Nobody want's handouts. that's yet another lie meant for the weak minded.

We want what's already ours. It's already ours.

The US HUD Office of Fair Housing & Equal Opportunity has in its core charter to create regulations and enforce laws targeted at preventing discrimination against people-of-color in the housing marketplace, against low-income people in the housing marketplace, and against Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual & Transgender individuals in the housing marketplace (Roberta Achtenberg achieved some level of public notariety being the first openly lesbian woman nominated & confirmed by the US Senate to HUD)

Funny how you keep trying to paint me into a corner and it just doesn't work.

There is a difference between preventing discrimination rather than requiring banks to loan to people of color.
What difference is it if she is lesbian?
You seem to do a good job of painting yourself into a corner.

The corporation in itself is not the problem. I am one of the firm believers in capitalism. Its what made this country great.

The problem is the way capitalism is being abused, both by CEOs and the government. When a corporation has to pay ZERO taxes, nets million of dollars in profits, gives the CEOs and board members millions of dollars in bonuses, yet "can't afford" to give it employees sick leave, or vacation time, or health insurance.

Then the government bails out the failing business'. That's NOT capitalism. "To big to fail" is the exact opposite of capitalism....

When all you can grasp onto for an argument against the movement is "dirty, drug using hippies", I don't believe you've taken the time to fully understand what is going on...

And while nobody speaks for the OWS movement -- it's seems to me that it's all about getting businesses and Forbes 400 list people t'hell out of the election process.

If not for the tankers full of money being shoveled Washington's way, we have a pretty-good track record of "letting the best ideas win."

The OWS anger is misplaced. It is corrupt politicians who created this mess not CEOs.
