SEAN HANNITY, FOX NEWS HOST: My next guest, an "Occupy Wall Street" organizer says that the left-wing fringe group has a tall and radical order ahead of them. Harrison Schultz was asked on May Day about his organization's motives. Let's listen to what he had to say.

Unfortunately these are the kinds of interviews you wind up with when the OWS goal is to remain leaderless.

Hannity drills people for a living and he is good at it. That guy he interviewed was not media trained and doesn't debate people for a living all day like Hannity.

If OWS had leadership, they would have professional media people do interviews who stick to a well crafted message.

Personally, I think the guy did a pretty good job, despite not being a professional. I think his background is in online marketing, so he had some understanding of communication, and he was pretty intelligent. But yes, it could have been done better as well.

[-] 1 points by MattLHolck (16833) from San Diego, CA 12 years ago

Hannity sucked

I would stop reading him by the second paragraph

It's embarrassing that he is fifty and still can't say anything but rape

It seems certain Americans (Dixie Chicks) in the entertainment industry are taking the low and popular road by disrespecting the Elected Leader of our United States on foreign soil. "I am embarrassed that our President comes from Texas" - the quote attributed to the Chicks lead singer has angered many in our country.

[-] 0 points by DemandTheGoodLifeDotCom (3360) from New York, NY 12 years ago

I had the opposite impression. The guy was so bad I wondered if he was an actor hired by Hannity.

I also listened to his radio interview. He claimed he was a media analyst but then said he did media research on google when Hannity called him out on his incorrect claim that he got Hannity's show ratings the day after the show aired which is not possible.

It is hard to take someone seriously whose economic ideas are to make everything free and nobody pays for anything.

[-] 1 points by arturo (3169) from Shanghai, Shanghai 12 years ago

It didn't seem to me that Hannity had attained much of an advantage, he just seemed arrogant. The other guy at least seemed to be authentic.

Local college IU-PU ft wayne . . .gave an entire "course" on Occupy . . . it was on local channels in several parts LIVE. . . . they even had a televised Occupy vs Tea Party program

The Prof invited local Occupy Participants in the class and gave them great opportunity to explain the movement . . . . The prof was extremely sympathetic and kept trying to put historical import and comparison ....... . .and cost 700 dollars to actually Take the "class" for credit. Even with the openly supportive prof .. .they still could not explain what the OWS was really about .. . or how they would know when they had been, in Nancy Peloski's words, successfull. A Basket weaving class would have been more useful

That guy was a real idiot. He is representing you. Everything is free!!!

[-] 1 points by DKAtoday (33802) from Coon Rapids, MN 12 years ago

He represented himself and his feeling for supporting the movements against greed corruption and crime. That he did not fare too well on the program is a given - that was not going to be allowed as that is the intent behind that kind of program = bait set-up cut off and attack. The only real mistake made was to go onto that kind of program in the 1st place.

[-] -1 points by Cweiss (-8) 12 years ago

It has nothing to do with him not representing himself well. He said exactly what he felt, he wants everything for free, doesn't want to work and doesn't even know where his tuition is coming from. He is the symbol of the OWS - no responsibility.

[-] 2 points by DemandTheGoodLifeDotCom (3360) from New York, NY 12 years ago

Interesting link. Those who organize will win. The Arab Spring was won by the Islamic Brotherhood because they are the most organized in that country.

OWS should organize around the idea of eliminating unfair inequality.

Or they should be a federation whose mission is to promote whatever groups people organize into that are a part of OWS.

[-] 3 points by TitusMoans (2451) from Boulder City, NV 12 years ago

OWS is a leaderless group; check it out on the home page of this site. Anyone that represents himself or herself as a leader of OWS suffers from a delusion: it is leaderless for a purpose.

You could represent yourself as a leader of OWS; that wouldn't make it true or desirable. I do wish reactionaries would become more educated, but I believe that would go against the grain.

I can't understand a word Hannity says. I don't speak Santorum.

[-] 1 points by Middleaged (5140) 12 years ago

He is a politician. And they often want to be our fathers or tell us what to do and how to live.

I might be wrong, but I keep thinking that Sactimonious is someone that thinks they have the upper hand because they parrot a higher ethic or parrot what they think is the higher moral. They think they can win dominance through saying their words are sacred and widely accepted. It is a power play in our inter-personal relationships.

So Sanctimonious would include: Santorum, Gingrich, Romney, and most all GOPers.

I am not a 29 year old that agreed to go on that show. I am not an anarchist, although I find value in much of what they say. I am not a communist-communism just like capitalism looks pretty on paper but is deeply flawed. So, don't play that shit with me.

When you do interviews, the object is to get further information from the other party. Not so much with clowns like Hannity.

