If the movement is alive and well, why haven't we read about the OWS movement?

There are articles out there. But as always you won't read about it in large volume in lsm because they are owned by those OWS is against.

Do you understand that what you read and have access to in large part is controlled by those who own the media in this country?

You have not heard much on the NDAA in the lsm but it is very much in progression, you do know about this right?

Get the picture?

The picture I get is that the whacko people spelled doom for the movement.

Trust us kitty... if the "movement" was doing anything whatsoever, we would be hearing about it. It's time for the losers to go home to mom and dad's basement and go back to playing video games.

If the movement was doing nothing then the bankers would not be crying out "stop picking on us"....

You see people don't put this type of money and effort into something is over with and ineffective...

Further, when one can no longer (or not at all) debate facts the name calling starts.

The whole idea of the 99% is ridiculous. Most people woke up and smelled the coffee. The people protesting and camping out were not representative of the disadvantaged.

Like the official OWS rap sheet?

» *UPDATED* #OccupyWallStreet: The Rap Sheet, So Far - Big Government

Pretty much sums up the movement and the people behind it.

Scared? I don't see any fear, just very well deserved derision and mockery.

I think the 47% who don't pay ANY taxes should start paying their "fair share", don't you think?

1% of top earners pay 40% of taxes - not enough for you?

10% of top earners pay 70+% of taxes - still not enough for you?

What does your version of "fair share" look like?

No, the bowel movement is just about done.

I can't understand how some think the bowel movement is at all meaningful. Their camps have been dismantled, they cost cities a lot of money they couldn't afford, they've made the general public angry with their disruptive antics, they've cost business and jobs.

They had their 15 minutes of fame, thanks to the glowing coverage of the MSM.
