Well now they just asked for it. REGULATORS – SADDLE UP!!!!!

Message to the Chicago Board of Trade’s 1%’ers… Go F*ck Yourself!!

Lol….some people are asking for a smackdown!!!

99% vs the 1%!!!

Why should we be surprised?  After all we did elect a community organizer for president, who has done little more than divide us and then call his base to action.  Is this not the logical reaction of the president’s base and union friends to his call to action?

I know!  It’s like, I didn’t want to rape that chick but she was so good looking and she was wearing such revealing clothes!  She was practically begging for it!

Anyone catch Limbaugh’s evisceration of these clowns because they want to stitch sleeping bags together instead of partaking in consumption?  Consumption as in buying a new one would be capitalism!

Good on you traders!  Believe me, you’re more than 1%, more like 60%.

Wall Street and the Chicago Board of Trade to Main Street:  “Shut up and eat your cake!!”  They’d lose their head if they weren’t attached.

LOL why are these clowns egging on a mob of pissed off people? Seriously, keep going down that road and you’ll get reduced to a big fat 0%. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

You are very disturbed.  I suggest therapy, or possibly commitment. Yikes.

Liberal message:  Do what we want or we will become marauding bands, taking as we please..

Nice. 

You mistake the 99% of your friends being unemployed losers for that being the case for all.  Sorry dude, most of us just want to work and raise our family.  Occupy wall st my ass, bunch of lazy, whining crybabies who did not get the 100k job right out of college.  What do you think happens when you spend 100k on a liberal arts degree instead of something relevant?  No job, tons of debt, and camping out on wall st.  Seriously, get a job.

Sounds like you like getting screwed over!!  How are those gas prices and credit card rates treating you?  My friend you’re in the minority.

Both moronic sides have the right.

Wow.  Why are liberals so intolerant of other peoples free speech?

Must be the top 1% of the top 5% who pay little or no tax as the Taxation Eradication Activist(TEA) party! Some Taunting could be construed as “Taunting”! The Taxation Eradication Anglers(TEA) party want more “Air Time” than the “Wall Street Freedom Spirited” protesters! Here is a blatant seeking to arouse the Treasonous Erring Anarchist(TEA) to push their own protesting! ‘Ol Brush Himoff, the fat-faced addict, wants the Tragic Egotistical Anarchist(TEA) party to have equal billing in the news. Looks like this 1% stepped over the line as they should have been at work, but rather taunted those ”Wall Street Freedom Spirited” protesters and of course “The Occupy Chicago protesters”! I wonder whose side they are really on?

This sign saying “We are the 1%” must have have put up by that jackass, Rick Santelli. I am sure of it.

Love the signs guys!  Shame you can’t open those windows – Some yellow rain would have added to the excitement and fun!

The last thing unemployed people BUY is a damn sleeping bag!

Some people are just slow learners, Levi. But don’t worry. A hard head makes a soft ass, and I’ve got my hiking boots on for some serious ass kickin’!

So you think electing a Wall Street Executive will make things better.  YOu can bet the Dems will play the part of the GOP if the GOP gets in.  Expect total division.  then we can talk about the how the stupid Wall Street Executive divided this country.  Give us a break – Doofus!

Arrogant! Ahole!

I just came her to post exactly the same thing except my view was just a bit different.

Kinda fitting.

pissing on the unemployed.

Just because you can say what you want, doesn’t mean you don’t get your ass kicked.

Where do you draw this conclusion?

Yeah, the community organizer made me say
nanananana

I’ve got a job.
you don’t.

When the middle class was raped by the rich, you told them (3 comments above) to get jobs. Mark’s analogy is dead on as always

The only thing Limbaugh ever eviscerated was his third dinner and the intent of marriage vows

Yeah , you see lots of liberal militias practicing in the woods

Why are rooting for a club that you cannot join?

