If OWS is against Wall St., they should be attending meetings with their congressmen to enact legislation.

You see Mr. fattrad, one of the things that OWS is protesting is the corrupt legislative process.

Like the signs that express the concern that the 99% can't afford the lobbyists that buy our politicians.

All attempts to address this in the normal, legal process have been given the circus treatment.

Over and over, we see it happening yet are powerless to change it. Powerless, that is, if you don't count civil disobedience.

But I am sure you know this.

"Powerless, that is, if you don't count civil disobedience."

Civil disobedience is the ultimate expression of powerlessness.

"Give it time. You'll have to donate to the Obama campaign in order
to get into Yosemite soon enough."

 As long as republican c#&%s don't sell it to a multinational corporation first... Then we'll be paying the Koch Brothers... Is that better?

"That is about all you need to know about what Jingy and the other Drones think of a large swath of America.

This stupid clown is of the opinion "he" and "his ilk" are the ones "we have been waiting for."

They are the ones who should take care of America ... take care of America ... and all those other c#&%s....

Yeah: "America and all those other cunts"

Who the f*#k would ever want to listen to him? Stay the f*#k out of our lives Jingy poodle.

You hate America. Worse, you hate a large portion of Americans.

Worse, if you don't get your way .... everyone else is a female body part.

Delusional doesn't even begin to describe the Obama drone's desire to help other people.

Real Americans don't want you. Real Americans don't need you. Real Americans don't take help from people who hate them.

Hey, good question Blew - "But who is derelect of their duties, the bankers or the regulators and gov't?"

 What if it was the case that the bankers were doing everything they possibly could "within the law", but it was also ultra-lax regulators who have been bought off directly from the banks they are supposed to regulate writing the laws that are supposed to regulate the banks, hence everybody is well within the law. But the law is so meaningless.

So legally, bankers and Government run poorly can ruin an entire countries economy.

I understand the republican stand that "if its not illegal" its all ok.
I see things a little different and would go way farther than you in correcting the issue. I'm not sure that you even 'see' an issue to be corrected. You have a tendency to not ask these types of questions, which is why it caught my eye... way out of character for you.. you feeling alright? Did you miss your last fattratty pub-repub-boob meeting?


I'm sure this was just an anomaly.

Obama and the Feds took direct control of the banks. Many years ago....

They haven't gotten around to the parks yet.

Give it time. You'll have to donate to the Obama campaign in order

I had wondered just how much one need to have in order to be in the "One Percent" and found some info/graphs here:
http://motherjones.com/politics/2011/02/income-inequality-in-america-chart-graph

1%, would have had

Meanwhile, the top 1% PALES in comparison to the wealth of the top 0.01%....

What's that wording about '"They came for me and nobody was left?"

The top 1% will always exist in some form or other.

There is a day of reckoning coming. A day of judgement. A day of justice.

The rich of this World will want to trade places with the Lazarus's of this World, and they won't be able to. An impassable void will exist between them.

"The Meek shall inherit the Earth." -- Jesus Christ



It is best to choose sides, and then measure up to your Earthly responsibilities and do the right thing now, and always thereafter.




Luke 16:10-31 (KJV)
[10] He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
[11] If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
[12] And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
[13] No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
[14] And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
[15] And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
[16] The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
[17] And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
[18] Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
[19] There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
[20] And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
[21] And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
[22] And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
[23] And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
[24] And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
[25] But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
[26] And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
[27] Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
[28] For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
[29] Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
[30] And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
[31] And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