I'm not going to lie to you, I would not have made some of the choices that he has made. That said, you don't really know anything about it because he wasn't able to actually give any further information.

You repeat yourself . . .over and over again . . .which makes you . . well . . . .redundant . . . AND just as here, Hannity had no patience for non-reasoned opinions for some one who wants to make a career out of complaining, protesting, disruption . . and can offer NO alternatives . . . This guy said he is not going to "participate" in the election because he doesn't "believe" in the system at all .. . He is going to use alternative 'methods' to get his utopia . . . Gee wonder what that will be ?

[-] 3 points by GirlFriday (17435) 12 years ago

If you would have listened the first time around then I wouldn't have had to repeat it. Since you continue to post the same crap over and over then it doesn't appear that I am the one with the problem.

HARRISON SCHULTZ, "OCCUPY" PARTICIPANT: We never left. We were just tired. I mean, anarchy isn't easy. This is a lot of work. We had to hibernate for awhile, but today we are resurging. The energy is really good out in the streets.

The problem here is capitalism. That's what needs to change. That's what is failing all of these people. I personally don't care about this election. I know other people are working on it.

But I am looking at far, far more radical alternatives than political alternatives. I would like to actually see a new form of politics entirely.


SCHULTZ: You keep changing the subject -- I would like to keep talking about my problems with capitalism, personally. I would like to talk about my solutions, too.

HANNITY: You want to post your own show.


Hannity was an ass. He allowed no opportunity for solutions to be presented. Try again.

We get our rights taken away, our choices on lifestyle are downsized every year, our taxes go up, more and more bombes are dropped, etc.

I seen a video of this interview, and true to form, fox found themselves a fun punching bag. But no worries, there's articulate occupiers doing interviews (for instance, Colbert just interviewed a guy who did an absolutely brilliant job).

In fact, the guy did such a terrible job, I'm wondering if Hannity staged the whole thing?

[-] -2 points by chatman (-478) 12 years ago

yea - it was staged lol! anything that is at odds with you is a lie lol!!!

[-] 2 points by francismjenkins (3713) 12 years ago

Well, I'm not saying it was staged (that was more of a joke obviously), although I'm quite sure it was staged to a degree, insofar as Hannity (or his staff) cherry picking someone who would make OWS look, if not bad, at least scatter brained. I've seen other interviews (for example Bill Moyers, Colbert, etc.) where they interviewed an occupier with a very impressive resume, both academically and professionally, and who did a remarkable job of representing OWS.

[-] -2 points by chatman (-478) 12 years ago

so basically you are throwing one of your own under the bus. Not unlike your messiah Obama does to his people lol!

[-] 1 points by francismjenkins (3713) 12 years ago

This movement isn't monolithic, and I don't believe in messiah's. The way I see it is people who team up against other people, and who don't critique themselves, are exactly the same people who fucked up our country. It's been the lack of integrity and intellectual honesty, indeed, even losing sight of what the word integrity means, which has brought us to where we are today.

I'm critiqued all the time, indeed, I'm not even really critiquing anyone here. The gentlemen who interviewed with Hannity, didn't stand a chance (even if he was something like a lawyer or public relations expert, it would still be difficult to come out of that shit pen unscathed).

That's the sort of thing you literally have to train for (to even stand a little bit of a chance). I mean, Hannity isn't a news program, it's more like Rush Limbaugh slightly modified for prime time (and probably with a much better and more sophisticated staff).

That is not the sort of format that could ever possibly do any movement of any meaning any good, it's just not. Even if the interview went well, you'd never get a chance to fully articulate your position, and the guys at Fox do a very good job of shaping the conversation. I remember seeing Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins on O'Reilly. Both of those guys have PhD's, are accomplished scientists, with very good arguments against religion, and O'Reilly chewed them up (even though he's light years stupider than they are). So in my humble opinion, a liberal (much less an anarchist) is well advised to avoid Fox.

government should pay for everything is what Schultz was "articulating". No?

[-] 1 points by francismjenkins (3713) 12 years ago

It's hard to tell what he was articulating, since he was totally unscripted, didn't seem to prepare for the interview, and there was no opportunity to elaborate on anything. It was more like the interrogating attorney berating the witness, asking a "yes or no" question (which requires elaboration), getting the answer he wanted, then cutting off the witness before he can elaborate.

[-] 0 points by chatman (-478) 12 years ago

it wasn't that hard - I was able to figure it out. Yes or no questions are the best. Most people deflect the question & make the statement they want to get out there. Hannity & O'Reilly don't stand for that. What requires elaboration? For instance do you support the Buffet rule on taxes Yes or no? Not that complicated.