Do you have the same reading comprehension problem that the rest of the liberal morons on this site exhibit?  The whiny little bitch  (3 comments above) wants to commit violence on american citizens just because they can keep a job and don’t spend all day smoking pot and complaining about “the man”.  ”The rich” as you call them are everyday people working to make a living, not the cartoonish image you morons and the tantrum crown ”occupying” wall st want to pretend.  No one was raped, weak minded individuals like yourself fail because you blame all bad things on “the rich”. Weak minded fools bought houses they could not afford and took out 100k loans for useless degrees.  The rich as you call them (we know you mean anyone with a job, because 85% of us have them) did not make you a failure.  Take some personal responsibility. 

Yet, here you morons are, threatening violence because you are a failure in life. 

Yet, here you morons are, threatening violence because you are a failure in life. 

i got a scholarship for that liberal arts degree, thank you

and of the 15% who don’t have jobs?

what do you say to them, fuckface?

typical chicago bullshit

men there are such frat boy jock assholes

Right on, brother! Tired of nerds bitching about “rich people” and “greed” rather than doing something to make things better for themselves.

F*ckface?  Nice to see that you learned to express yourself articulately with that liberal arts degree.  Glad to see the scholarship money did not go to waste.  Perhaps you 15% could gain some marketable skill so you can get a job.  You might want to aim low, cash register use, math, things like that.  Will go a lot farther than your comparative modern women’s lit degree.  Good luck.

Get a job? From where, pulling it out their ass? Perhaps they should go work at McDonald’s and feed their families, like I hear people say. What a great solution. At a time when people who have worked on jobs for 30+ years find themselves laid off, and when there are 5 people applying to every 1 job, the “get off you lazy ass narrative” just doesn’t cut it.

Exclamation points do not increase the validity of your position.  Stop complaining that others are successful and try working hard yourself.  You might gain something from it.

Not buying it Van. I’m sensing that you’re pulling down an income of less than $30,000 with big hopes and dreams of “someday” making more. You’re a bit too aggressive and overly committed to Mediaite for me to think you’ve got something really profitable going for you. I don’t find (very often) that people with a great deal of education (or wealth) need to over compensate at quite the level you’re demonstrating here.

Within the context of the “we are the 1%” image above, your ”everyday people working to make a living” comment is a bit of a contradiction. Likewise, were it not for the TARP bailouts, a lot of those arrogant little pricks might not be part of the elite 1% club anymore. Crony corporatism, big bank favoritism, and a centrally-controlled economy (see also: “oligarchy”) are hardly the devises of “everyday people working to make a living.” Around 10% of America’s ”everyday people working to make a living” are currently unemployed, and a much greater percentage are under-employed — working multiple part time jobs for a fraction of what they were making 3-4 years ago with a single job. You didn’t hit a triple if you were born on third base.

Day labor companies around the country hire every single day.  Sure the work is hard but you might learn a trade.  If you are laid off after 30 years, me thinks someone was getting rid of dead weight around the office.  Once again, learn to do something new.  Stop crying for the government to care for you day and night, cradle to grave.  At some point, you need to look at your own choices and how you got where you are.  I read thru the complaints at occupy wall st.  A bunch of whining about useless degrees and demands for someone to pay rent.  No personal responsibility at all. 

If your sensing is any indication of your intelligence, I am not surprised you can’t find or keep a job and want the government to pay for you.  I am a college grad with a decent job because i chose a career in something useful to society.  I am simply baffled that you people think someone should take care of you for your entire life.  Grow up, stop being a drain on society and contribute.  Give it a try and you might see the benefits of self reliance.

Apparently, “van” is i) seized with an unshakable conviction that a liberal arts degree leads to poor employment prospects, when that is demonstrably not the case; and ii) buys into the right-libertarian  perspective that any criticism of the so-called “1 percent” is perforce the subversive work of “losers,” who no doubt, are morally-flawed in van’s “Real ‘Murrican” world.
Glad to see your mail-order hotel-motel management diploma prepared you so well for the execrable Tea-Bag universe you so glibly inhabit, van.

