Wrong. Corruptable polluticians have corrupted our government.

These OWS individuals have demonstrated a contempt and hatred for the capitalistic ideals that offer the greatest amount of freedom to the greatest amount of people.

the ppl have lost sense of value just open your eyes they are all being hung out to dry by almost every facet of society i credit the alpha of the OWS movement for seeing it BUT lately its turned to gimme hippes. LOSERS

Yes, it is long past due. If you take a look at financial laws. They are tilted to the Corporation or bank. Example: Home Mortgage loans you borrow $100,000. You pay back approx $300,000 and the interest is paid first... not the princple, thusly prolonging the loan so the we pay more.. tell how that is right?

Occupy Wall Street, is just bringing to the for front many of the financial, disciplinary and regulatory rules and laws. That by there very nature tilt the ways in which we live (money), giving the rich and corporations the advantage.

However they are unorganized and need a clear plan.

There's many things wrong with our country and I want to help fix them. First, we need to get people awake and aware, then we can begin working it all out.

The fact that there is no clear plan and no leader is the greatest strength of the Occupy Movement. Everyone in the 99% can find something in the issues that they are concerned about. Maybe its the Fed, or the income tax, or environmental pollution, or the nanny state, or the wars including the war on drugs, or the erosion of liberty, or inflation, or the hugely unequal distribution of wealth or whatever.... The mess we are in is very complicated--it is supposed to be--intended to make changing the status quo difficult at best.

Government HUD allowed non qualifying persons to purchase real estate and allowed over inflated values on real estate. People don't have to borrow if they don't agree to terms. Save money, pay cash, or continue renting. I take full responsibility for my choices, that's part of freedom.

US Spends 59% of Budget on Defense

And all you do is bitch about poor people?

My allegiance lies with the American people. Apparently your allegiance lies with your War profiteering masters.

Who pays you for selling out your friends and family?

POWER TO THE PEOPLE

The poster immediately above is mad because he lost his job tending the french fries at Burger King. He cornered a mentally handicapped co-worker in a walk-in refrigerator and raped her.

I Find Their Cause To Be Just And Their Protest Moving And Harmless

It Saddens Me That Others Do Not Agree

The movement is one of the greatest movements today. I'm a parent of 3, what kind of finacial life are my children going to have. What value or worth do we have to the government other than money.
