We know what you meant and I stand in support of those protesting in Boston today! No more bank bailouts! I'll be protesting in Fresno, CA soon.
hey, can i hitch a ride? Im a bit offs near Anehiem
It was total BS when the cops pushed those WWII veterans over and desecrated the American flag.
For "This" to work for WHO!!! Don't mention Race, Politics, Religion or any real ISSUES, just follow your way to the pits of the TEA BAGGERS re-inventing themselves. I have gone to several pages of people organizing and they ALL are Racist-Stereo-Typing sites. So, as you say do not speak follow-- I will NOT. Also, to be SHEEPLE is not a good look! There is a reason this is so random RACISTS are at the core and are directing "SHEEP" to follow with no sense of where they are being lead!
I got info on this group "Occupy Wall Street" from this site!https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001707973399 It may me somewhat dismayed to realize this group is a "RACIST" Group Denying Racism is their New RACISM! I will NOT support a Racist Stereotyping GROUP this is shamefull in this day in age RACIST are BACK!!! Tea baggers reinvented!!!
Short of the bottom dropping out like it did for manufacturing it's hard to see the affluent and semi-affluent techies here participating much.
SO many college kids here. That has an upside and a downside for a (hopefully) mass movement. Just sayin'.
A solid first step in fixing our economic and political woes is to disqualify any person worth more than two million dollars from holding political office. The rich are too corrupted by greed to be an any benefit to the community generally. Putting the rich in government is like turning over the reins of power to a bunch of felons. The American middle class, the true creator of jobs and wealth, should control the government for the people. I look forward to some politician proposing this amendment before the greed of the already wealthy completely destroys our democratic way of life, economy and values. The foundation of our nation is not capitalism but democracy in the form of a Republic. Capitalism is nowhere even mentioned in the American Constitution. Capitalism is a tool of democracy to generate wealth and prosperity. Democracy should not be the tool of capitalism to generate wealth for a few. Capitalism is a beast that must be harnessed to pull the plow for the well-being of humanity. Now is an historic opportunity for hard-working and creative middle class Americans to assert their majority rights against a corrupt and ineffective elite who have brought the country to the brink of ruin.
My hat is off to you young people who had the guts to start this' new wave' Many of us older people are watching you ,we are on the sidelines because we fear , we have much to lose if we fight the system..but we know that there is an Aristocracy forming in this country and will not stand for it. Keep up the 'stand' because soon many,many of us older Americans will be joining you. Lets show the world what it means to be American...
A Message to “WALL STREET” and to all those who love Unequal Weights and Deceitful Scales

Capital Ground :
Now is the shared time / Of our last riches /
To each birth / Freedom / A drop of water / Thirsty of river /
To each birth / Equality / A drop of sweat / Exhausted of misery /
To each birth / Fraternity / A drop of air / Dirty of deserts /
Now is the exorcised time / Of our planetary reasons /
The articulated time / Of a capital / Ground.

The police should be joining in the march instead of tying marchers up. Take a chill pill blue boys. Don't you know that you're just a part of the 99% like the rest of us? The grapevine has it that a Wall St firm put a few million into your trust fund. Is abusing citizens part of the deal? Did they also pay off your boss? Please remember the meaning of 'Demo' (people) and 'cracy' (government) = Rule by the People. These are the same workers that first responders tried to help 10 years ago. Take a breath officers and let the people go.

Much of people's productive work on this planet is subject to taxation. Some tax money pays for services that are a benefit to people; other taxation is excessive and unacceptable, funding government corruption, warmongering, and feeding an elite, including a bloated bureaucracy. Through the automated collection of income taxes, value added taxes, sales taxes, utility taxes, etc., authorities seek to make the payment of taxes an unconscious act. While many believe that they live in a free society, or that they own a property, they would find out otherwise if they refused to pay taxes. For these reasons, while many people work to boost their income, haggle about price, or search for low prices, they often pay taxes with blind resigned acceptance.
SEED THOUGHT: Taxes are not a given, they should be paid as a matter of conscious choice. People should mentally resist paying all types of taxes (income, value added, sales, utility, etc.). They must consciously, rather than blindly, pay taxes, while mentally directing these funds to the greater good.
When the NYPD loses their pensions,.then we will see them out marching with us.
I would like to see a real discussion on removing our money from big banks and transferring our accounts to locally owned credit unions.
Ive been with the NFCU for 17 yrs. I suggest everyone withdraw your accounts from BOF and the rest of those welfare leaching banks and open a credit union account whereas you will deal with humans,Americans and not someone in another country who doesn't speak your language.
Don't forget the CHEM TRAILS!!! They are poisoning us in Tucson, Arizona at 5:40pm as I write this. Google - What in the world are they spraying? Good Luck - God Bless America.
Canada is with you too! Mark October 15'th on your calendar and join us in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, and Montreal as per:

Our banks make far too much profit all the time and should have their taxes raised by 3000% each year and have that money be used for social safety nets instead of being used to build monuments to their execess!

I pray that those who take part in NY and elsewhere, representing those of us who must act locally, do so with dignity, with thought, and with the fact that the wealthy could not have EVER gained this much power without a complacent upper-"middle"-class of "progressives" (your parents...????). I'm sorry for that truth, and for the fact that the most DECENT and HONEST people we have ever known have BEEN the POOREST. WE have fought the internationalist corporations for forty years - my brother died (after surviving Viet Nam) fighting as a union steward for the working poor. My wife and I have fought and worked for the poor, as we fought for ourselves to obtain college degrees. Now, as as we get older, we are losing what little we ever earned and are just BARELY surviving homlessness here. As the working middle-class, WE have CONSERVED for FORTY YEARS, driving small cars, renting tiny apartments, without vacations, without money to travel with our parents before they all died, without hope or creative spirit left in our bodies. Now, it is your turn to fight for US as we worked and fought for YOU in the past so that at least some of you could enjoy time and life in the light.

Can we delete the assholes from this site?
no there is no moderator who can do that, just use those arrows
We need to nudge and encourage the media to do some of their own reading, investigating, and evaluating instead of just looking to repeat what protesters or representatives might say (the way they currently tend to simply repeat what a spokesperson, lobbyist, politician, and so forth say on the air, in print, or in public).
Those in the media are part of the 99%, as are their viewers, so they owe it to the viewers to figure out what part of the protesters' message has merit and substance, and choose what they believe to be is the most important story. Everyone that talks to the media needs to repeat this every time they are given a chance to speak. Look up the demands as they are listed across all the Occupy websites, examine them, investigate them, and report!
I agree!!
I suggest talking to local Radio hobbyists to start pirate radio stations. The media is big-money owned. Yesterday, I listened to WBZ (Boston) and there was only a 1 minute mention of the 700 arrests on the brooklyn bridge... without any details. Radio and TV is now corporate owned... it's time for people to steal the air and take back what rightfully belongs to the people: access to public broadcast spectrum. I own a pirate FM station and I'll be putting it back on the air to attempt to cover this movement. I encourage others to do the same - if you have technical skills and can put together a station to broadcast in your town, help support those in this movement, and get their voices on the DIAL!
Keep the ideas coming. Find a leader or way to help that inspires you or become one yourself. Be positive about this movement--Don't rip into other people's ideas. I'm joining a flash mob meditation tomorrow and preparing sandwiches for my brothers and sisters that have been out there doing the work for all of us!
They can get cash without the fee while they're there!
Do you mean "with our brothers and sisters"? (What appears is "without our brothers and sisters.")
I think that's what they meant to type.
Skank of America
Awesome!
Totally!
Protest the protest! GET A JOB!
I have a job, but I protest wall street corruption and small business extinction.