$100,000 degree for a useless degree…..really?  I second Darla’s “fuckface” and throw in an ass-monkey for good measure.

fascinating – you had time to survey the protestors and found out what colleges they attended and what they majored in.
perhaps you could share this your research statistics with us – or a re you just talking out of your ass?

Says the douchebag who is so well off he spendsvhis evenings cursing at people on the Internet, while sitting on a chair made of money

ah – yes. Rick Santelli and his supposed ‘populist’ rant the lib’rul media loved – complete with cheering section of yuppie stock traders in bad suits to back him up on the clip.

Comfy chair, you should try it,  but you might need a job first.

No, dumbass, the rich, as Fitzgerald noticed at the end of the last Gilded Age, are not like you and me. They drink $6,000 bottles of wine for dinner and own more of America than the 4000 of them of more than the next 150 million Americans.

So, you can think Paris Hilton is just like you and the rest of us can laugh at your pretensions.

Van, you tedious moron, I have a job. Which has nothing to do with whether you serve an oligarchy desperately trying trying to convince you that you belong on the side ofnthe nobility versus the serfs. Just so there is no confusion, no matter how much you hate the hippies, you have infinitely more in common with the people who notenthat we were robbed in 2008 and the robbers were never tried. In fact, they continue to run things.

So, go ahead and spit your invective to the people who represent you, while serving as the handmaiden to people who a) do not care about you and will come for you next, liken they came for the teachers, firefighter, and Medicare recipients and b) who spent the last thirty years robbing us all blind by dividing us along class lines.

On Saturday, the one day I do not work, I am going to “occupy” my city. You should mosey on down to the local rally. Either, you continue to hate these people as much as you do now (you can always get a nice white collar/blue collar counter protest going lisle the Sixties had (they got to beat the hippies then, Van….imagine your excitement). Or, maybe you could find solace in the economic troubles of your fellow citizens?

Still, the incoherence you exhibit here against the people who are expressing their discontent at a system which screws them out of a future sure sounds like what the Tea Party folks said would happen in America.

So, do you serve the oligarchy in your job too?  You spew hate at me and then complain that i call you a jobless loser?  gfy chief.  enjoy your clubbing on saturday. 

Actually, my job is helping the disabled. My bosses are nice, rich liberals who would side with protectors before they would the swells, since they see the damage wrought on the little guy over the last three decades.

Still, back at ya, serf

Since they would side with protectors, that means they side with the police right?
You can think Clinton, a rich liberal, for that damage since he did not veto the CRA amendments sent to him in 1995.

So nice of you to debate the point.

Let me counter.

Obama has jug ears.
Bill Mahr hates women.
The Kennedys raped and murdered and you sucked their privates.

Is that how the Left eviscerates?

Timb116,
You seriously need to get some help, a you are talking to yourself again.

Who is bill mahr?

Is a series of non-sequitors followed by a Kennedy joke considered the full Halderman or something, old man?

Bill Maher is that guy you think has a show on NBC.

You know what I find the most hilarious? The fact that these morons protesting will get stuck voting for Barry—the guy who bailed out the very Wall Street they are protesting. Oh, the irony of it all!  hahaha.  Alas, they’re not too bright. Wonder how many protest votes Ralph Nader would get if he ran.  Let them protest (as long as it is done peacefully) and shout to the country why they are so mad.  They certainly don’t speak for me on anything other than eliminating crony capitalism. Green companies are getting taxpayer subsidies on failed ideas and business models. I want my tax money to be paid back BEFORE Obama’s campaign donors do!

the obvious issue is that a bunch of faggots think that being “marketers” and “sales professionals” will give them a life long career. They are the parasites that drain our system. If u don’t actually produce a good, or engineer the production of said goods, you’re most likely a drain on our system.

timb116 – Rooting for a team I can’t join?  Asking this question of me assumes a lot, starting with the belief that this is a club I wish to join.  I am quite comfortable in my current environment and don’t look wantonly at the riches of others who for the most part have been rewarded through their many years of education and hard work.  I’ll leave the whole class envy thing to those who somehow believe these people stole money from their back pockets while they weren’t looking.

