I think its telling that no one can tell me what these folks want. I tend to think they are unemployed folks who really have nothing better to do. They clearly are misguided. Protest Washington, not Wall Street.

Why is it just thousands of things that they want why not millions of things?

Well, let them go out and WORK and EARN those things that other people have that they want so much.

These punk anarchists and the liberal/dem groups, politicians that have hitched their wagon to this "movement" aren't entitled to other people's money...just because they want it.

"They must succeed?" Why? and how? when they don't even have clear objectives so one of their Organizers told Al Sharpton very recently.

Oh, I am confident that the progressive, UnAmerican, capitalist-hating lefties feel that they must succeed---in causing maximum chaos before Obama loses the election a year from now. Rahm-baby Emanuel, I believe said that they never waste an emergency and right now the losers "need" one.

If only this wall street goofiness will turn into some looting and burning event, then BO can rush in as Big Mama and "save the day" which of course means clamping down on freedoms and declaring an emergency.

Community Organizers are whipping this all into a frenzy, apparently.
ACORN nutters and lemme guess....some Americorps folks involved?

Misguided from their prospective but very guided from the organizers prospective. The organizers are the big progressive liberal groups like Move-on.org, Acorn, Code pink and many others as well as the big liberal backed unions and well known radical progressive liberal politicians and donors like George Soros. What they all want is to crush capitalism and install socialism.

hahahahaha all a bunch of sissies that can't make it on thier own. See they all want to be seen as a community organizer, its the cool thing nowadays.

How many of these losers have had a job for 6 months or more.


GregW please move to Cuba you might be happier. Americans do not want Cuba here. I am against big corps also. Big corpes like expensive regulations that keeps the little business man from competing with them.


This all goes back to the dirty Government. I bet Ron Paul has never snuck anything into a bill like Dick Durbin did with the bank fees. I bet Rand Paul is against the gov telling the American people what kind of lightbulb they can use. See how it works Gov makes regulations and people that made regular lightbulbs all lost thier jobs that helped feed thier family.

See how it works. Yet people thought Obama was different.......hahahahahaha fools.

There is some of that, but i don't think this revolt can be narrowed down to one quest or subject.

One thing is true beyond... and that is the game is stacked against the 99%.

Anyone with vision can surely see that there are powers that hurt a lot of people and serve a few well positioned and ill intentioned people.

Greed kills.

There is blood on the hands of the Oligarch's and it's their judgement day.
