Don't know what they want? That doesn't sound very objective to me because there is a plethora of information on the interweb. I think you need to listen to Hedges critique the OWS and explain to you what's it stands for. It's called neo-feudalism. This is the world we live in and we are all 21st century serfs.

So, if CEO's know how to make the money that Obama and his followers want, maybe Obama should step aside and let the greedy corporate CEO's run the country and let them do what they do best?


Horrible horrible horrible horrible idea

Indirectly they're already running the government anyway, politicians are mere sock puppets nowadays


Which is why those protests are so important and justified...

There's one interview to get out to the public... About as polite as you can put it into words.

Um, they already do. They have bought all the candidates and policies and laws that benefit them. This was not that they made their money from above board business, this is for them paying off the congress and senate to change anything that got in their way of ripping people off for more money.
For example, the credit card companies wrote new bankruptcy laws that they wanted and put them in effect with the help of our congress. Most times though , they just have them write them and pay to have them passed.

right let them do what they do best, like rape our pockets and pay no taxes. Why don't we just let big banks run our country, then they can make slaves of us all much faster. It isn't like they don't already skip out on their taxes, AFTER big tax breaks. Or over charge their customers for service. Wonderful idea, why don't we just let a rich guy into office to destroy lower and middle class america then the 1% richest of our population can have the country all to themselves.

Don't mean to rant, but the point of this thread is to point out the hypocrisy that is playing out.
I mean, Obama and the 99% folks want to take what the 1 per cent possess.

This is more evil than what the ninety-niners are accusing the greedy CEO's of being.
Why?

Because "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors _blank_!"

So, if CEO's know how to make the money that Obama and his followers want, maybe Obama should step aside and let the greedy corporate CEO's run the country and let them do what they do best?



You seem to have missed the point. OWS does not want what the 1% has, they want the 1% to stop gaming the system...or better yet, for the system to stop giving them this nations wealth.

They took trillions and trillions by fraud in unregulated ponzi schemes. Bernie Madoff was just the tip of that iceberg. And when their ponzi scheme was exposed rather than eat the loss, they went to the US government who rather than prosecute, directly gave them Trillions in taxpayer dollars. All the while enjoying historically low tax rates and a phone book of tax-loop holes to protect what they take.

No one wants to steal from the richest 1%...we would like an equal and honest playing field.

This country is in serious trouble....
