In my line of work, I deal with this "occupy wall street" people every day, yes, literally, I am standing at Zuccati Park where they are camped every single day.

I've spoken to at least 3 dozen of them, and every single one of them I always ask one question: "what are YOU protesting?"

The good majority of them have no idea what the hell they are doing their. They don't know what they stand for or why they do what they do. All they know is that their friends friend told them about it and they showed up.

So yea.........give me a break. The PROTESTERS don't even know what they are protesting, how is someone else supposed to back their cause!?

An epic waste of time for a bunch of losers without jobs. Best thing about it is, they are putting MONEY in my pocket, so keep it up guys!!!!

What exactly did they say when you asked them? I'm sure all 3 had a very similar reason for being there. There is no ONE solution to the problem.

I am happy for these protests and I support them 100%.

I hope they spread all over the U.S, it's about damn time the American people realized they were being screwed over.

You don't like the way this country is running, YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, and that's what they're doing, hopefully.

We are already taxed to death why raise it any higher?

My solution take away every tax deduction known. Corporate, personal, everything.

The only person at fault is not a president or a single individual it's all of us. But people are too blind to see that. Why should we tax someone more because they busted their ass to get where they are today? Why do they owe America more money to "fix" something we got ourselves in to in the first place. To me that's just not right. They have paid their dues why should they pay someone elses? I don't own a business, but if I did you better believe I'm going to freeze hiring if my business taxes are going to rise. At least until I know I can make ends meet which includes the employees I have right now.

To often people look for an easy way out and it's quite pathetic really. Bailouts are dumb so are stimulus packages and repackaged stimulus packages called "job creations."

People need to stop asking for handouts and take care of their own business. If a company fails then it fails. Obviously they did something wrong and need to reinvent their product.

like aerosmith says eat the rich, theres only one thing there very good for.

and now is not the time for starting up any new company for sure.

Sounds more like you and the rest of the "protesters" need to to protest the government. Seeing as how it was Both Bush and Obama who were for it. Our better yet protest the democrats who voted in favor of the bailout. Seeing how Democrats ran both houses when that mess was going on.

Very interesting sounds like a guy I could listen to. I'll have to do some google searching.

Thanks for your views, If you don't like it, you don't have to read it, because clearly the media isn't covering it.


On that subject, The Mubarak protests got more coverage, I wonder why...

To be honest I'm surprised this site allows political related threads, they always just turn into a flame war. Anyways imo, one way to help our economy and pay down gov't debt would be to raise import tariffs, and lower export tariffs, which imo would encourage production in this country, not saying it's a single cure all, but I think it would be one of many things that would help.

Ron Paul 2012!!!

Am I doing this right?

aerosmith IS THE RICH. Wakeup.

you so are so wrong china is using up all of the resources they can get their hands on, they are in the middle of their industrial revolution and will buy every last drop of oil or coal up by the ton, they have lots of money now, and further more they have no control on emissions, so they are fvcking up the world as we speak! read up sonny boy.
