After all... We are a nation of laws.

Who would enact the laws? The political officials in New York, right? So blame the "1%" and yet again, continue to ignore the spineless politicians who make up the laws.
*sheesh*
And OWS can't figure it out?

It's funny seeing people argue over whether to go after the corporations "or" the government. Reminds me of two groups trying to decide how to slay a dragon. Group A says "go for the heart." Group B says, "no, go for the head." They spend time arguing rather than doing anything (or, worse, start fighting each other over their disagreement rather than slaying the dragon). Meanwhile the dragon grows bigger. Divide and conquer, much?
Really, does anyone doubt that the distinction between corporate malfesience and government perfidery is fading to the point of irrelevance? As Mussolini (one who would know) said, "Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power." That's what we're seeing take shape today.
Why not have the Tea Party people hit government and the OWS people go after the business end? A two-one punch that might actually accomplish something. I guess it's "safer" to argue against your mirror image on the other side of the inane right-left divide than actually take on the real culprits...

Exactly. The OWS will still vote for the (D) at the end of the name....LOL. They must love their misery, because they keep voting for it.
Some 37 percent of people back the protests that have spread from New York to cities across the country and abroad, one of the first snapshots of how the public views the "Occupy Wall Street" movement. A majority of those protest supporters are Democrats,

No offense but if the "99%" truly are 99%, they should be easily able to turn back such an effort. Truth is, they aren't even close to 50%, let alone 99%. They claim to speak for all when the latest poll showed 37% of the public supports them.

And that...... is why only 17% strongly support , 20% moderately support and 56% are not supporters. You keep fighting everyone and not trying to change things Constitutionally.

You must have missed that I mentioned that the poll is likely rigged by the 1% to show those low numbers.
Solving things "Constitutionally" ,means using the 2nd Amendment.
