I am sure there are many different people in the OWS movement, but the message is fairly clear to those who want to listen. Here are their stories.

People become known by the company they keep. The OWS protestors are fast becoming the dregs of society.

You are funny. Do think slaves were marxist when they wanted equality. Were women marxist when they wanted equality. These were not given freely by those that wanted to control them. They had to fight to get equality. That is not maxism. That is the American way. Stop being so anti-american.

Equality is a myth, and no government can give it to you.

Stop hiding your Marxism behind the equal rights movement. You're advocating wealth equality which is anti-American Marxism.
