That's pretty clearly put. Most don't understand that through greed and stupidity society has de-evolved. We assume in good faith that progress has taken place which is clearly not the case - slavery is slavery...When America owes trillions to crooks like the commie capitalist people in China..one must think what the American elite put up for collateral? Of course there is no real money involved and what is put up as a guarentee to the loan are the human beings themselves - that sure looks like a modern version of the slave trade.


Now the protestors do not realize that they represent the dis-enfranchised slaves.... the ones that were just a little too non-compliant and maybe a tad brighter than the rest - as a corporate head once said to me.." corporations do not want the exceptional...they want the mediocre that will keep the wheels of the big machine turning - whether the machine enhances the quality of life or destroys it...it does not matter to this stupified and power crazed arrogant elite...who do not realize that if you milk the cows to much and for to long that the cows will perish.

Exactly , paying people not to work. Has to be about the stupidest idea anyone ever came up with.

At the Occupy DC protest on Friday, I witnessed homeless people left and right hanging out to take part in the "freebies." The first sign that the homeless were attracted to this "camp" was when I came out of the Metro (subway)....I noticed a preponderance of homeless folks hanging out at the Metro foyer....which is not altogether that unusual except for the sheer number of these folks. And then when I actually walked inside of the "Occupier's" camp at McPherson Square, I saw even more homeless....and one guy even came up to me and asked "Hey man...do you know where they are giving out stuff?" This was clearly a reference to food as many people were walking buy with paper plates with food. I didn't know where it was coming from, so I couldn't help him.

The bottom line....the OP is absolutely correct. Homeless freeloaders are a large portion of the OWS movement.
