Remember Occupy Wall Street

[El Kabong]

No. What I'm saying is that there are vast numbers of people out there -- 99% of the country in fact -- who have far more in common with Occupy than they do with the people running the country. Increasingly over the next decade or three an Occupy-like movement will attract broad national support and it'll be impossible to pigeonhole them as a bunch of trustafarians or workshy people or whatever.

Kirkland, 99% was a catchphrase, a slogan. I'm not in the 1%, not close, BUT I'd like to work to get closer to where they are rather than hang out on Wall Street camping with a bunch of smelly hippies bitching and moaning and waiting for someone to just come along and ask nicely that all the rich people ante up and spread their wealth around. NO, I have very little in common with the OWS fools.

You're fooling nobody. You spend all day every day on the internet. You're a neo-Confederate manchild ranting away in his mother's basement.

Don't get your feelings hurt pumpkin.

I'm online because I can afford to be, it's one of the perks of my job. I don't beg for the government to take from others so that I might be better off which is 100% of what OWS was about. Take from the rich and redistribute. If we actually did that and made that policy then why work at all? If someone is just going to turn around and give you a hand out for complaining. And don't act like that wasn't what they were doing, that's EXACTLY what they were doing.

You don't do any work. You spend all day every day on the internet fannying about and watching videos.

People all worked in the fifties and sixties right? Back then there was a far more equitable distribution of income than there is now. We need to get back to that or the economy will never properly recover.

Awww poor Kirkland, no need to worry about me little man, I'm ok


Yes, people USED to provide goods and services and not expect something for nothing. If these kids today have a problem with "the system" then they should not participate in it and yeah that WOULD be difficult but I'd respect that rather than a bunch of idiots saying "Pay for my school, pay my loans, pay for my birth control, pay for my rent, pay me to go to school"....OWS was just a bunch of spoiled brats throwing a hissy fit. The movement faded....and why dear Kirkland? Why is the movement not around anymore? Have things been fixed? Or were they just there to rally people AGAINST big business and more importantly Mitt Romney?

The disparity between the wealthy and the poor is WORSE under your buddy Obama than it ever was under W and yet we have no more Occupy.....why Kirkland? Is the job of those useful idiots done?

They'd still be demonstrating if the camps hadn't been forcibly removed.. And Occupy and/or its descendents will eventually become a popular mass movement as whoever is in the White House in the next decade or so will continue the exact same policies that keep increasing inequality.

[El Kabong]

So basically OWS was a bunch of people saying "We don't want to pay for what we use anymore"? Does that about sum it up then?

Income disparity and we don't want to pay for anything again because we've been beaten by "the system" and we're sore losers....that it Comrade?

That is really such a great thing to do. Brilliant; the debt being bought for a fiftieth of its so called value. These people who couldnt afford their own medical insurance needed this break. Inequality over basic needs in the US is wrong; it should be a human right.

Lyle dont you think that is very different than what you are standing up for; (The rich protecting the ground they have worked for.)
