The protests are designed to detract from the Tea Party issues of the lack of justice in:
  1. raising taxes on the strong families who can resist temptation to give more to help with the sequelae of those who have been weakened by the liberal media’s glorification of sex, drugs, and neanderthalic violence, all of which creates MORE dependents
  2. watching the liberal media profit grossly from the destruction of others, then taxing the innocent general populace for the sequelae
  3. raising taxes on the more responsible to pay for the less responsible, while the liberal media increases it’s efforts to place more road blocks in their way
  4. raising taxes on those who can handle their pleasure in order to pay for the sequelae of those who can’t handle their pleasure
5 following the marxist plan where men have become weakened by the liberal media into feelgoodism to the point of running away from responsible fatherhood, then dishing the financial responsibility by doubly taxing married parents, while convincing the trained monkeys to beg for more liberal distractions to true love and family in order to make the problems WORSE

Wrong.

As far as hostility on these forums, it is calling a spade a spade. Look at the charges levied (without actual facts) against the Tea Party for years by so many on the left.

Yep. For example, I haven’t heard anyone on this forum refer to the OWS crowd with any names equivalent to the disgusting term “Teabagger,” which was used frequently and thankfully has subsided.

Unfortunately, this was the term they originally labeled themselves with. That was the original moniker. No?

The Wall Streeters who break the laws should be jailed, not protested against for being good customer service reps by supplying the public with what the public demands. Unless laws are being broken, it is, in essence, partially a protest against good customer service. A quality bottle of laundry detergent never hurt anyone. The same can’t be said for the toxic messages of the liberal media which are oppressing the downtrodden by breaking up families. How ironic.

Why don’t they all just lay down in front of a bus for goodness sake???:rolleyes:

Here’s a concept: I actually WORKED my way through college, for the most part. I did get a small grant for about 18 mos. but other than that, I funded myself through savings and from working while I went to school. No one owes me a darn thing and I wouldn’t want anything handed to me. Those people can find jobs and if they can’t, they can make a job. All the whining I am hearing out of people these days makes me SICK to death! This country has been through harder times than these and people still had the fortitude to do what they could to keep working, being productive, and feeding their families.

What end do you think the revolution is going to have? Do you want “the rich” to have their property taken away and given to those who haven’t worked for it? How has that worked in other countries when it’s been tried?

Wow!!What a concept. I worked my way through school, too. But school didn’t cost what it does today. I still don’t want anyone to lay down in front of a bus. I actually feel like swearing at this point. What is it about the young people in this country that have done everything right and still can’t find a job that irks you so? You are SICK to death? Think about the people that have no hope. Frankly, I’m disgusted by this lack of concern about the young people hoping to enter the work force. I’ve got mine, screw you seems to be the mantra.

It is curious that people want to jail Americans who are demonstrating for a better life, but they applaud when people in Syria or Egypt or China are demonstrating for a better life there.

I’m sorry, I just don’t get your point. Are you saying they Wall streeters should be arrested or given a costumer service award? I don’t get the the sentence before “how ironic” at all.

It’s completely different, In China if you speak out against the government, you get “re-educated” or worse they simply make you disappear. In Syria, Egypt, and other places in the middle east if people don’t like what you say they KILL you. The people in China work for pennies, the people in Egypt and Syria aren’t nearly as developed economically as we are, and yet we have a ton of teenagers and college kids out there who have never had a job voice some incoherent frustrations.

We are so fortunate to live in a country where we are allowed to camp out in a park and live there indefinitely as a form of protest, and people act like they are about to be sent to concentration camps; It’s absurd. We HAVE Freedom, the people in the countries you mentioned have nothing, they can get jailed for even thinking contrary to the will of the state, and yet here we can burn our own flag, or defecated on it (like a protestor did today) without any penal measures from the government. They should thank God for the freedom they have, but we know that is not going to happen, because judging from the views of many of these protestors, they support systems of government (communism) that try to delete God from everything. Who i want jailed are the people who are having sex in public, the people are defecating and urinating on police cars, the people dealing drugs, and inciting hate at these protests, I have seen several anti Semitic tirades recorded on video and its shameful. You would think you were living in Hitler’s germany, people ranting about the Jews. I also can’t stand people waving soviet union flags, while other defecate on american flags. it is outrageous.

The real irony is that these people who are championing the 99% are making the jobs of the sanitation workers, and police officers miserable who compose that very 99% they are championing.

Those people in those countries don’t have as much free will, democracy, deluxe entertainment systems, throw-away fashions, air-brushed nails, drug use, etc. There’s a big difference between wanting the basics and wanting luxuries. The truly funny part is that the billionaires sell the luxuries which the protestors are both buying and protesting against, and the farmers don’t make much. People are such sheep. Keep protesting against quality customer service.

Straw man. People want to jail demonstrators who are breaking the law while exercising their freedom of assembly and speech.

Also, many are leary of the “Arab Spring,” because, while they are overthrowing their dictators, it is not clear that the replacement governments will be much better.

Individuals become successful by supplying the public with goods and services that the public WANTS (customer service). The thriftier of them who can resist temptation will reinvest their profits into growing the business to earn more money. Collections of these individuals are called businesses or corporations. With the exception of favorable laws, they are no different than you wanting to make more money. So let’s create equality in the laws.

The dowtrodden would benefit far more by removing the barriers to their success: i.e. the neandertahlic sex, drugs, and violence in the liberal media which is creating a state of dependents, as planned by the marxists. The way to improve society is by lifting the bottom, not by cutting the top, unless you’re a marxist who dislikes U.S. democracy.

Arabs and Chinese are in many cases breaking existing laws which require a permit to demonstrate or hold a parade. They pepper spray Americans in the USA who want a better life for all of America and put people in jail because they are protesting against the fat cats of wall street who have been destroying our country and demanding trillion dollar taxpayer bailouts for the rich as well as million dollar bonuses. When Americans complain about this, they are pepper sprayed and hauled off to jail in some cases.
