So I have been following up on this true grass roots movement the past week and it makes me very proud to see ordinary salt of the earth people stand up and say they have had enough and will be heard .
Unlike the tea party that has billionaires funding and spreading they're message . These people by the thousands are flooding financial districts in large cities all over america .
Some people seem upset by these peaceful marchers and i can see why . Pure and simple the elite are frightened of the power that is we the people . After decades of blinding us with materialism television and religion in order to keep us from rising up . The people have woken from they're slumber and have seen that one % of the population holds all the power from money jobs and political capital .
The occupy wall-street movement is not slowing down but instead getting larger . They have even been talking about staying during the winter .
The media has stated they will not cover this grass roots event because there is no violence or so-called real message . Their message is pretty simple to me they are the people and they want they're voices back from corporate scum that has lobbied the supreme court to the point where money = power in Washington .
So do you support this real grass roots movement ? Or do you hate your own kind .
With thousands of protestors this past week on Wall St., a virtual media balckout is occurring. TV news is absent, newspapers are absent, only Twitter and Facebook posts are telling the story with a few outlets like MSNBC and Huffington carrying stories. The police say the macing was warranted, let the video help you decide.
The BS you heard from Mayor Bloomberg was they were blocking people from walking, not true on the sidewalk, not true being cordoned off.

What drugs was the founder of this movement on when he started this fiasco? (How about getting "high on life", getting an education and start living one, and stop whining!?!!)
I was born poor. I started workking on a local farm at the age of 8 as well as umpireing, cutting neighbors lawns (the elderly and the church for free), and any other jobs around the neighborhood I could to help out my family. I worked all through igh school. After High School, I got a job as a bank teller. It was entry level, paiid $12 per hour, and worked around my night college schedule. I worked hard and was a branch manager maing $55,000 per year before I even graduated with my BS. I was working 50 to 60 hours a week, and going to school full time. M-F I left for work at 7:00, and did not get out of class until 10:00. Then I had to study. When I got my BS, I took a pay cut to go into commercial underwriting. I went back to school to get my masters in finance and economics full time. I am now 31 and a commercial lending manager. I do quite well for my family. I did what ANY OTHER PERSON COULD DO.
I am the 53% that you are vilifying because you are too lazy to do what I did and somehow feel entitled to what I have worked so hard for. I am blessed and able to give 15% of what I make to charities of my choice. I choose charities that expect accountability and are designed around helping people that are working to better themselves such as mothers going to college, or a ...

These charities are far more effective than the government and do not allow the simply lazy to steal from others like the government. I sit on the board of two local charities as well.
I AM THE 53% THAT YOU LAZY 99ERS VILIFY.
GO GET A JOB YOU LAZY SPOILED BUMS AND STOP STEALING FROM ME AND MY FAMILY.
LOL no one wants your petty cash . When people talk about the rich we are not talking about slightly upper middle class as yourself .
Also please get over your self I am a floor manager at the head office of the second largest Insurance company in north america . I do not need your chump change .
I make enough that I do not worry about paying more tax then my fellow working man . I get to live in a free country . If you think your paying high tax come live in Canada with me you pathetic greedy egotistical nobody .
Nonsense, theya re demanding entitlements from every worker and burrying my children in debt. Attackigng the job creators is an attack on everyone that works.
As far as egotistical, I can't think of much more egotistical than thinking that you are somehow entitlement to other people's private property. That is about as greedy and egotistical as it gets.
I own my property and no one wants what you have . The want what we all want lobbyist out of government and more regulation on the criminal bankers like yourself spending tax payers bailout money on ceo's instead of giving loans and charging insane interest rates .
You keep kissing up to the 1% that you wish you were part of even though your not .
I am all for reduceing political corruption and cronyism.
The bank I work for did not take any bail outs.
I was actually not for the bank bail outs, but at least the banks paid back TARP with interest and the government made money off of it. they estimate that it will make a $24 Billion profit by the time the program is complete, but as of only 04/01/2011, it had not only broken even, but earned a $1 Billion profit
.
When are the entitlement junkies going to pay us back or at least get jobs and stop living off our backs? The more entitlements we pay, the more entitlement junkies we get. It is not working, and if you look at the protestors, you can clearly see that they do not appreciate what normal Americans work their tails off and take from their families to give to them. So let’s play adult and kick the spoiled little brats out to take responsibility for themselves for once. Clearly they will not do it as long as we are paying them. Why aren't the occupy Wall Street political hacks protesting them? Individual abuse and hand outs are no better than corporate abuse and hand outs. Instead of the horrible argument that one bad spending policy justifies the other, we simply get rid of both?
2. The unions got bailed out and we lost billions - why aren't we protesting the...

