll find threw the Sct case law that the framers had much to say about nothing which was later said to much by the imagination of the right wing fiscist radicals who would like the poor to go out into the middle of the ocean and drown themselves.
The masses and the poor are going nowhere but to overcome the eliteist way of life. The rid the world of facism and elitist way of life to make room for the masses who have shown the way, the truth, and the light..unlike u selfish materialistic person who thinks the elite rule while the working class is take all the they spoonfeed the rest of us.
Congratulations!
This is the most poorly written post of the day!
On the bright side, it is exactly matched with your thinking skills!
Base on both writing and thinking, you will never be addressed as anything but 'sonny.'
Now, be sure to come back once you can cross the street by yourself.
That's where the conversation stops because basic values are by choice and not a matter of reasoned debate, and we have not chosen the same values. I say governments must rule at the wish of the people and you don't.The one implies the other, and no, it's NOT supposed to be that way...The problem is not the people buying and selling being able to pull strings. The problem is the idea that the government cut the strings to people who don't buy and sell.

Coulter is probably the only person more stupid than you!From "Demonic," by the brilliant Ann Coulter:
"Many of liberals' peculiarities are understandable only when one realizes that they are a mob. For example, a crowd's ability to grasp only the simplest ideas is reflected in the interminable slogans.
Your hypocrisy is priceless!If that were true then instead of 'OCCUPY WALL STREET" we'd be hearing from "OCCUPY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT"....The assertion is not and never has been that the 1% were bad people, let alone that we ought to "hate" them. It's that our government policies have been skewed so as to benefit them economically, at the expense of the rest of us....
We're not, so it isn't.
Of course, what you say is true.....
.1. ..what some of our colleagues miss is that this is [B]far more political than economic.[/B]The Big Government folks have used the method made famous, recently, bySaul Alinsky: 'Pick the Target, Freeze It, Personalize It and Polarize It.'
Once the targets were the kulaks.
"Comrades! ... You need to hang (hang without fail, so that the public sees) at least 100 notorious kulaks, the rich, and the bloodsuckers. ... "

Hmm, Translation problem. Where are chatting?...You do not say that governments must rule at the wish of the people... ...Stop lying....I say governments must rule at the wish of the people...
Hmm, Translation problem.

As before, I say one thing and you respond as if you heard me saying the opposite of what I said. That's where we leave the Planet Earth to a forum in Bizarro World....you do NOT believe that the government should enact the will of the people, only of the richest people...

One of my values is that we should glory in that we love our kind, that we love both rich and poor alike, and that humanity does in fact need this love....the uber-wealthy, of whom I personally know a few, don't need your love...
The left don't hate other classes! They (I) hate a system based on exploiting many to benefit a small portion of the population. Additionally, the left hates a system that lies about being a meritocracy while still being full of inequality.
I can't post quotes yet as I'm new but the same person who posted the quote in my title wondered how the left can say we believe certain things (for example, the massive tax cuts to corporations should stop) but then can support Obama (who bailed out Wall Street). I voted for Obama, not because he is amazing but because the alternative was so horrible.
I am left, I voted Democrat, but those things do not mean Obama represents me. They mean I would have rather had him be President than John McCain with that bat-shit crazy, Sarah Palin, as VP.
Great post. OWS don't have any idea what would happen to our economy if that 1% were forced into what we now consider the upper middle class.Every think how lucky folks are to have the President and his party ready to point out the evil-doer, you know, the Wall Street baddies!
Maybe we should double check before we get the pitch-forks, and light the torches...
Who are the Top 1%, so reviled by the class warriors?
1. If the Occupy Wall Street protests are aiming to take down the "1 percent" of Americans who control the increasingly largest chunk of our nation's wealth, perhaps they need to redirect their efforts to somewhere other than Wall Street.
2. According to Nicole Lapin of CNN, financial services professionals make up just 14 percent of that top 1 percent of wage earners. Their average salary of $311,000 per year, while quite gaudy, falls just below the threshold needed to break into the highest-earning subset.
3. The biggest single group of professionals in the top one percent is actually doctors, who make up 16 percent of that subset.
4. Executives and managers outside of finance make up 31% of the total, but Lapin didn't break them down by industry.
5. David Carr of The New York Times would also like to offer up his bosses as targets for the mass uprising, pointing out in his column today that media executives are some of the worst offenders when it comes to CEOs who reap multi-million dollar bonuses and golden parachutes by slashing budgets and laying off rank-and-file workers. Go ahead and add them to the list.
6. So those who want to direct their anger at the winners in the income inequality sweepstakes might want to look beyond the lower of half of Manhattan. There's plenty of other folks closer to home that you might want to have a word with. Where Does the Top 1% Really Work? - National - The Atlantic Wire
7. Lawyers make up 9 percent. The 1 Percent Are Not All Wall Streeters?But Lots of Them Are Bosses - Business - GOOD
8. To get into the top 1% of Americans you dont need to be a billionaire or millionaire or half-millionaire. The minimum wage earners in that group make about $343k/year .The top 1% of wage earners earn 17% of the nations income. Nicole Lapin, Who the Heck Are the "Top 1%"?!!
I'll bet the Leftist elites knew who they were...but also knew that the Lefties and the ones they control were too dumb to remember all those groups....so: "Occupy Wall Street!"
From "Demonic," by the brilliant Ann Coulter:
1. Gustave Le Bon, in his groundbreaking 1896 book, The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind, was the first to identify the phenomenon of mass psychology. Both Hitler and Mussolini used his book to understand how to incite a mob.
2. "Many of liberals' peculiarities are understandable only when one realizes that they are a mob. For example, a crowd's ability to grasp only the simplest ideas is reflected in the interminable slogans.
3. As is usual in the evolution of a mob, vagrants, professional protesters, and thugs swelled the ranks. Firebombing and rock throwing assaults punctuated the speeches.(The Sixties. Here we go again.)
