We are the 99%

[Angry_Vegetable]

I probably will get flamed for this, but I am begging everyone of this board to at least consider the merits of OWS (Occupy Wall Street). What we have seen for quite some time now is the purposeful division of our society along very few issues. (Gun control, gay marriage, abortion, etc.) At the same time, we have seen the Treasury gutted, our Civil Liberties curtailed, and the normalization of a permanent state of war.

It doesn't matter which vetted politician is in charge, (Obama, Bush, Clinton) we get tossed to the side all the same. Both Bush and Obama bailed out the banks. Obama continues to throw the Bill of Rights out the window.

I am sure everyone knows that the laundry list of problems looks endless, but we must recognize that a many faced monster turns us against each other while reaching into our pocketbooks. These few that attempt to steer hatred of our fellow citizens into our lives have no political agenda, they are only concerned about their own gain, and they win every time a liberal calls a conservative a fascist or a tea bagger, or a conservative calls a liberal a hippie or a commie. These people that we are dealing with at the top are political chameleons who have no interest in the survival of the nation, only the endurance of their egos and pride.

Long live the Republic.

Wow, what an appropriate screen name you've chosen. It seems to suit you well.

"These people that we are dealing with at the top are political chameleons who have no interest in the survival of the nation, only the endurance of their egos and pride."

These people we are dealing with at the bottom, who are trying to bring down the hand that feeds most of them, are doing the GOP a great favor, in the long run. The Independents are watching and guess on whose side they won't wish to be....

OWS? You mean COWS

Crazies Occupy Wall Street

Get a fucking job, asshole.

Does anyone else have to swallow a little vomit every time one of these nutters tells us that some hand is feeding us?

OK,

I agree they have merit. Hey, wHat can I say, I am a 99%er

 

[California Girl]

I'm the 99% too. And you guys do not speak for me. I speak for myself. Pisses me off somewhat when someone hijacks my individual freedom for their fucking left wing agenda.

But... Say Hi to Watermelon Man Van Jones from me.

You've asked that before and in a couple different threads now.

Who said anything about replacing capitalism?

They are not the 99%. And if you support them - nor are you.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

I'm not the 1 percent but I'm striving to get there because of the immense challenge and to provide good paying jobs.

This is not about replacing capitalism. The economic meltdown had nothing to do with capitalism, only cronyism and corruption. I think liberals and conservatives can both agree on that point. This is about putting the power of representation back into the people's hands.


Don't get me wrong, liberals and conservatives will still tear each other's throats out in the future, but hopefully without someone stealing from us both while we do it.

You can fuck off with the "99%" crap then. You are not the 99%. You aren't even .0001%. Get a fucking job. Pay your own way.

How is it part of the left wing agenda to say that there is an immense amount of coordinated corruption in this country from both parties?

Oh, knock off the overly dramatic claims of 'hate' and 'malice, mule.

I'm doing great - I work, I pay my own way, I don't need anyone to demand that my debts are written off. They are my debts, I will pay them. You - and your asshole puppets - do not speak for me.

Your masters want to overthrow our Republic. We will not stand for that. You tell Watermelon Man that.

And you surround me? Thanks for the support.
