Divisiveness.
Over and over again I see us vs. them. Rich vs. poor. Haves vs. Have Nots. The only difference is 99% of that 1% is that they worked hard. They EARNED it.
And the "99" want to take that away?
We need to be 100%. Because even at 99, there is divisiveness, there is a separation. There is a gap.
Americans need to be 100%.
Unless you support separation and divisiveness. Then go about your "99" and see how that goes.
We need to stand together.
Would you drive over a bridge that was 99% done?
Would you eat prepared blow fish that was 99% done?
Would you get eye surgery from a doc that had a 99% success rate?
Would you trust your kid to a sitter that was only 99% safe?
Mods, feel free to throw this puppy in the rants if needed.

Fact is is that the Middle class has been losing representation in Washington and most of todays policies do not benefit the middle class. All this country has been doing the past few years is going to wars and so on.
Agreed. But why then, are they protestingbankers instead of politicians?

Wall St. isn't the problem. The fact that our government doesn't enforce contracts, individual and civil rights, and micromanages the economy IS.
Yes the government is controlled by the big money and is a problem.
It is the banks that have placed the WORLD into a very bad spot. Wall street IS a problem. You think criminal activity whether legal by a crooked government is not a problem? They contribute nothing but hard times for everyone but them. They drive the market up and make money then drive it back down and make money.
Where does that money come from? The working class. Real business men that are not crooks. You and the soul you gave up to fight for them in there greed wars.
You can still come to the side of mankind. Become a human again.edit on 7-10-2011 by SeleneLux because: (no reason given)
Wall street IS a problem. --snip-- They drive the market up and make money then drive it back down and make money.
War is what the rich talk the poor into doing for profit

I'm pretty confident in saying that those 1% have what they have because of monopolization, entitlement, and inheritance...destroyers of the free-market system. I'm calling b.s. on your claim.

In other words, you have no freaking idea what on earth you are talking about, since you've been brainwashed into believing a movement is not a movement unless it's being masterminded by one guy with a powerpoint presentation.
Maybe you should study history.

This whole #ing movement has already been derailed.
I was there the second week after it started and let me tell you, there was no preaching or talk about "gimme gimme".
It was about the corruption that runs rampant through the system...it was about how this pyramid scheme of a society we live in is what holding us back as human beings, it was about getting out and trying to make something happen...
Now...its a #ing mess...

You are absolutely wrong.
The 1% didn't earn anything but our hatred.
They profit off the blood and sweat of the people, and we the people will have our day.
We're drawing lines in the sand and it's clear which side you're on.
Enjoy the 1%, I'm sure that your masters will be happy to look after your every need.
I am part of the 1%. Because "they" need me. We are linked. "They" can't survive without me, I can't survive without them.
Hate them because they have more than you.
I will not hate them. Im just want to stop being a slave because of their crapy economic system they have created. The 1% have not all created their wealth and they are manupilating the whole world for there own benifit. Im thru with them stealing my time paying me less of what im supposed to get and destroying the whole world in their thirst fro greed. If i can not have my dreamlife and is working my ass of then they don't deserve their dreams. Either everybody get what is fair in this world and can live a happy life or we will have the apocalypse. The line is drawn and change is on it's way. Earth demands justice. You might not belive it but I don't care at all about money anymore. The system is about to chrash and another system will be built up that is resonable for all and for the nature.
Very telling.
