AMEN to that! Star and flag for you well put!
Just goes to show how many people ain't "bout it" and really side with the system in the end. ATS is not what you think, it is a social experiment imho. As you can see there is a smear campaign being played out here by corporate/banking sympathizers as well as hired sock puppets. To be perfectly realistic there is going to be a percentage of elitists here as well as sock puppets so it just comes with the territory. In other words, if they are hating you then you are doing something right!
They are FAIL
We are a reality, we have taken to the streets world wide.. they just regurgitate propaganda on web sites

My friend, you seem to be missing my point, and that is that plenty of these so called "99%" are espousing ideological arguments, and I have no issue with this at all. What I take issue with is that others come along and claim there is no ideological campaigns coming out of the movement, but from my point of view, and many, many, others, this could not be further than the truth, and we see, hear and read plenty of ideological mantras and arguments coming from this "movement'.
You know, I would love to stop placing quotation marks around the word "movement' in regards to this "OWS" thing, but as long as so many keep insisting that ideology has nothing to do with, then what shall we call it? Movement, in this context, means A series of actions and events taking place over a period of time and working to foster a principle or policy: a movement toward world peace, or an organized effort by supporters of a common goal: a leader of the labor movement, for example. No matter how you slice it, if this thing is going to be a movement, ideology is going to have to come into play.
What will they be teaching each other. Quite a few have made it clear I have nothing to teach, so I ask you my trusted friend, what is being taught?
The pretense that the protestors are not using their wealth to gain access to governmental favor is most annoying. Frankly, I struggle to make money and pay the bills and each week struggle through several days where I very well may not eat that day, so obviously no one is speaking of me, but while I listen to these claims I see a bunch of people that want government to a bunch of things that amount to business as usual, only, and annoyingly so, more of it.
I stand my ground on this and still do not see anyone declaring that corporatism has to end, only that the collusion between one legal artifice and another has to somehow stop.

I'm sorry but you seem to have lost your credibility.
Doing a little research before you post 'proof' of your point really goes a long way.
For the sake of civility, I'll leave it at that.

Hmmmmm
Posting a "FAKE" pic to justifies the "millions" is beyond straw-man my friend. Thousands? Sure. Thousands with no direction ? You bet. BTW, I dont believe you are ALL hippies drinkin 40's in the streets. I believe there are many pissed off Americans that havnt realized that LACK of direction,will get them nowhere. I do believe 100% that the propaganda you said is taking place,is also done by OWS Sympathizers,as your pic so helpfully illustrated. Stay true.........
