I still laugh my balls off looking at the expression on this young dolt.............
 
In this Wall Street/OWS War,who is winning? Wall Street is boasting about their recent big gains while OWS is boasting about having a big impact and hurting Wall Street. But what do you think?
Who exactly is "boasting about having a big impact and hurting wall street"?


Nobody.

Damn! don't you boys ever get tired of beating straw men?
 
Ideas are powerful things and while money can buy the memes that manage the minds of the right wing conservatives and republicans in America, OWS is having a enormous effect as shown by the stats listed below. Long live the revolution in moral ideas - a welcome change from the greed of the past forty years.

"More Americans view Occupy Wall Street favorably (35%) than Wall Street (16%), government (21%), or the Tea Party (21%); and, though the country is gripped by a state of general cynicism, more people hold unfavorable impressions of big business (71%), government (71%), and the Tea Party (50%), than of #Occupy Wall Street (40%). Put simply, #Occupy is the most popular (and least unpopular) thing we’ve got." PJ Rey The Future of the #Occupy Movement (in Memes) » Cyborgology


"Something is profoundly wrong with the way we live today. For thirty years we have made a virtue out of the pursuit of material self-interest: indeed, this very pursuit now constitutes whatever remains of our sense of collective purpose. We know what things cost but have no idea what they are worth. We no longer ask of a judicial ruling or a legislative act: is it good? Is it fair? Is it just? Is it right? Will it help bring about a better society or a better world? Those used to be the political questions, even if they invited no easy answers. We must learn once again to pose them." Tony Judt in 'Ill Fares the Land'
 
Wall Street will win as long as the citizens remain passive = screwing ourselves

You do know that you can invest in the market too don't you?

By not taking advantage of the market you're only screwing yourself.
 
the OWS mission was the change the narrative from deficits to income inequity.

In that sense OWS was successful.

FWIW, there was no "war" so the premise of this thread is somewhat bogus.

Not quite. Only OWS is talking about the income inequity. Most people and news media are talking about the deficit.

The question isn't about popularity, it's about winning. Wall Street has clearly won. Plus, I suspect your numbers are wrong.
 
OWS changed the discussion. That alone is a major victory. If the Dems follow up, and use the real inequities that exist in our system, present remedies for those inequities, we may see some real progress this election.
 
OWS hasn't changed the discussion. They scream in the echo chamber and imagine that what they hear is what someone else said.

Wall Street doesn't have to win anything. Wall Street represents the nation's economy. OWS represents the nation's interest in drug use.
 
I had a friend who was all ate up with the OWS protesters and their so called movement.

For two months that was all he could talk about.

He even went to their Flea Party camp site to help serve food and put up tents.

But now since the OWS circus has folded it's tents and left town.

He has become silent on the subject and never mentions it. :cool:

Both parties are being paid way too much to do anything about Wall Street, regardless of what the discussion among the unwashed masses is.
 
If Wall Street loses, the economy crashes, businesses fold, and we start eating one another. If OWS loses people go to work without stepping over the shit some OWS protester left on their porch.
