Yeah, let me read all 1400 comments for the list of demands that were already discredited and that you only want to continue harping on because it makes the protesters look like a bunch of people waiting for handouts.
If OWS were serious about what you 'claim' their purpose is, they'd realize that corrupt politicians are the problem. Wall Street, etc., is effectively neutered without the corrupt politicians.
The protest belongs in D.C., on Capitol Hill, and at the White House. Wall Street, etc., would have NO influence whatsoever if Obama, Geithner, Dodd, Frank, etc., and their corrupt band of politicians would just say no to being bought.

Yep, this argument has become circular. You ignore my comments on lobbying and campaign finance reform, and you continue to pretend that Obama, Geithner, Dodd, and Frank, are the only individuals in the conversation. The Republicans are as bad, if not worse, and it is not as simple as "saying no". We're saying the same things over and over again, and I realize you'll never agree with me (lmao at believing that Wall Street will ever have "no influence" without fundamental campaign finance reform and lobbying reform, at least), so we're done here.
lol at you not even realizing that they're protesting in D.C. You scramble to rebut my comments, but you don't even know what's going on. Talking to you is a profound waste of time.

Um... NO.
Not. Even. Close.
Guess, I'll have to remind you...

I'm old. I grew up in an era when the free enterprise system was open to everyone. Anyone could open-up a store or restaurant or business in their hometown and do well...This was before the big corporations took over and opened-up outlets in every city across the country...The "name brand outlets" put "mom and pop" stores and cafes out of business...And today our pensions and retirement funds are tied to corporations through our 401k's and the stock market. This wasn't always the case... It's hard to "make a go of it" as a small business owner today and compete against the big corporations who "own" our hometowns.
