Occupy this

[Gob]

Do you actually in your wildest dreams think those images prove anything?


Would you like me to post some tea party equivalents?

Who was it that said they weren't demonizing profits and capitalism

These people are not demonising capitalism. They are dead set against something called capatalism which I'm sure is very nasty indeed!

Good point!!!

The devil is in the details.

You can if you want, what it has to do with OWS in Oakland I haven't a clue.

[Grim Reaper]

I guess that's all you've got when your lies are exposed, name calling.

If you think those expose anything then you really are out of touch with reality. But go ahead, keep voting for the boot stomping your face in.

Well what's your opinion of them then, I'd love to know.

[dales]

Oh lookeee!

Pix from Lib!

Here's mine:



I hope this isn't YOUR god, Lib.

The account given in Scripture does not reflect a happy ending for those folk.

Can you tell me then what your photos of the OWS are supposed to show?

[Liberty1]

Being a capitalist and making profits is a good thing. It puts people first. Capitalism has done more to raise up people in this world than any other thing in history.

So I must assume you are against improving peoples lifestyles then.

Can you tell me then what your photos of the OWS are supposed to show?

I would say they should support exactly what folks on here have been saying in response to my posts. OWS isn't against profits, it's not anti-capitalist, it's not a bunch of socialists, that it does represent the 99%.



All this whining and still not a single constructive, analytical or ligitimit comment from the OWS crowd on any of the Oakland pictures.

What about Cuban heels?

[Liberty1]

Another great point.

EUREKA!

There's been no whining, there is no "OWS crowd" here, and again, your pictures prove nothing.

[dales]

OWS is (was) in Sydney.

Nice strawman. Care to try again with a real argument?

Why don't you for once in your life offer some kind of evidence to the contrary. I have very little time to argue with mere statements.

[Liberty1]

The left not only misses their target once again, but as usual doesn't even have the right target. Like I said before, move it to DC.

It turns out the finance sector only makes up 14% of the top 1% of American earners, says this CNN Money report. Executives in other industries make up more than 30% of America's richest cohort. Medical professionals compose close to 16% and lawyers are 8% of the top 1%.

If you're OK with this Lib, you're beyond help.

Top Earners Doubled Share of Nation’s Income, Study Finds

By ROBERT PEAR

Published: October 25, 2011

WASHINGTON — The top 1 percent of earners more than doubled their share of the nation’s income over the last three decades, the Congressional Budget Office said Tuesday, in a new report likely to figure prominently in the escalating political fight over how to revive the economy, create jobs and lower the federal debt.

<snip>

In its report, the budget office found that from 1979 to 2007, average inflation-adjusted after-tax income grew by 275 percent for the 1 percent of the population with the highest income. For others in the top 20 percent of the population, average real after-tax household income grew by 65 percent.

<snip>

If you're OK with what has happened on Wall St. since 2007. The economic calamity bought about by money manipulation on Wall St. Millions of Americans losing their jobs all for more Wall St. profits for the few. People being thrown out of their homes due to the fact that they can no longer pay their mortgages because they lost their jobs for Wall St. profits when their jobs were shipped overseas....etc....etc...etc.


Get it?

[Grim Reaper]

Why don't you for once in your life offer some kind of evidence to the contrary. I have very little time to argue with mere statements.

Because your statement was obvious strawman garbage. You say that these people are against capitalism (they're not) and thus are against improvements in quality of life. That's such a ridiculous statement that you should feel ashamed of typing it out.

But you do have plenty of time to find stupid cartoons that fit your narrow worldview and to dredge up dozens of pictures of protestors. Actually discussing things is apparently beyond you.

Go back to sleep, lib.

What all of these activist have in common is the idea that something is very wrong with the World, and this is their chance to be known and seen. That was evident when Occupy Oakland / Occupy Wall St. took over the Chase Bank on Lakeshore Avenue near Lake Merritt.[/b]


They took over a bank, the article is referring to just the lobby right? But, still that could cause trouble when closing time approached.

Well Dale, you could be nice and tell me why it is an invalid question. The way I read the text in red the protestors took over the bank. To occupy something mean to take control, right? To take over a bank would be a big deal, would it not? In a bank there would not only be concern for the cash on but also security codes and the privacy of financial information. Did they occupy the bank or was it the street outside?
