The Robber Barons of Wall Street get theirs. Revolution in 16 minutes ... only careful leads the charge! ha.
Let's finish the American Revolution, not repeat the French one.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"
"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
Do not forget this part.
--That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Article V is the codification of it from the constitution and our right to make change.
I think the "promote the general welfare" aspect of the preamble is often forgotten.
well said.
I'm more partial to the Commerce Clause and the final Litmus Clause, but yours is a good one too.
What's the final Litmus clause?
the religious litmus test clause, and the fact that there should not be one. I believe that clause and a portion of the 1st amendment spells out the separation of church and state.
I'm sorry. I'm ignorant. Why don't you want the religious litmus test clause?
i believe the litmus test clause is not enforced as well as it should be, but that don't mean I don't respect it. It makes sense since politics is the policing of society and religion is the policing of the individual. When religious zealots begin using politics, especially the federal system, to police the individual they are overstepping the separation of church and state. sorry. i re read what I wrote and I can see how you were confused about what I wrote. There should be no litmus test but there seems to be one every two years, in some circles.
Thanks for explaining. I'm all for the separation of Church and State. I'd like a big chasm between them, but a lot of folks want to entwine the two.
But the words "promote general welfare" don't mean that the government is to financially take care of your lazy asses. It means simply that we should promote welfare (good) for all people.
Who has a "lazy ass?" Huh? Who is "your?" Are you talking about me? You don't even know me. Are you talking about poor people? Is that who you are attacking?
What I'm getting at here is that we have an economic system that does not work for the majority of people. Did you know that one-half of all Americans earn less than $26,000 per year? And that 22% of our children live in poverty and that 1 in 7 are on food stamps? Huh?
Are you aware, too, that the Constitution does not dictate that we should have a capitalist economy that is regulated in favor of the wealthy and corporations, or even be capitalist at all?
Do you know how to solve that? EDUCATION! Guaranteed that 75% of the people on this board qualify for government assistance. Use that assistance and go further your education! Guess what? If you do that, you might be able to be one of those horrible people that you detest so much who actually earn their money! Lord help you...
Thank you so much for your, oh so, wise advice, Mr. Arrogant.
I bet I have a higher degree than you and from a better school, too.
Why don't you open your mind, see the light, come out of the cave, take off the blinders?
that's MS. Arrogant to you. And no, you probably do not have a higher degree than I. And no, you probably didn't go to a better school either. What you are is a sheep following the wrong shepherd to the slaughter. That's what most of you ignorant fools are. To try to enlighten you is really, should I say, foolish and a waste of my time. You are only going to believe what you want to believe and you my friend, believe that everyone owes you something. Sorry to break it to you, no one owes you a damn thing.
you're trying to enlighten? A noble thief. nice.
tell it to the banks
You are on the wrong forum.

the french one worked. i don't see this one working.
Sick and twisted. I loved it. It's like Goldman Sachs goes politicking. Madoff for president. And the fucked up thing is ... he'd get the votes! If he wasn't so butt-ugly that is. The guy in the film kinda reminds me of Romney! Throw him on the bull. Shit, this is kinda sad when the surreal becomes real, when satire becomes slice-o-life. Watch this! Post it somewhere better than this. anyone know a good place? you need to show this to more Republicans! They love that Let Them Eat Cake stuff. Onward soldiers.
Wow, that was...strange to say the least. Interesting.
Good assessment of what happens when folks place more value on money than people. Hilarious, too.
the repelican party is DONE

