We are you and you are us! This is all that matters! The only reason why we accept the unions is they are getting squeezed out and they represent the little guy.

The political stances of our partner firms in no way, shape, sense or form an indication nor is it to be taken as a confirmation of any political allegiance as well as not to ever be seen as a declaration of our global political allegiance as our political allegiance is forever sworn to The people of and The World while the national group declares allegiance to the people of and The United States Of America! Stick that in your pipe! Show me a law requiring that all organizations must declare a political allegiance? That's right, there ain't none!

We want nothing from Soros, what we'd truly like is for him and his buddies to get out of the way and go away forever and that's being civil. He is apart of the problem so why would we deal with him on any level? Think about it! If I'm not mistaken Adbusters no longer has any business with Tides due the involvement of Soros!

Front groups of the community organization ACORN played a major role in organizing the OWS protests nationwide. For instance, the Working Families Party (WFP), a longtime ACORN front, helped mobilize the demonstrations in New York City. "[We are] actually trying to change the capitalist system we have today because it’s not working for any of us," WFP organizer Nelini Stamp told Laura Flanders of Free Speech TV in an interview.
Meanwhile, ACORN’s newer front groups were likewise deeply involved in launching and expanding the OWS movement throughout the fall of 2011. For instance, New York Communities for Change -- led by longtime ACORN lobbyist Jon Kest -- helped WFP organize the demonstrations in lower Manhattan. In Pennsylvania, Action United participated in the "Occupy Pittsburgh" rallies. In Florida, Organize Now took part in "Occupy Orlando." The Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment led the "Occupy L.A." protests. And New England United for Justice, headed by former ACORN national president Maude Hurd, participated in the related “Take Back Boston” rallies in Massachusetts.
The Communist Party USA (CPUSA) was also heavily involved in OWS's formation and early growth. At the heart of "Occupy Los Angeles," for instance, were two Southern California communists -- veteran Party leader Arturo Cambron and his comrade Mario Brito. In early October 2011, Brito declared that OWS's chief objective was to achieve “economic justice,” and added: “This is an international movement ... The vast majority of Americans actually believe income inequality is a major problem. The only reason they haven’t acted upon it is because there hasn’t been a mass movement.” In an October 15, 2011 address to the nearly 3,000 attendees at an "Occupy Chicago" rally, John Bachtell, a spokesman from the CPUSA's national board, claimed to “bring greetings and solidarity from the Communist Party”; he received a number of loud ovations from the crowd.

Noooo! Don't you watch FOX news?! Didn't you hear?! Every protester out there is a jobless, lazy, progressive who LOVES to give Soros back rubs in his money showers. Don't mind the fact that this is no more co-opted than any other movement that has ever existed, just listen to the fact that this one has almost as many uninformed members as FOX viewers... that makes them TOTALLY WORTHLESS.
Oh, and didn't you hear? Just watch any of the biased right-winged videos to get a nice "un-biased" cross-section of interviews of the people there.

I watch Fox News and I never heard those type of descriptions applied to OWS. Have any links to back up your claims? I'll wait....
Really dude?! FOX news vilifies these guys more than anybody. That's their normal operating procedure. Are you new to this planet? Super quick Google search revealed:
Or maybe they're just pissed off that tax payer money and regular bank saving account holders are now guaranteeing $75 TRILLION (!!!) in risky derivates investments made by the a single bank alone (BoA) at Wall Street.
Or maybe it's because the guys at Wall Street only pay a 15% tax on their main source of income (capital gains) which is about as much as someone making no more than $32k.
Or maybe it's because WS is responsible for this economic crisis but never had to fear any repercusions.
But yeah, I'm sure it's all just a "communist-socialist-nazi-progressive-Obamalover" conspiracy...riiiight
