The Occupy Wall Street Movement is WORKING!!!

[Big Fitz]

OWS has done a great job.

They have drawn attention to Wall Street's $516 trillion dollar derivatives Ponzi scheme that destroyed the world economy.

s0n...if a bear shits in the forest, does it stink?

Nobody cares about OWS....as per every poll. Here in New York, people look at them as a group of nutters looking for a free ride..........same as the crack heads and homeless roaming the city.

Occupy Wall Street Favor Fading - Public Policy Polling

To actually hold them to the same accountability rules and behavior as 'normal' citizens would destroy their movement. This should be done immediately.

Indeed.........too, you got the hordes of the insanely jealous assholes of the world who cant for a moment stomach the thought of somebody else being successful!!! These dolt types think all the worlds problems are due to the wealthy of this world and that government is rich in virtues. Dumbasses think that government is the answer to everything and providing them absolute power would rid the world of fairness issues and material inequalities......is if it were the ultimate blueprint for a society that needs not be concerned about lifes necesary tradeoffs. Meatheads like this board member Chris really believe this shit, as do many other members of these forums. THese types never question the integrity of people in government as if people in government really have our best interests at heart. Its amazingly naive thinking.......but thankfully, its also loser thinking. At most, only about 21% of the country sympathize with those on the far left and their vision of our country, yet they come in here and post as if their thinking is mainstream.........which is ALWAYS what draws me back to these forums. For all the philosophy and all the pompous elitist my way or the highway sentiment, they are in a perpetual state of LOSING!!!

The look of shock on this ^^ assholes face is classic.........almost peed my pants I laughed so hard. A clueless asshole who doesnt know shit about shit but thinks he does...........but he will. He will eventually come to terms what any sane person comes to terms with in life: That two questions must be answered when looking at any public policy issue, 1) At what cost? 2) As compared to what?. This asshole above hasnt looked at that dynamic until now. But in the future.............he will!!!

I thought this was interesting Big Fitz. Within the Occupy Philly movement, there are several warring factions. One group, called "Reasonable Solutions" has voted to move across the street so that the city can begin a major construction project, providing 1000 jobs. I just checked out the Occupy Phila. facebook page and according to the administrator of that group, "Reasonable Solutions" is NOT part of their movement. Check this out:

Occupy Philadelphia: Reasonable Solutions is NOT Occupy Philly. They are mostly right-wing men who have been trying to divide & undermine Occupy Philly. That's who the City gave a bogus permit to, as if they have any legitimacy or affiliation with OP. RS and the City are our opponents in this political struggle for justice, freedom, and democracy.

It is quite telling that a group that considers itself "reasonable", advocates non-violence, and is actually concerned about "JOBS" would be labled "right wing".

Quite telling.

The economic collapse occurred in 2008.

There were 2 million foreclosures in the U.S. in 2008.

There are 131 million homes in the U.S.

So how did 2% of the homes in the U.S. being in foreclosure bring down the world economy?

It didn't.

It was the $516 trillion dollar derivatives Ponzi scheme that Wall Street ran.

Buffett warned about derivatives in 2003. He called them "weapons of mass financial destruction."

He was right.

"Question What is a trillion?

"A million seconds is about 11 and 1/2 days, a billion seconds is 32 years and a trillion seconds is 32,000 years."

(or,)

John Kitzhaber (former Gov. Oregon), looked at how much a ‘trillion’ really is:

1 million seconds ago was Last week.

1 billion seconds ago, Nixon leaves White House.

1 trillion seconds ago, 30,000 BC."

Act Two of Wall Street's Great Ponzi Production is opening in Europe.

How much of their wealth will conservatives hand over this time?

You're over complicating this. If you want to see a Ponzi scheme in action Boy George, take a look at our rate of increase in Federal spending and what we're doing to our children.