So, let me get this straight before everyone goes off in different directions -

The ‘protest’ is partially because the ‘protestors’ have no jobs.  Since Obama took office, unemployment has increased substantially.  The ‘protestors’ will all be voting for Obama (if their parents wake them up in time to get to the polls).  Makes sense to me.

I guess all the union thugs, SEIU, etc, who are joining the Wall Street mob, are unemployed?  Nope.  They will be getting paid and probably a bonus for showing up at your little soiree, and they have houses and incomes – something they will make sure that you sillies never have.  SO, make sure you vote for Obama, the best friend the unions ever had!

PS – the union members, the communists, the socialists, and the members of the Democratic Party, are all laughing at you Useful Idiots.  It isn’t just we Conservatives, altho that is what your buds would like you to believe.

So, if you want more of the same, make sure you vote for Obama!  (And good luck with that.  You will need all the luck you can find in the few years, if you Vote for Obama!)

A final question – why do the unions, who have so much money that they can make the largest donations to the Democrats, not have to pay taxes like those eeevilll corporations have to? 

Now, be real nice to those union members who will be arriving on their nice buses to join you, with their clean clothes and gourmet lunches.  Maybe if you are real nice to them and hold their signs, they will share their lunches with you.

Exactly!  These protests are union backed, and were before they ever started.

I actually ripped down all the stickers and flyers for our city’s occupy union rally on my downtown run last Saturday.  As of last evening, they had not been replaced.  I guess the union’s budget didn’t include duplicates.

While I don’t typically like it, I hope it rains like shit today on these fools.

Way to misinterpret this stuff. From earlier discussions we’ve had, I know you respect hierarchy and authority, but the critique being leveled here is not about one person having more money than another. It’s about 4000 people having more wealth than the next 150 million Americans and how those people perpetuate policies which lead to all the economic wealth going upwards. I understand that you think people at the top got there through “education and years of hard work” (I mean, I think that to when I look at Kim Kardasian or Bill Maher), but the protests aren’t about taking from them what is “theirs,” as much as it stopping them from gaming the system.

See, the local hedge fund guy has a tax rate of 15% on his income, because he calls it a capital gain and he makes hundreds of millions per year. Almost every economist (not working for Heritage), many Congresspeople, the President, and most of the American people who know this, think hedge fund managers should pay income tax rates on their “income.” After all, they would still be rich.

They don’t see it that way and they are able to buy influence with your federal and state officials you could not hope to have, because they have the lobbyists and campaign funds.

Thus, we create an economy as described by Lisa Shalett, chief investment officer at Merrill Lynch Wealth Management at this link. You should read it if you expect your children and grandchildren will grow older in a society which rewards education and hard work and not inheritance and pedigree.

Oh, if you somehow imagine that the wealth disparity in this country wasn’t created by people using government money and power to “steal from the front pockets” of the poor and middle class, then you ain’t been paying attention to anything written in the last 15 years about the society you defended

Those gas prices are annoying, but I’m getting by with them.  My credit card rates are non existant because I don’t have any.  In fact, I’ll be paying off the one thing I still do have financed (my stunning wedding ring) in the next two weeks.  You see, dear Yoda, Oregon Conservative doesn’t buy things she can’t afford.  Now I know “afford” has a skewed meaning in today’s society, but call me old fashioned.  My ring, for instance.  We only purchased a ring that we could pay off in 6 months without paying a lick of interest.  We still live in a two bedroom house that was purchased for under 165K even though we could “afford” a bigger one.  I don’t drive a BMW or Mercedes to my office to see patients even though I could “afford” to, I drive a Subaru. 

