So, all this time, the Occupy people have been trying to say how smart they are, and how the 1% are the problem. After watching the "Adam vs. The Man" videos, I've come to the conclusion that these people are indeed 99%....yes, they're 99% crazy. And, for the Ron Paul supporters, you should probably understand that these people are NOT your friends.
I submit the following video. Along with the entire Youtube Channel.
Watch the guy in the pink shirt at the beginning. He's apparently one of the "leaders" or "voices" of Occupy DC. He comes back into the video at 4:50 and gives his opinions on Ron Paul and toward the end, he and several other Occupy DC people go on about how the government should be printing money at a break neck pace. I guess the ultimate goal of the Occupy crowd is to make America into the next Zimbabwe.

I'm not buying the lie anymore. It's a movement by the far left now, and that's all. Anyone who is still supporting it is either a far left radical themselves, or they're a useful idiot for the far left and are duped into thinking it's something else.
That being said, I support their right to protest. I doubt they'd do the same if the roles were reversed....

Most people at these rallies are raving lunatics. There is no central message, other than "take from the rich and give it to us!".
And where did the “rich” attain their wealth? Did they earn it? Or did they use lobbyists to infiltrate the government, manipulate the system, write their own legislation, reducing their own regulations? Did they sellout their own businesses, ship them overseas, dumping millions of people into unemployment offices, while boasting record profits on the backs of foreign slave labor? Did they bully people into taking out mortgages and loans they knew they couldn’t afford under the guise of promises, which later turned out to be blatant lies? Did they brandish overpriced treatments for diseases, diseases that they promote in their overpriced merchandise, while spending no money on cures or cleaner/healthier products? Did they use the Fed to print so much money that there isn't enough gold in the world to balance the value, and in so have bankrupted not just this country but dozens of others?
You say the people are trying to steal the wealth from the rich. I say they are merely stealing it back.edit on 13-10-2011 by FugitiveSoul because: (no reason given)

I would agree with you on this, but unless it reads "Corporate person hood AND Unions", I'm all for the field being leveled between the parties. A stalemate is better than 100% control by either party. Ban Union money AND corporate money at the same time, and now we can agree.
