Many have, again they are not a political front like the teabaggers were.

Ron Paul and Gary Johnson have both strongly supported the movement, Johnson even protesting with them, and both are running for president. Again the OWS message is fighting the corruption that wall street has caused to america, destroying liberty and freedom, Paul has made a career of fighting against this cronyism.

You're right, the teabagger movement was just to gather sheep to vote for the Koch's hand picked extreme right goons to do their bidding. Once the Koch's got what they wanted with their useful idiots voting these candidates in, they threw these tea party fools in the trash. There hasn't been any kind of tea party protest since that hasn't had laughable turnouts. They are unable to do anything grassroots and by themselves, they need to be told what to do, the complete opposite of OWS.

You shouldn't talk about the teabaggers like that, they prefer "spending quality time with cousin bobbie-lynn-sue-bobbie"

Why can't you discuss the Occupy topic without reference to the Tea Party?

Nothing to talk about?

Leaderless?

Whiners without a clue?

All the occupoopers are takers,....not a giver among them.
Can't handle the truth I see

The first step in winning an argument is understanding your argument.

You do not.

Capital gains is income from investment on money that has already been taxed once.

What gives you the right to place demands on someone's investment income?

Why don't you just start investing? You too could pay lower rates one day (as if you even pay federal taxes).

Nor would the nay-sayers such as here on CD spend some much effort and energy on them.

They are beginning to wake up people as to what is truly going on in this country, people are pissed and now are seeing just why exactly they are pissed.

People whine and cry, where are their candidates......that is what you all/they are missing, the country does not need one more candidate we have enough of those leeches what we need is reform and how politics is run and that is what OWS is about in part.
This is so true. They are afraid.

Occupy is dead.

It may try to rear its ugly head with better weather, but now it is a "non-topic". The MSM isn't playing their game any more. No significant coverage either in print or television.

Only a few on forums like C-D keep wailing and beating their little chests about the 'movement',...but nobody gives a tinkersdamn.

Get back to me when you have something of importance to say about the Occupoopers......

We'll see this spring who comes out. The tea party is 1950's America and soon will be gone. OWS is young and strong and koch brothers money cant stop that.