I guess I was lucky, I was absent or dropped the class in college that taught me that I deserve what I want or have.  I’m of a mindset that I’ve earned what I want or have.

These protesters are astroturf as you libbys are want to say.  They are union backed useful idiots, one of whom whined and bitched about his down and out parents who lost their home.  Their home is paid off and he is a law student and GWU.  These clowns are a joke.

I AM the majority.

wow.. Raping chicks huh… You must be a hero to the left.. Obama has a job for you somewhere

While i dont agree with your earlier posts, You make a valid and coherent point..I think both sides of the isle can agree that alot of these people benefited from govt handouts and govt picking sides… But what i think most people have a proble with is the blatent hypocrisy in it… Obama and Dems got more money and influence with these Wall st people than the Republicans ever did…
So the outrage should be directed at our president and Congress ( throw in the republicans too if you want, they are no angles either)…
But once you have the Unions and Workers Unites Party going along with it, It loses all its graasroots movement appeal..
But rioting and protesting the Bankers will do what? In 2 months, just like the Wisconsin protests, all this will be forgotten

You raise interesting points which can hardly be argued against.  I think that anyone who understands how it is that hedge fund managers only pay 15% tax on their incomes sees an inherent inequity. This does make an argument for reform, but will our government restrain itself into not raising all capital gains taxes. 

The article you cite also illustrates a disturbing trend that has been ongoing for the last few decades…  For years I have found it upsetting that many corporate boards, especially those in the banking industry seemingly have abandoned any fidelity to their stock holders the best example of which was the banking collapse caused by the housing crisis..  Yes our government played a big role in inducing the banks to extend credit in a desire to create a higher percentage of Americans owning homes, but at some point the greed of the large banks took over and created this mess.  It should be understood by anyone who looks at the financing vehicles employed by these banks and mortgage companies, coupled with the lack of scrutiny in the approval of many of these loans it is clear that these financial institutions were driven by greed and obscene profit taking.  What is worse in my mind is that management took most all of those profits in bonus while leaving the share holders exposed to absorb the losses when the industry collapsed.  In making what really amounts to dishonest loans for up to 125% mortgage to asset value and not doing due diligence in loan review, these managers stole the retirement savings of millions across this country yet they walked away with what amounts to billions upon billions of dollars for themselves and those who helped them sell their shareholders out.  

Your article also points to a disturbing trend happening in the boardrooms of many of our major corporations across the country, Management taking profits for themselves while not allowing those profits for flow down to their employees or there stockholders…  but how can our government address this without playing a major and controlling role in our corporate structures…  and do you trust a Washington which has historically demonstrated a willingness to sell itself for money and influence?  

So what are your answers for reform?  IMO the government rarely does a good and honest job of entering into the private sector and correcting such problems, just look at what has taken place since the banking crisis..  the biggest change that has taken place in that industry is that now the banks are just straight up using taxpayer money to fund the bonuses that their management is still paying to itself in the form of low to no interest loans from the Fed. 

I honestly see potential for the folks that are behind this Occupy Wall Street movement. I may not agree with their current methods, but that does not mean that they cannot become a positive force in our political environment.  I have for sometime now hoped that the left would come up with a movement similar to the Tea Party that would focus not on trying to destroy the Tea Party but rather would focus on accountability of elected officials and on moving issues important to their side.  It is not realistic for the right and left to agree on a number of issues, but one thing that we should all be able to agree on is that our government has not always served our people well and continues to be manipulated by deep pockets and special interests.  To me the most success that the Tea Party has had is in holding elected officials accountable to their campaign promises..  something that I would like to see more of from the left…  If we expect things to be different in the future how can be expect this change to be lead by elected officials who have been in DC for 25 to 30 years?  

