    At least come up with SOMETHING. I mean what is this protest actually achieving other than telling us the same thing the Tea Party has been telling the country. We KNOW the country is going down a shithole fast but you are not accomplishing anything without giving us a solution.

    I would love a solution, I'm a reasonable man. A simplified progressive tax with no exemptions and stricter banking regulation I can live with, in fact I would support it. The end of capitalism not so much but me being pragmatic if you could prove it would be better for America, the public, And most importantly: myself I would go for that too. And I'm not saying hypothetically speaking in a few hundred years after a global police state, I'm not walking backwords to possibly move forwards.
    Define plenty, like 30%? I would say the vast majority are social democrats. Hordes does sound a lot more than plenty so I'm inclined to thinkyou are the minority

    Occupy protests are organized in 951 cities and in 82 countries.

    What an awesome year of progression!

    The anthem of the OWS movement :D :

    [yt:296y1xm3]YtepuyvsGbg[/yt:296y1xm3]

    Before the "Oceania, Oceania" part, what is written in the anthem is very consistent with the movement.

    Did you actually watch the fucking movie? Do you honestly think economic collapse came out of the blue?

    I was not referring to the movie directly. I just thought it would be a good time to say that since it was KIND OF brought up in the title of the video.

    I can provide evidence for the vast majority of Americans it would be better if you want. I dont know how proletarian your family is though.

    Yes, based on my observations and scientific guessing, I would say on the day I was there 30-35%.

    A solution to corporate influence? Public campaign funding. Donation limits. Etc.

    I really don't understand why you people are giving the OWS protesters a hard time because they aren't focusing on solutions.

    Their grievance is corporate influence in government. Where the fuck does it say that they have to provide a solution? And if you went to the protests I'd bet a lot of the people could provide solutions. Problems first, solutions later. They don't make the laws, Congress does.

    Let's say the police are too brutal and the public launches a rally. It makes sense for it to be called the Anti Police Brutality Rally. That's what their grievances are. You protest what your grievances are. So will you cynical fuckers get it into your thick fucking skulls?

    I am not a liberal and I never claimed you held that allegiance.

    WE ALL KNOW THAT THE CORPORATIONS SUCK AND ALL THAT CRAP. WE DID NOT NEED A PROTEST TO TELL US THAT. If these protesters are not presenting any solution to the problem, then what the fuck are they accomplishing?! I mean even the TEA PARTY is provinding some kind of solution no matter how terrible it is.

    The protesters are bringing up an issue that needs to be addressed and I agree with them, there is far too much corruption. They do need a solution like Wolf-Pac which calls for a constitutional amendment to be made to end the corruption I hope that OWS can attach to this solution and them maybe these protests will result in success.

    But it is not accomplishing anything besides restating what EVERYBODY KNOWS ALREADY.