That is not very likely. I've been engaged in revolt of the social construct for quite some time - and only articulated a case for revolt in 2009.
Here we are. On the cusp of revolution.
The repelican party has lied - repeatedly - reganonomics is a failure, blue dress stains do not trump issues of national security like terrorism, and Global Warming is here.
Holding up the budget debate with brinkmanship, creating market uncertainty that drove jobs and market numbers down six weeks into that debate, and all for the purpose of political gain - these are all issues of very serious national concern. We cannot keep kicking the can down the road when it comes to our national debt - and we cannot balance the budget on the backs of middle class America.
Repelican policy of economic deregulation has brought us to the brink of economic collapse.
It is inevitable, given both the sum of the lies and the sweeping policy failures - the people will vote these repelican fools out of office.
It's just a matter of time.
It's also a matter of national security.
You will see this become quite apparent over the course of the next six years.
What is uncertain is whether there will be ice caps left at either pole by that time.
we will see.
okay, I just stumbled on this. I think it says everything. It's scary and hilarious all at once. I'm posting this on Facebook and I think everyone else should too. Better than anything Hollywood has put out. very cool.
My favorite part was when the lady yells "Im not a nanny I'm an ethics professor!" hahaha
The end of the film was creepy and depressing.
I missed that. That's kinda hilarious.
I don't think this is about revolution, I think it is about power and manipulation. I think this should be seen by more people.
funny. hadn't thought of the Romney thing, but he kinda does. so tell me where else to post it, i don't really know.
Post it somewhere where the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers can see it. Needs to run on the NYC jumbotrons.
Show it in Saudi Arabia!
Why am I the only here that sees that this film isn't only about blaming the politicians or the bankers. It blames us. The suckers. The suckers who fall for the pretty face. When that banker does his campaign speech and says "I can do this", it reminded me of the President's campaign "Yes we can". All I keep thinking about is Living Color's song "Cult of personality". The Robber Baron helps cause the financial crisis, pockets the profits + government bonus, sacrifices the lamb for the ignorant masses, gives a "mea culpa" speech, and then runs for a political position. CLASSIC.
And what does the stupid masses (sorry...ethics professor) say???? "he looks just like Tom Cruise".
There it is folks. It's about the lambs going to the slaughter once again. The film is about NOT THINKING. It got me thinking specifically about how people get manipulated because they don't think.
THINK!!!!!!!
Bingo.
reminds me of the Turner Diaries for some reason
truce for a day! no more politics ... it's sunday afternoon, we should all be watching football!
Holy Shit. that's the guy from PORKIES!!!!!!!! check it out. what's that actor's name????? Wasn't he also on ONE DAY AT A TIME????
Cool shots of NYC. Who did this? I didn't really listen to everything, just looked like some populist point of view. I get tired of that. Am I wrong?
Filmmakers and musicians are leading the revolution. What revolution, I don't know.
artists always lead the revolutions. does it really make a difference when the heads are rolling?
Yup. Porkies he is.
The best films have continuity gaffs, thanks for pointing that out, Mr. Darwin, glad to see you were paying attention. Exactly how much money do you make? Curious to hear what you think you deserve and what you did (and to whom) to earn it.
somebody post this on the homepage. too funny. I agree about Romney. Scary like Romney, too. Squeaky clean and you know he'd kill his brother to get the votes.
wow. kinda sick, kinda awesome.
I offer a non-violent yet effective alternative to fight a bank: http://occupywallst.org/forum/overlooked-ways-to-legitimately-attack-financial-b/
stupid...
i thought you ows goons weren't violent?
it's a MOVIE. and if you paid attention, the real killer was the power-hungry banker-turned-politician. Huh. There's a message there.
You have to forgive him.
He's a (R)epelican and they have very shallow abilities concerning comprehension.
Propaganda overload, I guess.
They overload, when it comes at them with a positive message.
think if the tea party had made such a movie, but about killing Soros or some other stupid left wing billionaire, it would be all over the news and Pelosi would want a congressonal investigation.
in this movie, the left wing does not kill a banker, his right wing brother does, for political power and manipulation, but whatever. i would love to see a Tea Party Movie. Bring it on.
of course , i should have known that in any left wing movie the conservative guy would be the bad guy.
or perhaps the "bad guy" is the gullible masses blindly following the flawed leader-wannabe. it is actually not as heavy-handed and one-sided a point of view as you seem determined to label it. could be your own agenda blinding you. consider that if you will.
For the record, the director of this film tends to vote Republican. Yes, the writer is left. It was a collaboration.
ReubenBaron, the rest of us got it. The others are simply looking to instigate. They really are that ignorant.
It doesn't matter what you say or what you do. Perhaps in your next movie you could focus on paid for trolls.
Where do I sign up for the easy money Girly?
You tell me. You're the pro.
Your too easy.
Yawn.
Kirby, you are so boring.
I know.
I saw this. It is really well done.
The best part of this movie was them getting on the 4 train one minute and getting off the C train 2 minutes later. Piece of crap! I did like the stupidity of the mob though, very OWS. Too dumb to get jobs and whining ad nauseam about those of us with brains and skills and talent to lead and rule. Your movement will be a distant memory by Spring ... a couple more snowfalls and "the cause" will disappear. Fucking losers. I make a lot of money and I love it. I earned it and I deserve it. Throw that over the Bull Statue, freaks.
Apparently you are afraid of losing it, or you wouldn't be spending your oh so valuable time on this forum.
I'll send you my bill.

you're an idiot to make such a sweeping generalization, i can tell you must have a pea size brain and are somewhere prior to me in evolutionary chain--let me guess: you had wisdom teeth:):) that's actually a fact--i did not. the people think the country needs to have real systemic change and are drawing attention to that fact; and very many have high earning jobs and post information on highly sophisticated business, economic and legal matters that are of concern beyond how much money they make. and i doubt you earn and deserve it.
What makes you think I would answer to you? You are meaningless.
Your birth certificate is an apology from the condom factory. You must have been born on a highway cuz that's where most accidents happen. You'll never be half the man your mother is. If you were twice as smart, you'd be approaching stupid. Are your parents siblings? I'd like to see things from you point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my ass. I can describe your film in three words: stink, stank, STUNK! Loser.
You're just jealous because you have a little penis.
You obviously have nothing itelligent to say.
Little penis.
Fucking Loser.
Still a little penis.
