Good to hear. We're facing economic ruin. Regardless of which side of the issue your on, we have to do SOMETHING about our current economic system.
What do you feel needs to be done to fix the economy Roysoldboy?
That is a big question and I don't want to pretend there are silver bullets, but LENR and similar tech is real and isn't being funded properly. I do believe it is big enough to create quite a boom.
Other than that we need to address CAFRs, investigate investments and these offshore accts. Follow the money, in other words and bring the corruption and dishonesty out to the light of day.
Too many individuals in govt and wall street are benefiting off of practices that DONOT benefit citizens.
Great question, but good luck getting a response,...
You have joined in with the attempt to steal the thread that worked very well so far and that was a given but then when you can't talk about the thread topic you show yourself so completely. Get back on the topic or go steal someone else's thread. At least you can divert attention.

Wealth doesn't evaporate, it goes somewhere.
Now that you have sided in with the deflectors lets get back to the topic of the thread, SEIU paying for offices for Occupy DC. I know it isn't nearly as exciting as the post you answered but it is there, anyway.
Maybe we could look at the fact that Obama came out a bit too soon in support of the Occupy movement. SEIU has handed him a pile of money to campaign with in now two elections on the national scale. ?As mentioned in the OP link, Andy Stern, the former president of the SEIU, was in the White House pretty near 25 times to see Obama in his first year in office. I could go on and on but once you start connecting dots I think anyone could go from there.
It seems that the SEIU is paying rent on three offices for the Occupy crowd for a total of 6 months. How long was it that we have to wait till the election? Yep, it is 6 months. While it is a drop in the bucket concerning what SEIU has given to Obama before it seems that the $4000 per month will be like giving money to The One.
It will be 6 months before the election.
We just can't afford to have those people out on the streets to do their planning and training, can we?
No. Somebody had to fund offices for those people.

There ya go. Answers to your rhetorical questions.
Now please do tell, how is debating the whole premise of Occupy not related to the original post?

I don't feel I am siding with anyone. I do feel the economy is directly related to the Occupy movement. In fact, I would say the economy is related to all the major issues we are facing, atm. Soros was brought up, you don't think his relationships are important and people like him?
The through line of who is profiting is also important and those relationships to govt. If you look I posted info directly related to SEIU also.
I don't buy into the whole left vs right thing either. I consider it a big distraction.
Too many people on these forums act too much like the Hattfields and McCoys imo. Not how I approach information or interactions.

How about Andy Stern who said while still the head man of SEIU that if you can't get what you want any other way the answer is force? You would have known a little about him and this topic if you had read the link. Why do I supply those things, I wonder.
There ya go. Answers to your rhetorical questions.

The thread is about a major labor union, a very vocal supporter of Obama, co-opting a supposedly apolitical group of protesters, the Occupiers. It certainly appears that SEIU is buying the Occupy movement to benefit Obama's reelection.
And,,,"yes" I read the article that denies that premises. Deny all they want, the Occupiers are the property of SEIU in Washington.
The Occupy "premise" has been compromised either in reality or in appearance.