LOL my biggest hope for the future is that contrary to the popular cries of the left, the Tea Party never be controlled by the likes of the Koch Bros, and that the left can find a similar grass roots movement that can make a coherent and principled statement moving forward and not allow itself to be controlled by the unions and politicians…

Fedup, I think you are right that in the present climate, there is no way for the government to tell corporate boards what their CEO’s should make, but, as the lady from Merrill Lynch noted, those gains going to the top are hurting the rest of us and there is one way to stop that.  Problem is Eric Cantor and Rush and the rest call that class warfare and say it hurts small businesses.

So, I would not say there is much government can do about that, since some democratic Senators are allegedly opposing changing the “carried interest” loophole!

Which brings me to my general point.  The problem here is that our society is being hijacked and the government has already been purchased. Seems to me the way to limit those special interest purchases of our legislators and Presidents is to take the power of the campaign contribution from the people who are buying them. 

Now, there are two ways to do this, I think.  First, is to make political campaigns publicly funded like they are in many other countries.  Thus, Obama and X and all the other legislators would not need the corporate and hedge fund money to run.  They would have X amount of money and can spend it.

Secondly, the amount of money necessary to run a campaign is amazingly high due to TV ad prices.  TV stations broadcast on public airwaves.  The government could manage how TV stations sell their advertising time as part of their license renewals.

These are inchoate ideas.  First of all, with this Supreme Court, either fleshed out idea would require an Amendment to the Constitution and that is obviously very hard.  Secondly, the only place anyone would ever hear of these ideas would be anywhere else but TV shows!  Local TV stations make so much money off political ads that their only interest is seeing the gravy train continue.  Also, the people who would lose influence would fight tooth and nail against it. It would quickly become partisan, like Citizens United was immediately embraced by Republicans, because it was apparent that it benefited their side.

The solution to the problem with the American system of economics is so freaking complicated. But, that’s where I would start.  You will always have winners and losers in an economy which rewards merit and that’s as it should be, but those winners should not be allowed to invest themselves with feudal amounts of wealth and power, because that tamps down on merit.

It’s true that the solution I outlined above is a government solution, because in my opinion, the reason this system was created by the powerful to use government to aid them to attain more power and wealth.  If you have a solution from the market place, that would be cool too.

OMG you’re so edgy what ever will we do without stickers and flyers???!!!!

I’m sorry, but you’re in the minority.  

I can’t respond below as I sign in with yahoo and have no dash board.

I like your thinking in regard to campaign reform and I too have thought some along those lines but the wall that I seem to hit with that thought is that it is not only the president, but we have the campaigns of the elected members of congress, then we drop down to the states and governors, and their legislators..  but your thoughts are interesting and for the right reasons.  

Beyond that I hope that there is real progress made in a tax system overhaul, not just look at problems such as the one that you outlined with the hedge fund managers but a true overhaul and simplified system that could be written on a few sheets of paper that would be fair and that we could all understand.  

One of the big problems that we have in this country is that once the government does something it rarely goes back to review it’s effectiveness years later.  Our tax code is not only grown to over 70,000 pages of rules and regulations that no one person can understand, but much of the favor written into those pages for whatever purposes no longer serves the country well as they are filled with far too many subsidies and loopholes that do not benefit the average American. 

You bought up the class warfare thing, I honestly believe that conservatives dislike much of what happens on Wall Street as much as liberals do..  but our politicians do not respect the collective intelligence of either side of the political spectrum and they do a poor job of framing the conversation. When you say  class warfare to me I cannot help but think of the presidents words to the latino students in Texas last year in which he told them that those who oppose him are their enemies, not the issues that you outlined here with which I am of similar sentiment as are you..

Hopefully things will change and we will find our way out of this mess, this country will not survive the loss of it’s middle class, it has what has always made us stand apart from the rest of the world…  One must have faith and hold our politicians accountable to solving these problems no matter political affiliation.  

Take care. 