[-] 1 points by JackHall (413) 12 years ago

Appearing on Fox News is asking to be run over by a steamroller for the unprepared. Fox News is not news. It is a propaganda tool in the guise of expert tabloid journalism. Last week Hannity interviewed CIA agent Jose Rodriguez, author that wrote a book about his role as a interrogation specialist that has questioned top al Qaeda operatives with advanced interrogation techniques.

Soon it became clear that Messrs. Rodriguez and Hannity had not been told about controlled demolitions at WTC on 9/11/2001. Obviously, if the largest controlled demolitions in New York City history were responsible for the collapse of WTC twin towers and building 7, then Osama bin Laden, Sheikh Khalid Mohammed, al Qaeda, and jet airliners were not the cause of the mass destruction and deaths that day. The CIA interrogation techniques did not produce the truth. Those techniques caused their prisoners to admit to being the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, which is impossible because no one in New York City, New York State or Federal governments has yet acknowledged the fact that controlled demolitions brought those buildings down.

So for the past ten years the CIA agents and our government have been torturing al Qaeda for information about 9/11 that didn’t exist. And even today, there is a celebration marking the anniversary of bin Laden’s official death, when he probably died from end stage renal disease in 2008.

Therefore OWS personnel should stay away from Fox News.

Normally i do not respond to these posts but here: Do you really believe that a controlled demolition, with all it's required work before the event, could actually have been hidden ? Simple answer: NO

[-] 1 points by fiftyfourforty (1077) from New York, NY 12 years ago

"Could have been hidden?" Well, if hundreds of engineers and architects are putting their careers on the line to demand an investigation (something that really never happened - even Tom Keane says the "investigation" was seriously flawed) I want one also. I want to know why it was so important to ban cameras from the WTC site until the steel wreckage was carted away for shipment to India and china to be melted down. I want to know why the government fought to stop then starve the investigation, why Bush couldn't appear without Cheney and why they couldn't swear they were telling the truth. there are too many questions that demand answers.

That's a great idea. The other news organization may not be as bad as Fox, but Americans in the TV audience may not be ready for formal debate as evidenced by the debates between Republican candidates for the party's nomination.

I think we would want a more "classical" approach to debate. That is, debates which are intended to get at the truth and functional principles, rather than just persuading, making a candidate look good, or confusing the issue. I think this is what most mainstream politicians do these days, and we, the real 99%, need something different.

Right. I don’t know what happened to debating.

Kennedy-Nixon Debates(1) 1960 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6Xn4ipHiwE&list=PLB1DD6523EF07F774&feature=plpp_play_all [right click]

Kennedy + Nixon Debate Review (1960) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFMyDbaiGWQ [right click]

It seems Americans may have lost direction since these debates.

Getting to the truth without debate is probably good enough. For example, look at the debate on climate change. One side brings out the science that supports the climate is changing. The other side brings out the science that creates doubt. So nobody wins until the glaciers are shown to be disappearing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkPw152GVjw&feature=relmfu [right click]

Our leaders don’t know enough science, or lack the intellect to lead the country into the future. Obviously, they depend on advisors instead of understanding firsthand what the facts mean and what has to be changed.

I thought most of it was OK. There could have been a better speaker chosen for this, if this person wasn't just a plant to drum up ratings. Most people in Occupy that I know would tell Fox to go fuck themselves, and never volunteer to be on that biased shit pile that passes for "news"

"HARRISON SCHULTZ, "OCCUPY" PARTICIPANT: We never left. We were just tired. I mean, anarchy isn't easy. This is a lot of work. We had to hibernate for awhile, but today we are resurging. The energy is really good out in the streets.

The problem here is capitalism. That's what needs to change. That's what is failing all of these people. I personally don't care about this election. I know other people are working on it.

But I am looking at far, far more radical alternatives than political alternatives. I would like to actually see a new form of politics entirely."

Here is where Fox "shines." Notice how the conversation is loaded right from the start:

"HANNITY: So anarchy is not easy and more radical alternatives are being explored. Well, from the look of these new pictures from May Day, well, they seem to be pretty radical alternatives to me.

Now the protest quickly turned into a violent and dangerous scene of smashing store windows, attacking police, defacing bank and store fronts."

Now if I were Harrison I would stop Hannity right there and probe him on exactly how many of these incidents we are talking about, out of 30,000 people. Drive home the fact that 30 THOUSAND people took to the streets, and all that Fox can find is what, maybe 10 people doing something that they don't agree with? Point out that Fox picks-and-chooses what to report on.

"SCHULTZ: Let me start by saying, thank you for letting a dirty hippie come in and explain his views -- this is the way your news network is portraying us.

HANNITY: Did I say you are dirty, a hippie. Did I say any of that?

SCHULTZ: Yes, in August. You were making fun of my friends?