I do have a solution to your wall street "ponzi scheme" though. Leave them alone to operate freely. If they fail let them fall. I like how you liberals say we free marketers caused the problem when regulated markets collapse and then you attack us for bail outs (which we opposed ) of private companies. Basically you're full of it, we wanted none of it. You wanted all of it. Government control of markets and finger pointing when you fail.

The occupy movement is failing all across the country. They are reduced to hiring the homeless to occupy for them while the occupiers go home.

Clue one for them. The homeless are inherently unreliable, that's why they are homeless. The people who live and work in the affected areas are tired of the stench, filth and inconvenience. The novelty for the politicians has worn off.

The next fight involving the occupiers is going to come on election day when the sights and sounds of the occupy sites are used against incumbents.

What a goofball..............

s0n......you are the definition of the naive asshole...........like all the jerkoffs down in OWS. How many are down there? A couple of thousand........maybe? This is America s0n......and in America, your world view is far, far fringe. In fact, your view barely fits on the political spectrum s0n..............

Whomp....

I guess OWS will be good fodder for John Stewart in days to come.

Looks like they are getting kicked out all over the place.

Does North Dakota have an OWS movement ? If not to bad.....it would be good for them to spend some time outside right about now.

How are you defining "free market"?

"In the Classical sense of markets that are free of undue Rentier capitalism OR markets where physical and financial assets are free to play a productive role in the economy?

"Rentier capitalism is a term used in Marxism and sociology which refers to a type of capitalism where a large amount of profit-income generated takes the form of property income, received as interest, intellectual property rights, rents, dividends, fees, or capital gains.[citation needed]

"The beneficiaries of this income are a property-owning social class who, it is argued, play no productive role in the economy themselves but who monopolise the access to physical assets, financial assets, and technologies.

"They make money not from producing anything new themselves, but purely from their ownership of property (which provides a claim to a revenue stream) and dealing in that property."

Rentier capitalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Some forms of property are theft.

Like the theft that occurred in 2008 when many of us on the left and right agreed, "let them fail."
I hope you're not simplistic enough to think ELECTED Republicans OR Democrats will ever let that happen.

The next fight involving occupiers will be in the budget.

Reforms proposed in just three areas (equity, environment, and security) could generate $824 billion in new revenues every year or nearly seven times the total savings Super Congress was tasked to identify.

You can thank OWS (and not the Koch brothers or Herman Cain) for equity reform:

"We've identified six fair tax reforms that could generate $375 billion per year in new revenue. For example, we recommend raising tax rates on those who make more than $1 million per year and increasing taxes on income from wealth so that the rates are the same as those on income from work.

"We also call for a small tax (say, 0.25 percent) on trades of stocks, bonds, and derivatives as a way to both generate revenue and discourage the high-risk, high-frequency trading that erodes confidence in the stability of markets."

America's calling for Wall Street and the 1% to pay their fair share.
America's calling for less war and more jobs
America's calling for prosecutions of those responsible for the Great Recession.
America's calling for an end of the rule of the 1%.

The Bloomberg reporters have been following that money. Alison Stewart spoke with one, Bob Ivry, to talk about the true cost to the taxpayer of the Wall Street bailout."

Ray Lewis reflects on his 19 years as a cop in some of Philadelphia's poorest neighborhoods:

"Retired Philadelphia Police Captain Ray Lewis sits down with “Countdown” guest host David Shuster to explain his reasons for supporting the Occupy movement and tell about his arrest.

"In Part 1, Lewis reflects on the sense of suffering that drew him to participate, reacts to the conduct of the police officer who pepper-sprayed Occupiers on the UC Davis campus and criticizes the conduct of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Lewis talks about the series of strategic meetings among officials that led to the destruction of Zuccotti Park, saying, 'Everybody was involved, and every angle was covered, and at the end of it, he put his stamp on it. He is responsible.'”

The 1% are the problem in this country.
Just as they have been in all countries for thousands of years.
Their End begins in November of 2012.
