Why does their message have to be homogenous?
The whole system has turned to shit and they're pissed off, isn't that enough?
Clever people are supposed to be elected and paid a lot of money to fix these things and they're not and these people are pissed off!
Sure, there are plenty in the movement that have no idea about economic theory or political reality and spouting fruitcake ideas but they're pissed off that everything is broken...just like the Tea Party.
It's arrogance to write them off as an unhygienic rabble.
The problem is the government - more precisely government interference...
Its not the governments job to regulate an economy, and that is exactly what they have been trying to do for the last century... They've been more aggressive over the past 30 years then ever before..
What you're seeing today is the failure of Keynesian economics...
The fucking government made the banks fail, they make wall street fail...
What the fuck do you expect when you force lending and print endless amounts of money????
Dictated economies NEVER work... Our economy is just another example of how humans cannot dictate an economy or an outcome......
If those apes were smart they'd be on Pennsylvania Ave instead of shitting on, stealing and occupying private property....
It's not the banks fault, it's not wall streets fault - it's the fucking governments fault for sticking their hands where they don't belong...
I think the point of the protest being in Wall St is because that represents the most visible inequalities.
Not an unreasonable location I would have thought.
I'm not an economist so could you tell me if there has ever been a truly unregulated economy (except maybe Somalia)?
