Culprits? By that do you mean the ones who printed the trillions or the ones who received it?

Huge difference? What difference do you see?

Discontent? Explain what discontent they have and with whom?

I mean that's the issue I have with someone inciting others to protest. Is they don't have an answer or use vague reasons like "it's 'us'in agin them'in". The people are there but like the bunch following Gump I get this sense nobody knows why. All I can gather from someone who said he was there is they are organized socialists, Ron Paul supporters, students gathering to make love and not war, people against the FED but don't know what the Fed does and groups of grown adults repeating everything the main speaker says like we did trying annoy our parents when we were five years old.

So if you could clarify for me when that person or group (whomever it maybe) does decide to take the reigns and lead who is it you would like to see do this and why?

I will say that I think I know more what they want they they do. It is a developing movement. There was interviews at early tea party rallies and they were the same scatterbrained bunch (just heavily armed in public rallies) It was put together via twitter and facebook. Not George Soros....

My beef is the privatization of profits, and the socialization of losses.
The fact that Lobbyists can influence policy, cuts the 99% out of the legislation process. The American government is based on the people.

It would have been cheaper to give every American A check for 10k USD, it would have stimulated instant spending, spurring our dead economy instantly...

I know it's expensive, would cost almost a trillion dollars....

It's what they gave to the banks, on top of nearly interest free loans for them to loan (except they didn't, they played the stock market, have to get it over 10k) The Federal reserve is depleting our currency, which as I said above, alot of commodities are traded in USD.

It don't affect you in Britain/France/Russia/even blossoming Germany...Yes it does... Especially if you keep doing what we did and bailing out bad capitalism..


The rules of capitalism are simple. You either suceed or go out of business. Yet we saved them, and they gave nothing back.

Unemployment went up just as the capital the the corporations are sitting on went up. They get rich here, then ship it overseas for a quarter of the wages.

Make the rest feel "happy they have a crap job" and know they can be replaced by someone just as desperate to feed their family....

See it yet? Big business owns our government. Citizens United Decision. I said that before too.

They want to be represented, same reasons we knocked over Britain for, a few hundred years ago.
They want a voice. They want to be equal to moneyed interest.

They don't want whats yours, they just don't want to give what little they have to the few who have more than they can use in 5 lifetimes.

Fair request, or is that "communist" or "retarded"?

They just want to be heard, to be human. Not to be minimized because they don't have a lobby, or a political action commitee(PAC)

So why do you hate these people? (college graduates who can't find jobs, retired folks, war veterans, laborers, secretaries)