2. The unions got bailed out and we lost billions - why aren't we protesting them. TARP bailed out the auto workers, and the first stimulus pretty much all went to the teachers unions, firefighters unions, police unions, construction unions, public sector unions, and that is about it. It is not a coincidence that it is these same union cronies that Obama is gearing his second failed stimulus towards. Why aren't the occupy Wall Street political hacks protesting that cronyism?
3. Nancy Pelosi's brother company, SolarReserve LLC, a closely held renewable energy developer, received a $737 million U.S. Energy Department loan guarantee to build a solar-thermal project in Nevada. Why aren't the occupy Wall Street political hacks protesting that cronyism?
4. Obama's billionaire donor Kaiser got a $535 million loan guarantee for Solyndra. Incidentally, Solyndra’s backers include George Kaiser, a donor and bundler for Obama, Why aren't the occupy Wall Street political hacks protesting that cronyism?
5. Mr Soros, another Obama billionaire got a $2 Billion preferred loan for his freaking Brazilian oil company at the same time Obama was bashing the American oil companies, why aren't the occupy wall street political hacks protesting that crony capitalism?
6. Democrat Congressmen Russ Carnahan's brother, Tom Carnahan, got a $107 Million loan for his wind farm business, Why aren't the occupy Wall Street political hacks protesting that cronyism?
7. Warren Buffett got a $600 Million preferred loan from the Obama administration, why aren't the occupy Wall Street political hacks protesting that crony capitalism?
8. Both Soros and Buffett got special exemptions in Obama’s financial reform bill. George Soros and Warren Buffett are the financial hedge fund short-selling operators who make money by betting on company collapse, economic calamities and catastrophes. Why aren't the occupy Wall Street political hacks protesting that cronyism?
9. Obama as a community organizer, ACORN, and Bill Clinton under CRA, and Fannie and Freddie attacked the banks and forced them to lower their underwriting standards, Why aren't the occupy Wall Street political hacks protesting them?
The FACT is that the bigger the government the more corruption and the more crony capitalism. The reason that the wall street protestors are not protesting any of the above catastrophes is because they are political hacks and that is all there is to it.
Overall, you are pretty clueless aren't you.
Rates are the lowest they have been. There is no demand for loans right now.
i do not kiss up to anyone. I am just tired of the ungreatful entitlement junkies.
He, they pay us very well to attend Tea Party rallies. Why do you think your health insurance and bank fees are going up? They need more of your money to pay hired protestors like me.

Utter nonsense, Obama is not going to declare martial law because of some protest and when did he silence anyone?
This reminds me of the Tea Party nuts saying that Obama will declare martial law before the election so he can stay in power as ignorant as that sounds.
I understand that, I only mentioned the Tea Party because they're rabid supporters are often saying that Obama will have to declare martial law to maintain power. I liked John Stewart's comments about how the Wall St. protesters reminded him of people at a Bonnarro concert. Quite the contrast to the old bluehairs wearing teabags from their three cornered hats at the Tea Party protests..
You might well be right about the protests spreading, heck they're even branching out to other cities now., they're in front of the Chase bank main office where I live. I'm just not convinced that there will be any riots let alone the need for martial law. Sorry if I came across as a dick, I guess i'm a just a little tired of hearing people say that Obama will impose martial law, my ire was misdirected because I actually support the Wall St. protesters.
I think there are people there with an informed gripe, I think there are people there that are just there to be there. And, those with out a mission will cause the upheaval. I truly fear the worst is yet to come. I too will watch and not hide. Declaring martial law would take away the threat of having to answer for many many wrongs he is facing.
This is a anti wall street protest not a anti Obama protest . I know that some members of the tea party have shown up to support the protesters . I am sure they are welcome but this protest is about one thing only and that is taking the power back from corporatism has nothing to do with political parties be it republican or democrat .
Of course I'm part of the 49% that actually pays income tax.
I am the 53% that you are vilifying because you are too lazy to do what I did and somehow feel entitled to what I have worked so hard for.
