Who cares if all the money got stolen by one corrupt person. (it didnt get stolen)What is more important is what they are doing down there on those cold manhattan streets. They are working on fighting corruption and spreading the message of the 99%. The money don't matter the message does. Focus on Uniting. Money is everywhere. Unity is more important. Stay focused

There's no evidence of that.
Just trolls. Lots of evidence of that.

I know but I like to debunk negativity

I agree the evidence shows Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Warren Buffet stole most of the money in this country they are white devils.

April, how are your tits? the doctof

Is it not a contradiction to demand transparency in government and Wall St. but to deny transparency of one's own organization? Truth demands consistency otherwise it becomes propaganda.

That said, I will be there tomorrow with bells on.

Where is the link to the story about 500K? Last I heard during the week it was 300K and the money is in Amalgamated Bank.

Agreed. This is just an attempt by greedy people to distract you.

Wow you are a literary genius how long did it take you to write that piece of work. You should get a Pulitzer prize! Lol go away unless you can try to have an adult conversation

A lot of people care, a lot of people donated who really couldn't afford to but did because they believed in the cause. There is no transparency for one it is corrupt: Proof: http://www.occupyr.com/General/thread.php?id=200

You are promoting it

[-] 0 points by RantCasey (782) from Saginaw, MI 13 years ago

U do not care about donors or money you care about fragmenting the movement. Why would you create a site and advertise it with no proof. They should just burn the money I have donated. Because I don't care if they spend it on scooby doo underwear as long they continue fighting wall st. It is their money and the OWS protesters are deciding how it is spent.

[-] 1 points by Notconfusedanymore (62) 13 years ago

I didn't create it. This an actual site full of occupiers. Typical, when the truth is told, most don't want to hear it because the truth hurts.

[-] 1 points by Mooks (1985) 13 years ago

Don't they make the spending public?

[-] 1 points by RantCasey (782) from Saginaw, MI 13 years ago

Sorry didn't mean to be abrasive to you. My bad.

[-] 1 points by RantCasey (782) from Saginaw, MI 13 years ago

If you go up there yes. Do you see the republican party showing how much every dollar they spend on campaign financing no!! If you look in public record you can find it but going on sum politically motivated propaganda site isn't goin to help you

[-] 1 points by Mooks (1985) 13 years ago

Well I would hope OWS would have better transparency than, of all groups, the Republican Party.

[-] 1 points by RantCasey (782) from Saginaw, MI 13 years ago

Right they both by law have to disclose. They just don't have to on there website. I wouldn't even expect the GOP to post on there website so why here. ???

[-] 0 points by Rob (881) 13 years ago

Actually, they are required by law to disclose.

That's just you, and that's why America is great because everyone is entitled to their opinion.

If you follow any of the other threads created, you are in the SMALL minority in terms of where you stand on this issue.

[-] 0 points by RantCasey (782) from Saginaw, MI 13 years ago

My point is the message is more important than feeding into an argument over chump change. If you want to know what is going on with what little money is left go down there and see for yourself. Do you know how much it costs to feed 3000-5000 people in NYC on a daily basis. ??? 3000 x 10 = 30000 x3 meals a day is 90,000 dollars. Does 500,000 dollars sound like a lot now!!! Now get back to fighting wall st

[-] 1 points by chigrl (94) 13 years ago

Are you ordering from Jimmy Johns/insert your favorite chain every meal? There is no way it should ever have to cost $30 a day to feed someone. Sure, $500,000 isn't a lot in the long run, but the point is that this movement purports to be against profit and for transparency yet everyone just closes their eyes when it comes to the money the movement has. You should care about where your money goes. The "leaders" should at least be trying to better the living conditions for the protesters.

[-] 1 points by RantCasey (782) from Saginaw, MI 13 years ago

This manhattan it is expensive ny state taxes are crazy and I low balled at 3000 ppl there are multi groups down there now.

[-] 1 points by jbell78 (152) 13 years ago

Dude, I get that you have your ideas and your estimates. That's great!

What I want is the official numbers from OWS and more importantly, the ideology of how the spends are being determined.

People can rant and rave for all kinds of ridiculous shit on the forums and you choose to take time to make a thread fighting those of us who are asking OWS to live by what it stands for?

Bono's One Foundation steals most of it's proceeds, so who really cares?? What's good for one liberal is good for another.
