"Thousands of people in NY and in hundreds of cities across the US are protesting the conflict of interest between big business and the government. They want an end to lobbyists from big pharma, big agriculture, the military industry, big oil, and big banking lining the pockets of politicians and influencing legislation and regulation. They are also protesting dangerous loaning practices to home buyers and students in a recession. Which has left thousands of former homeowners foreclosed on and thousands of students, unable to find jobs in their education fields (due to economic depression and lack of jobs), fighting for minimum wage jobs to pay off massive, high interest, student loan debts."

When they say, "We want a global/socialist one-world economy along with a totalitarian regime and we want to rescue baby kittens."
Do you have any statements from any Occupier/Supporter to show we are saying these things? Or that we are employing "baby kitten defense"? lol
Actually there are threads on ATS where they have stated those exact things.
Ending capitalism.
A one-world rule.
The baby kittens part is all me.

Not getting it gets you no where.
The goal is to end the conflict of interest between government and big business.
It is not to get rid of the 1%. It is to get rid of some of their power and their influence in our government.
To level the playing field. They can have their riches, they just shouldn't be able to use it with lobbyists to control us and our government.
Does that make sense to you?

because the chamber of commerce is the source of the problem. Have you ever heard the phrase "follow the money," Beezzer? What, do you think it really says "Follow the money and stop when it reaches a politician of the party I really dislike and pretend it goes no further"?
Again, I've explained this to you multiple times. Go after the source of the corruption, not the symptom.edit on 31/10/2011 by TheWalkingFox because: (no reason given)

Sounds like they are working just like politicians and government then. They do the same thing. They are speaking their language and now trying to be heard.
We need change because this really is not working anymore. REAL change..... not Obama's definition.
Cute Kittens get my vote every time!

And I thank you for your reply.
Again, what you're showing me are cute baby kittens. Absolutely wonderful. I love baby kittens, I support baby kittens. I am all for baby kittens.
If it were just baby kittens (or ending corruption) then I'd be a proponent. I'm active in the Tea Party rallys. Our get-togethers.
Great.
But I have yet to be convinced that it all just "baby kittens".
I appreciate your insight, though.
cheers

Is that how Occupy functions work?
Hmm.
I realize masturbation is fun but I prefer to do mine solo.
