No, it’s Wall Street, which owns the government.

There is a right and a wrong way to protest, have you ever heard of a poor person hiring anyone, the protesters are guided by the wrong master, keep searching it will be made public eventually, if you are going to protest get good leadership

The Occupiers are providing a valuable service by raising issues of inequality and injustice that are just killing this country.

You may not like their demeanor, but unfortunately that’s what’s needed to get the attention of our conflict-loving, sensation-seeking media. If you want to see the real dirty bunch, look at those who are robbing our homes, looting our retirement plans, corrupting our politics, and exporting our jobs … all to buy yet another vacation condo, yacht, Ferrari, or private jet.

They are neither peaceful nor organized, just a bunch of loud mouth no nothings, and the person that owns the protesting site is very friendly with Bloomberg and the Obama Administration, maybe that is why they escaped licensing, do you think. Come on America, Wake UP, we are being invaded by another force that has these occupiers brain washed

The occupy wall street protesters and all the other goofy protesters are a bunch of disorganized clowns, they don’t even know why they are protesting, and to get up on a policemans car and defocate is absolutely disgusting, and there was no license issued by bloomberg, as all people that are organizing an event nust get permission from the fire department and quite a few other local departments, the filth they leave behind is sickening and the media and nancy pelosi just love them, what the he== is happening in America? Protesting is Great and we certainly have that right to Peacefully Protest, But are they Peaceful

Well, what did you expect living in the Corporate States of America? It’s a place where the ruling bodies, e.g. the banks, ATT, and the rest have bought off the regulators and report only to their owners on Wall Street. As the robber barons used to say, “The public be damned!”

The only way to get out of this situation is to revert to what America was pre-Reagan. And the only way to do that is to release our lawmakers from their serf-like allegiance to their corporate masters. That requires getting the money out of politics by banning political contributions of any kind to anyone, replacing the current corrupt system with federal financing of elections.

And how do we get that to happen? Start with heading for the streets and making such a fuss the corporate-owned and run media can’t ignore it. That’s started with the Occupy Wall Street movement now proliferating across the country.
Let’s hope it grows, and let’s help it to do so.

You’re right on the mark, Shani. We’re being nickled and dimed to death! There’s no limit to corporate greed with all of the hidden charges and add-ons. The banks make a fee from the merchants from debit card use, so now they’re sticking the consumer too. What chutzpah!

I’m sure the entire country would agree with your blog, if they can’t see it, there is something wrong with them, I called the phone company (as well as many others) and I just get the run around, as for the telephone company, the said “Don’t blame us, it was Al Gore’s fault, he was the tie breaker when they upped one of their ridiculous additions” we are heading for major trouble
