LOL! The poor in our country have cable and game consoles.. I know they have a fridge and a working stove. Those who don't can't afford fast food either!

I don't know if I do or not. I haven't studied them enough to make an opinion. My job's been keeping me busy lately.

Entitled? You are all entitled to actually work for what you want. There's no free lunch.
There are no free rides. Anything you get for free has to be paid for by the rest of us.
"The I don't care as long as I get mine, we got it made now cuz Obama's in the Whitehouse,
Obama's gonna pay all my bills cuz we's gots us a brother in the Whitehouse" bull sheet needs to
stop. You are all entitled to get your lazy butts off the dang couch and get a job to support your dang self!
There's only one group of people in this country that are entitled to anything. That's the US military veterans.
They earned their entitlements. Many paid with their lives. Y'all need to get a job, get a life and get a clue.
Hank is right! Obama is the enemy! 2012 Error Correction!
W....T....F...?.....LMAO....do you by any chance happen to own an old rusty El Camino with no exhaust and live just down the road from me??? If so,please stop and pick your Bud bottles and Skoal cans up out of my yard where you keep throwing them...thank you in advance

BTW...I'll put my dogs up so you'll be safe.

hell, it looks like the Russian Revolution of 1917 where the have nots were taking it out on the haves, wanting an end to the current political and financial system in favor of a more equal system.
I'm glad someone can see some direction in these mobs. What I see is a bunch of immature hooligans milling around and waiting for someone to tell them what to do. As more and more socialistic and liberal leaders join the forces, there will undoubtedly be violence and destruction. However, until these mobs start burning cars, breaking glass and working with Obama to delay elections, I'd rather be watching the Speed Channel.

It is the American Autumn. People are sick and tired of being sick and tired of corruption; corruption in politics, banking, corporations and beyond.
Ironic really how this movement became so big once colleges and universities were back in session...

Once football season really kicks into high gear maybe the kids will quiet down.

There will always be differences and special interests, what all need to do is find common ground to protest for ethics and realize and concede that neither side can claim to be perfect.

A lot of the problems that are happening now is because of the democratic party and the progressive liberal policies, if the wall street protesters are just going to point fingers at wall street then they are too partisan to bring real change. Leave the ego at home, listen and reason. The same goes for the other side.

The only good thing about free higher education is that all those communist professors
at Harvard and so forth are going to become as poor as their counterparts in Russia.
