by leveling the playing field (one of the REAL demands is that the corporations, banks, and "elite" pay their fair share, not more, just what they are supposed to be paying before the loopholes and tax breaks.) you almost over night produce more tax revenue.

For the life of me, I cant understand how other OWS supporters here can remain supporters while knowing who is climbing in bed with OWS.
Am I supposed to stop supporting clean drinking water if the American Nazi party comes out in favor of that same thing?
Seriously guys, this is more pathetic than the endless anti-obama threads.
guilt by association, that last ditch efforts of shills when backed into a corneredit on 18-10-2011 by phishyblankwaters because: (no reason given)
Funny.
Yet those like yourself lambast the Tea Party at every turn.
Ahhh, the wonderful irony.

The integrity of the whole is only as good as the integrity of the few. If you seek change for the betterment of mankind then you can not afford to allow those who hate to be associated with the cause. It would do the OWS good to distance themselves from the likes of the Nazis right away lest the message be lost before it could be heard. This is sound advice that should not be disregarded. Instead of defending the Nazis right to be there all OWSers should be divesting themselves from them. Not snuggling up.
The same goes for all the groups listed in the OP. You can not have a virtuous protest whilst harboring hate mongers. It is diametrical to the movement.

I can't support OWS for a few reasons, none of which are political. I am all for people standing up for them selves and trying to be heard through protests, strikes, sit ins whatever you think you need to do to get your voice heard. It makes me happy to people coming together for a cause. BUT, something I can't get out of my head is that for some reason that I can't put my finger on, I have an overwhelming feeling that this is going to end up extremely violent and in a disaster somehow and I don't want to be a part of that. I also can't help but wonder......this is the middle of a school year right now, I know you people don't all have kids, but, some of you do and your choosing to camp out and walk around with a sign instead of being there for your kids and making sure they are educated properly and attending school and being a proper parent, it seems very irresponsible to me. I can't be a part of something that is in effect responsible for child neglect of any kind.

And your point is? In this "free" world we apparently live in, people are allowed to "support" whichever things they feel like, and the support of a group in no way belittles the people being supported.
Keep trying, your pathetic attempts will surely gain you cheers and applause from the usual crowd.
One thing though, which is how I opened this post, what is your point?

I wanted to homeschool as well. Alas my child loves going to school each day and being an only child I see the benefit of her being around her peers. I do however undo the indoctrination every day when she comes home. I still homeschool not with 'school work' but I endeavour to teach her to question everything, to use critical thinking skills, to dig deeper than what is on the printed page and what is fed to her through the media. We explore art and poetry, music and nature...I just try to fill in the gaps and give her a more well rounded experience than the severely lacking one at the public school. I view the public school as simply another tool in her education. She is learning how to deal with many types of personalities, learning how to function in a large group and be part of a society.

I doubt it. This world is just layers upon layers upon layers of control. OWS is just another of those layers and the participants are puppets in a class warfare skit that's one act in the very master production that they think they're revolting against. No doubt the powers-that-be couldn't be happier with the way things are progressing.
