Occupy Wall Street

RE: Occupy Wall Street
Jobs. No corporate welfare. No corporate funding of political campaigns. That's the long and short of it. Don't listen to people who say they don't know what they want. They know what they want. They just want so many things that conservatives can't keep up.

Okay I was just a little unsure because all my facebook friends attacked the supporters I know with the whole "entitlement" thing and I didn't really get it.
If I die and god is real, im so screwed.

They take the talking points from their parents, or news, and just pass them on. Doesn't make anything true at all.

Guess what the protesters want the reptilian overlord to reveal himself. Look you read something, does it make it true? No.

They operate like that though.

It's a pity that privileged people can't bother to look at the underprivileged.

Repulicans, and many democrats appear to be of the belief system that is, business is more important than people. Because obviously, numbers and billboards are more important than real people, with families etc.

Rally up a grass root countermovement to negate the likely practical effects of TEA party charade.

So why are the conservatives saying they want to punish the rich to help the poor?

Lenin quotes, which seem apt.

'Capitalists are no more capable of self-sacrifice than a man is capable of lifting himself up by his own bootstraps.'

'Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners.'
'So why are the conservatives saying they want to punish the rich to help the poor?'

Because they're lying. Bush lowered taxes for the wealthy.

Because, only to conservatives, having the rich pay money that they gathered from everyone else to prevent them from starving is a Bad Thing ™.
Slave to the Patriarchy no more

Punish? lol. Yes damn you rich people! You need to be spanked.

They have the mentality that those rich people worked sooooooooo hard to get where they are, its wrong to take their money they earned.

Poor people = lazy druggies who want everything done for them
Rich people = hard working productive members of society

But when you know the truth that is utter bullshit.
