    THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND IT AS THEY HAVE MOST LIKELY NEVER BEEN EMPLOYED IN A CAREER.

    what a bunch of turds ! they want socialism now they got it. corporations are not hiring because of government control and out-of-control regulations. we are moving away from capitalism. the economy has been so bad for so long. it has never been this bad. gas prices and other prices are rising. the more government control we have the worse things will get. these people are getting their way and now they are complaining !

    they have no solution. when they term "exploitation" they mean they don't want to work. in capitalism you can work harder and smarter and make a good living for themselves. apparently they want things handed to them ! socialism/marxism/communism is all crap. only the elite have the money. they don't know what they are talking about.

    a bunch of whining cry babies. I converse with these people regularly and ask them why don't they want to start their own businesses. they tell me they don't want to become part of the evil system or beg the bank for money. they have to do something for a living ! Lazy and no intiiative !

    When you think someone should give you everything and you've never worked for it, it's hard to explain capitalism. In fact it's hard for most of them to explain anything other than "Gimmee", "I Want", and "You Owe Me".

    They are complete idiots. The Left uses them as political pawns and they are too stupid to catch on to how they are being manipulated. Thank God they are the TRUE 1%. If 99% of the country actually thought and acted like these fools, we would be truly doomed.

    one in Typical. Unfortunately, there are too many people like these morons - they don't know anything about what they are protesting. They protest just to protest and to get attention. These idiots would protest about winning one million dollars in the lottery.

    That's an insult to the vision-impared everywhere. The Occupy morons are worse than blind;they ahve no capacity for THOUGHT. They do whatever Obama, Pelosi, and the decadent Hollywood celebs tell them to do.

    The video was just pathetic. They are so brain-dead that they don't even realize how idiotic they sound standing there trying to explain what they cannot comprehend.

    cap·i·tal·ism [ káppit'l ìzzəm ]
    .free-market system: an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and distribution of goods, characterized by a free competitive market and motivation by profit
    hypercapitalism (uncountable)
    1.Extreme capitalism at the expense of traditional values.

    Actually the guy with the dreads is right Obama care is Hyper-capitalism, where the government is forcing us to buy a private owned businesses product, ignoring the citizens free will to benefit private business.

    fas·cism [ fá shìzzəm ] dictatorial movement: any movement, ideology, or attitude that favors dictatorial government, centralized control of private enterprise, repression of all opposition, and extreme nationalism

    Facism siezes control of the institutions Obamacare will have little control over the healthcare companies, aiding them to reap huge profits with little to no government control, considering Obama care was written with 2 healthcare and big pharma lobbyist sitting at the table they had control over what the government was doing.

    Facism government controls the companies-/ Hyper-capitalism companies control the government.

    That is the same thing. The ownership is not important is the outcome of this merging.

    I think it is a big difference.
    With Facism the rich such as Goldman Sachs, Citibank, Microsoft would cease to exist in this country and would be taken over and run by the government. Originally at least for the good of the people. Generally a bad idea as government companies are more burdened with red tape.

    With Hyper-capitalism companies would decide the policies of the government with political and economic pressures and would work to insure thier profits over the will/ needs of the people.

    Authoritarianism, which is what the democrats strive for, would mean although the companies would remain private thir policies and procedures would be strictly regulated by the government, for the good of the party. While the people are placated with a few dollars shaved off the companies profits. Certain businesses are selected to thrive and others to fail by the party.

    One question he didn't ask, they were all wearing clothing, and I assume shoes, soooo just where did they get those items? Did they get them free? Did they steal them? Did they make them? Or did they BUY them from a store? Profit isn't bad or evil, take away profit and NO ONE will want to produce the things we all need and want, if THEY want to give everything away, then THEY should start a business, hire everyone, pay them outrageous paychecks, give them mega benefits, and give away what they produce, lets see how long they stay in business.

    If I carve a bear out of a tree and sell it for a profit, I have capitalized on the tree. If I negotiate with a person and they work to help me carve the bear and I pay them the payment we agreed on, that is capitalism. Plain and simple, morons.