Hey, some of these protesters will surely learn a new skill…among others, the use of a bong.  And now that the unions are showing up they will learn about unruly demonstrations in an effort to preserve the legal privileges enjoyed at taxpayers expense. We will have a new generation of blood suckers.

Hehehehe, I love this!

What are people gonna do, stop investing? All these little park camping trips by these entitled brats have done is remind me to rebalance my 401K.

To the 99%: while you’re out there camping out, singing songs, and being a drain on society, the rest of us are working and being productive.  Get rid of your sense of entitlement.  Nobody “owes” you a job.  You earn it through hard work and having useful skills.  If you aren’t making the choices necessary to increase your marketability, then you’re an idiot, plain and simple. 

And to the idiots posting their IQ scores and Mensa membership on wearethe99percent.tumblr.com blog – 1) I’m not impressed, and 2) how’s that working out for you?

To the sign posters at the CBT…hilarious!

I looked at that tumblr page and it’s pretty sad… sad, as in pathetic. It’s nothing but excuses, entitlement complexes, and blaming other people for their problems.

I also think it’s pretty funny that a bunch of them are wearing Guy Fawkes masks while asking for more government in their lives. Can these people do ANYTHING right? *LOL*

New Guy, I think you’re right on the money.  Someone who has it all doesn’t behave so brazenly obnoxious in an argument.  And, really, he’s a one-trick pony.  Watch, he’ll accuse me of being an uneducated or liberal-arts educated free-loader, as if anyone who disagrees with him is such.  I imagine he’s just another Joe the Plumber, too un-educated to realize he’s been conned into voting against his own best interests.

One minor correction with anotherwise cogent thought…….the top 400, not 4000 control as much wealth as the bottom 150 million. Granted it’s only a difference of 3600 people but those are some pretty damn rich folks.

Apparently you don’t know the employment market very well.  If you did you would see that your argument is full of holes.  The GOP promised us jobs and none have been created.  As far as education is concerned, come back when get one!

And you are crude..  Your IQ is showing and it’s not registering on the meter.. 

GOP message; we feed our base manure and make them think it is filet mignon…

All you fools are missing the point: the day we get Ovomit out of office is the day the economy begins to heal.  All this silly protest bullsh|t will evaporate.

sniff, snivel, whimper sob.  WARE MY GUBMIN CHEK?  NO MUH SAYN?

thats fucking right

These stupid children complain about capitalism, but they have never seen capitalism. All they’ve ever seen is regulations inflation and high taxation; the true reason they dont have jobs (besides the fact that they major in irrelevant subjects).

If they were learning to use a bong they would not be protesting…they would be off somewhere in a good mood not caring what is going on in the world. And NO I don’t use drugs ~ but I have enough common sense and have known enough addicts to relize that marijuana use tends to mellow a person….

I would not worry too much about what Van has to say. He will get his one day. The protesters are rallying against a corrupt system, not successful people.
A person like Van will have to learn the hard way….I was in the USMC, raised 3 children, and now am sick….even though I served my country and have always been a responsible parent I am not considered worthy of disability now that I have Cushings Syndrome and cannot work….meanwhile the 1% of this country just keeps finding new ways to rob the working class….You should always be careful about what you say, and how you judge people ~ it could come back to haunt you one day.

Hotel Mama Babies is what they are!  “Yea, like, ya know, I’m against it all, ya know, like, they make money and I think it ought to be, like, you know, free man, like, why should I have to work when they make enough to support me to, and like, you know, that is how it is, man!” 

What a bunch of little Turds!

I am calling you at as being full of it.  You were probably discharged “other then honorable” and here you are blaming the system and making vague threats.  Way to live up to being a Marine…if you were one.

That like saying “I can wipe my own a##”, congrats. Enjoy that poly sci degree…

Top down, bottom up…Obama is doing his part…according to Obama’s own heroes that he taught at Chicago Law school.

