You watch too much MSM, I can tell. I take it you haven't seen the videos of the more intelligent protesters, but just the ones dancing around or going on an anti-jew rant?
That's a very ignorant thing to say, people protesting are retarded. Really dude, think about how outrageously stupid such a massive generalization sounds.
These aren't anarchist protests, they just want to audit the Fed and put an end to the corruption in our political system.
Admin note: This is not an official list of demands. This is a forum post submitted by a single user and hyped by irresponsible news/commentary agencies like Fox News and Mises.org. This content was not published by the OccupyWallSt.org collective, nor was it ever proposed or agreed to on a consensus basis with the NYC General Assembly. There is NO official list of demands.
I disagree entirely.
Unlike the Tea Party they know who really makes the decisions and sets policy. They understand that it doesn't matter who you vote for because, at the end of the day the winner is decided by who spent the most during their campaign to the tune of 96% of the time the campaign that spent the most money wins and those backers expect results favorable to them. Corporate influence is a weed it must be pulled out at the root, continuing to think that you can just simply vote the corruption out is a flawed idea, because from day one of a campaign they are beholden to a special interest.

The French Revolution was the one founded by mobs. It wasn't really the fault of the mobs, the leadership was out of touch and the system was elitist, kind of like our government today. Marie Antoinette and Michelle Obama have some eerie similarities.
As crazy as Coulter might look, she is right. The American Revolution was very organized for a revolution. The American Revolution was led by wealthy landowners wanting to be free of British taxation and oppression.edit on 7-10-2011 by Vikus because: (no reason given)

This is ignorance at its finest.
"The only way to get rid of corporate influence is to use the government to take over business!"
Not what I said nor insinuated. Your reading comprehension is terrible. I will clarify what it is I said because clearly you did not understand.
You are correct that the two need to be separated, but giving that power to the States will not and cannot work. It will only result in corporate interests playing the State governments against each other. This plays completely and totally against the idea of a unified nation. The first thing that must be done is removing the private money being funneled into political campaigns.
With the Citizens United ruling the only way that may be accomplished is to amend the Constitution, because now money is considered speech. This is what I advocate, not some grand scheme for the Government to take over business.
