This is a movement of emotion and the people are pissed. We've taken it from the big money influences in our government for too long and now it's come to Jesus time.
And I'm glad as hell that this has pissed you off so much. It only makes us stronger!
We ARE the 99%!
Redwing, you and the rest of the OWS aren't in charge, and you certainly don't control the debate. You don't have any answers, and FFS you don't even know what the questions are....
You just know what you don't like. And what you don't like is that someone else has it
better. Oh, but
"This is a non-violent protest." No, it's nutin' but a dirty party.
By the 99%’s own admission, you (collectively) are mostly comprised of people who can't make it in this system, and you are surprised and appalled by a level of "corruption" that has been in place since the founding. Of course the American economy is unfair. That was the whole purpose of the country in the first place, to be unfair. You already know this, because we all took junior high school civics. Two seconds after Thomas Jefferson wrote
"all men are created equal" he demanded a slave bring him some tea.
The only way you are going to get anything is by being a threat to the establishment. It's nice that OWS recounts on their sites how many protestors have been arrested or pepper-sprayed. But how many bond traders have the protestors put in the hospital? How many M&A deals have you screwed up, blocked, or interfered with? All your side has done is do drugs, bang on drums, sexually assault women and break the glass at Starbucks. You put yourselves at "risk," for what? To get the word out that the system is rigged? WE ALREADY KNEW THAT.
You want me to be the 99%? You want me to protest with OWS? And do what? Fail? ***** and moan? You want me to join you to effect change? No, because you can't change anything. I'd rather join the guys who started the Tea Party and are the 1%. Why? Not because I buy their bull**** any more than yours, but because they are my kind of people. They are the hustlers, not the rubes.