Not sure why a law professor taught how to overthrow our government through the book Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky?  Doesn’t seem to be congruent with Constitutional Law or the standard oath of office required by elected and appointed officials…

you are incredibly out of touch with reality . . . I’ll take true spirit over your insensitive superficial values all day long

Actually, there isn’t any inflation, if anything, regulations have been relaxed in the past three decades, and taxation is as low as it has been in 60 years – remind me again how ignorant and utterly clueless you are?

If only they were wearing tricorner hats and assault rifles and you’d be all “THOSE ARE PATRIOTS FROM THE HEARTLAND! REAL ‘MERICANS HERE TO TAKE THIS COUNTRY BACK FROM THAT SOCIALIST MUSLIM BORN IN KENYA AND HIS FLEABITTEN BRAINWASHED WELFARE QUEENS! LETS GO BOMB A MUSLIM NATION! SHARIA LAW! FLAG PINS AND THE BIBLE!”

Actually, when surveying centuries of financial crises, on average it takes 3.4 years to recover from a financial crisis – which on average takes 6.3 years to create (or more than 75% of the time Dubya was in office). So, you are saying that NOW y’all have a monopoly on how to run an economy? AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA *wheeze* AHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHHHAHAHAHAH

Those traders are always so hung over the drumming is no doubt making their lives a bit difficult. Plus they watch golf on those televisions instead of watching the news. Plus arrests on the job for stuff people actually do is not unheard of. And that’s tame. 

You’re kinda a dumbass, aren’t you?

You’ve either got a tumor (in which case removal fixes the syndrome) or you’ve been hitting the steroids too hard (most common and you need to taper off under Dr. supervision), either case, not a legitimate long term disability claim.

they ARE rallying against successful people.  those liberal arts degrees dont help much do they??

When one has no empathy in them to see what is happening to the 99%, you will see no reflection staring back in your mirror. No reflection……only the black abyss reflecting no soul.

Better be careful, you might die laughing.

No, oregon_conservative, you are NOT the majority! But within 10 years, or less, you WILL be. All the living-wage jobs have been eliminated by shipping them outside our country. This has affected THE MAJORITY, and it will eventually affect you, as well. You will remember your selfish mentality as you wait your turn on the unemployment line. Hopefully no one will treat you the way YOU are scornfully acting. What goes around DOES come around, and you WILL feel foolish!! Remember this warning/prediction; the time is near…..

I love watching Bill Maher! He tells it like it is!! Can’t stand the truth, can you???

You have MORE than a broken tusk! You’re broken all over!

Those militias practicing in the woods are all conservative rednecks, most still waiting to come out of their closets, the hypocrites!!

Awesome Van!  Hey so called “99%ers”… you notice how many more people side with people like Van… you know, productive people that aren’t bitching about their lives, or feel they are entitled to other people’s tax dollars?  That’s because this Occupy “Movement” is a joke!  Get a life, a job, take a shower, stop bitching and stop thinking hanging out in the streets wasting tax payers hard earned cash will get you anywhere.  

If you are trying to ride disability for Cushing’s dz, YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM, and I’m glad to hear your dr’s aren’t, too. Cushing’s is treated with removal of the tumor, (laproscopic) and/or meds. Worse case scenario is the tumor returns and you have surgery again. Get off your butt and stop trying to live off us 53%.

I don’t understand how marijuana use has anything to do with this argument? LOGICAL FALLACY. By the way, i’m currently in the military and don’t use drugs. If you want to dismantle an argument why don’t you speak with your education, not your emotions. To add on to this, you’ve probably never been out of the country so you don’t realize how fucked up this country really is. America is one of the only overdeveloped counties that doesn’t provide health care, or an education to its citizens. Not to mention, America is declining in educational attainment. There is a correlation between this post and the rest of you how think nothing is wrong. Get a fucking clue. Also, I shouldn’t have to have joined the military and go to war just so I could go to college.
