Is it time Wall Street was thrown out of our Government and do you support a protest to do as much?

I went to a few of those "Occupy Wall Street" things and I am a leftist...that being said, while Occupy started off good, it quickly was taken over by freaks who make my Social-Democratic "Why-can't-we-be-like-Denmark?" butt look like Paul Ryan.

If something like this ever happens again, please, let us learn a lesson from the past: DON'T LET THOSE DIRTY ANARCHISTS BE A PART OF IT!

Yes, we need to change the relationship between big business and politics in this country. Yes, we need more laws that apply to big business (I call them "laws", while the right wing hacks call them "regulations". So we "deregulate" banks...but keep regulations on gays and women?)

Yes, we need change in this country...but a bunch of trust fund anarchists sitting around boycotting bathing and throwing stuff at police who are just doing their jobs are not going to break about those changes.

Not to mention anarchists are also very racist: they want to take away from blacks the country and state that they have been fighting to be a part off more than anyone else, while the anarchists themselves are almost entirely white. Anyone suggesting registering more minorities to vote is a target for violence from the anarchists. These guys are racist scum, they just traded their white hoods in for a black one.

Yes I would. We need to take back control of our economy. Greed is destroying our great country.

Nothing wrong with the anarchists - you'll need them for the revolution

We "Can't be like Denmark" because we aren't 90% Danish, 95% Evangelical and don't have an official language like Denmark.

Simple.

Another liberal that fails to understand the importance of Wall Street on the American system and, by extension, the US Government.

I agree with you as well on having business laws to protect the people as well.

I do not understand how some can defend having a defensive military to protect us from corrupt individuals and nations aboard, a domestic police force to protect us at home, and not agree to having defensive policies in place as well to protect us from corrupt individuals higher up the chain, that do not use violence, but deception and greed to the detriment of the nation.

Denmark is also a fairly small country - population around 10 million or so.

BUT, size shouldn't necessarily matter, after all China and the SU managed democracy, for a while at least.

Simple.
So only Danish "Evangelicals" can have a just society?

And Denmark isn't mostly Evangelicals as majority of the people are spiritual but not religious.

I am not a liberal, but I can certainly see you do not believe in "Free Market Capitalism" if you think it is ok for Wall Street Banksters to write their own legislation to pass off to their cronies in the government.

I guess you do not believe a lot of these banks could make it on their on if they did not have the Big Nanny Government to protect them.
