I listened to an hour of the dave ramsey show. It was an hour where all OWS protesters could and did call in.

NOT ONE OF THEM KNEW WHAT THE HELL THEY WERE DOING THERE!!!

There was one thing they ALL agreed on....THEY WERE AGAINST THE BAILOUTS FOR THE FAT CATS ON WALL STREET AND THE BANKS!!!

Sounds more like the tea party to me!!!

All this is, is the old left over hippies, living their past life vicariously through the flea baggers!! The old hippie flea baggers are lovin' the new generation of the OWS flea baggers!! They were a joke then and they remain a joke and laughing stock today!!

Good job!

Well I agree with the Marine. I don't think they ought to use force to remove any of the people there. Eventually all of the fleabaggers will return to life and realize that the climax has come and gone. It s time to go to work. I bet there are a lot of them that might want jobs, but a lot don't. There is a lot of frustration in America for the unemployed, but time to pull the bootstraps up, plain and simple.

I'm sorry, but we're fresh out of bootstraps, but of course, you're one of those people that still believe that you can be a billionaire. when you get around to it.

"Fleabaggers"
Who taught you that one?
Hannity? Beck? Limbaugh?

Violence? Guess who is causing it.

You can't hire cops? They're free to do anything they want to, in their off hours.
Think CVS on Central Avenue in Albany, because there's a cop there full time, and not because the department decided that CVS needed any more protection than any place else.

The cops at OWS, are making $37 an hour, when they're not even on "duty".
Wake up. Talk radio, and Fox news are poisoning your mind.

I never said I was expecting to be a billionaire. When did I say that? Why do I care if someone makes more than me? Did I complain that there are more successful people? Either through harder work, better smarts, or better luck- someone is going to do better than me, and I don't begrudge it. I was taught to stay on my own game and worry about me and my own. Every day I need to pull myself up by my own bootstraps. I have done it since I was 12 and God willing as long as I have my health will continue, and I will do so without begrudging anyone else who makes more their own success.

So many people are mad that others are successful, thinking that if others are doing well, that means they are taking off their plate! It is a bogus assumption. Do I want my tax dollars going to them? NO. I was against all the bailouts yet still people say "Oh things would have been worse if we didn't so it." Without a crystal ball I can't say that for sure. However, I distrust the government that says "WE NEED MORE OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR'S MONEY BECAUSE WE CAN'T DO WITH LESS!" Money that is in the hands of the private sector is in the economy one way or the other, when it gets sucked into the gut the government, it gets wasted and little wealth is there to show for it for anyone.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor canceled a speech on "income inequality" at the University of Pennsylvania Friday morning, after his office was told that the school opened the speech to the public, including Occupy Philadelphia.

Apparently Cantor's view of "income inequality" differs greatly with the view of many union members and Occupy
Philadelphia Americans.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING, NEVER HAS BEEN AND NEVER WILL BE, AS INCOME EQUALITY.....

the definition of VALUE is the true discussion.......

I'm a nurse and everyone thinks because I am that I would a BUNCH OF SH!T because it's 'nice'......GET THE FU(K OFF MY BACK.....I am a nurse because I choose to be....NOT because you decide I am good because I tossed you a bone....
morons.....what's the value? hint: it's individual and NOT flock thought.......


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

the 'valuation' occurs because we allow it....based on how we pay our illustrious elected and their workforce......

On some fronts, the Occupy movement has already won...

When asked:
"Who the Obama administration and Republicans in Congress supported the most, the rich, middle class, and the poor, or all of them equally?"
The response was evenly split weather the Obama Administration favors the rich the middle class or the poor.

BUT

The response about Republicans was quite different:
~ 69% said Republicans in Congress favor the rich,
~ 9% said the middle class and
~ 2% said the poor.

Looks like the Democrats have it wrapped up...Obama and the Dems should walk into power.

what the masses better open their ears to is that BOTH parties are embeded in wallstreet......

the people stand on one side and look over the wall, yup there's our elected officials with subsidies/grants/entitlements

so what do we do?

they are ALL on the other side of the wall-street NO MATTER THE PARTY....both party participants(have $$) and take those tax deductions for owning a plane; filling their boat with fuel and the list is so stupid and endless....
ask BOTH dems/reps who prepares their taxes and if they take ALL the available deductions/credits......OF COURSE THEY DO....they dont stand alone saying "look what I did for you"......


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
