When I first saw the protests on Wall Street. I didn't need anyone to tell me what this movement is all about. I Knew!!!
To all those who have and are feeling all the injustices that are occurring in their lives from all the corruption, greed, and lack of empathy from those that buy our government and don't give a damn who they stomp on or kill in the process - all the more power to you!!!
I get a big kick seeing comments from those that say we are all just lazy non-working people and have no clue. The uninformed are so cute,and always the last to know. :)
I am so proud of all you that are protesting. I have a new feeling of hope.
There are so many issues on the table that have a different meaning to each of us from these criminals that have effected our lives in negative ways. However one thing most of us all know....our democracy and government is BOUGHT - and not in favor of the people who they are supposed to work for. AND WE ARE FED UP!!!
And just wanted to say, hello. :)
YOU PEOPLE NEED TO GET A CLUE!!! The United States is NOT a democracy. You people yell about your Constitutional rights; yet, you make idiotic statements about America being a democracy, which leads me to believe that you people do not know squat about the Constitution. America is a REPUBLIC. The only democratic part about it is that the people can vote for their public servants. A DEMOCRACY is mob rule - majority rule. And if America were a democracy, then anyone in the minority would have their rights run over by the majority.
You know what I think is extremely funny about all this though. Do you realize the amount of positive change that could occur in this country if all these OWS people would join forces with the Tea Party? You see if the people of this country would stop being so extreme, and would take the initiative to compromise with "the other side", then the people of this country could get some things done.
