I opt for to help keep my title much less material descriptive and based more about web page branding. Would you're thinking that this is a very good plan or terrible idea? Any kind of help will be considerably valued. http://thetavateasite.com/

I am from Ireland guys and I am giving you full support and I hope you all stick it out. It is about time the shadows that run everything from behind the scenes. It's time to break up the corrupt financial system and send them a message that "we are not sheep and we will join together and FIGHT BACK" VIVA LA REVOLUCION

We need more of these! Please, it only takes 2 minutes to write on a piece of paper/cardboard or to print something with bold script off of your printer.

I was really confused by your project's name, the 99% Project. I thought you were referring to the 99% of Americans who don't join the military, leaving that job to the 1% who do join the military to protect their Country (I happen to be one of them). So imagine my surprise, when I figured out your project is all about Class-Envy, Class-Warfare, or as I like to call it,.... Communism!!

I'm not rich (yet), actually I probably will never be rich (the odds are against you), but the last thing I want, is to STEAL from the people that do have wealth, because one day if my dream comes true (to be rich), I wouldn't want anybody stealing my wealth from me then either.

Grow up Libtard Communist!! Crack open a book, get a new skill that somebody might want to pay you for, don't put yourself into debt trying to keep up with the Jones', don't have kids out of wedlock, don't get arrested and sent to jail, don't do drugs, stop waiting for Daddy Government to make everything right for you, and maybe one day you'll make it on your own too. Yeah, yeah, I know, that's a lot of rules to follow!! But you can do it, if you stop wasting your time on projects like this.

You all really sound silly to me!! The 60's are over, Communism is a proven failure, so if you want to be successful in life, here's a little bit of advice for you, do it yourself!! It's up to you!! Your Project is going to be a failure, and because it will be, you'll have let another month go by, without improving your lot in life. And that's one month, you'll never get back. So stop with the Class-Warfare Communist B.S., it's a loser, and it makes you sound like a loser too!! I really hate Commies!!

While you have legitimate concerns sadly you are not addressing the heart of the matter! Wall Street is nothing without the willing support of the Political machine of WASHINGTON! This includes Obama and the rest of our prestigious bureaucrats who need and use Wall street to their own benefit! And you must also take issue with the Fed. which means the entire banking system. You do not have any real friends in the Democrat party! This partnership of Govt. Wall St. and the Fed. lies at the very scource of all that has led to the kind of conditions you are seeking to rectify! Wall street alone is not going to do it! This trinity of corruption must be dissolved or severly restricted! Until it is your grievances will never be resolved! And I mean never!

GE pays taxes as well as other major corporations. The individual GE employees pay the taxes. If you add up all the taxes paid by the thousands of employees at GE that dollar total would be substantial.

The problem with capitalism today is that it is world-based but America is still nationally-based.

The only solution to today's problems is to unite the world in ONE government, ONE currency, ONE culture.

But there is not enough money to go around. If the 99% get there way then the world's capital would have to more evenly distributed. That means only one thing and one thing only: COMMUNISM.

I don't mind sharing more. But I don't want to share with people with low values. I think all rich people think the same. Therefore the challenge to the world is to raise its consciousness. That is to say for people's minds to become Buddha minds.