HANNITY: You mean the ones having sex in public, doing drugs and defecating on cars and those who are on other cities that were actually being violent breaking store windows, cursing out police and all of that? You mean those guys, those guys?

SCHULTZ: No, no, no. Those were the people that the NYPD was sending to the park to discredit us and make us look bad. And actually give your network --"

OK, this was working right until that last rebuttal. He should have went with, "out of thousands of peaceful protestors who didn't do any of those things, your station chooses to focus on a few bad apples. Did you give this much media coverage to the Tea Party protestors who brought weapons to rallies? Where is your 'fair and balanced' reporting on this issue?

"HANNITY: What about the violence that took place in other cities and the broken store windows and the sex in public and drug use in public and defecating on a police car, was that a police conspiracy too?

SCHULTZ: I don't think there is anything particularly radical -- that's very cliche --"

That was a bad answer. He should have turned the tables on Fox, and pointed out that Beibart's rape list, for example, was fabricated nonsense and was debunked. Also point out that one person does not represent the entire movement, and that the overwhelming majority of people there (i.e. all but one) did NOT shit on a police car. Just because one person out of thousands misbehaved doesn't make our points and less valid.

He could have also said "I'm not going to answer your biased line of questioning. I'm here to talk about..."

"HANNITY: What is your problem with capitalism -- how old are you?

SCHULTZ: I'm 29, sir. How old are you?"

Should have said "my age does not change the validity of our viewpoint, which is..." aka keep steering the conversation in the direction that you want it to go. The Fox pundits are well-versed in staging an interview in a way that will make you look as bad as possible. Its is up to you to call on them on their BS every step of the way, and make sure that you get your point out no matter what.

"SCHULTZ: You keep changing the subject -- I would like to keep talking about my problems with capitalism, personally. I would like to talk about my solutions, too.

HANNITY: You want to post your own show.

SCHULTZ: I would! That's what the up on movement is about, it's about getting people to host their own shows and stop listening to people like you. We don't need you anymore. Your viewership is on the decline --"

Great job at trying to steer the conversation back. The attack at the end didn't work, however. Maybe he should have asked Hannity, ignoring the "you want to host the show" leading statement, "Do you condone companies like Duke Energy having negative tax rates despite making billions in profits?"

"SCHULTZ: For people within my age group and the opportunities are not there to pay off the debt that we have been --

HANNITY: Are you against big business?"

Another Fox tactic. The cut off. Best way to fight this is "You're being rude. Let me finish."

"HANNITY: You don't work. You get free money for school and you are complaining and whining --

SCHULTZ: Google is the most successful company. They give away their products for free, right? So people like us, we spend all of our time providing content on social networks, we work."

Bad argument. He should have changed subjects or went back and used the statement as an attack on the 1%.

"I would be more than glad to pay for my education with my own money if the 1% didn't gut all of the jobs from our country. The 1% uses their greed to keep people like us from being able to live independent live, ergo we need government assistance to do what we could have done on our own before. Lets also talk about the greed that is causing our tuition rates to increase to the point that we need loans. Lets talk about the greed that textbook manufacturers exhibit when they change maybe 2 pages in a textbook and call it a "new edition." Lets talk about the fact that every job but the most menial requires a degree, effectively forcing us into this system."

"HANNITY: Hanging out with rapists, drug addicts, people having sex in public is more fun.

SCHULTZ: It's more dignity in that than it is hanging out in this show with you."

Nice. That would have been a better diss if the earlier points were rebutted.

Harrison Schultz is an idiot. Hannity and Fox news are doing what they always do, twist the story around to sway people what they want people to believe and he had to say something really stupid like the NYPD sent those people down there to rape those women. Look, i've spent time on the streets and as any street person knows there are dangerous people out there, the larger the city the more of. Whenever there's an event, say a fair, the police know to be there because trouble will go there looking for opportunity. When Occupy started occupying areas, it was street ignorant, you knew your worlds but you didnt know this one. There are good street people and homeless who know this only too well which is why there surveillance camera's all over the place which can only respond to a crime after it happens or reported and normally after the perp is gone. Ever know anyone who have lived on the streets or in a mission. They have been preyed upon. The homeless use to be and probably still are, the most cases of unreported crime being victimized because they live in fear of retaliation. When this movement starting clashing with the police instead of trying to understand them they were not able to be amongst the crowd to watch for these kinds and tell you how to be safer out there. Yes, the police have some bad apples, just like in any crowd, as well as those who get carried away with their tempers and tactics but there are many, many good officers who are only doing their job. Thats orders from headquarters, not something personal from individual police and they have to do their jobs, try to see their side of this. I also believe that this opened the door not only for the criminal elements but for misfits or those idiots like black bloc. As far as those who wanted to blow up a bridge, its just a case of a few bad apples again, who think more radical measures are the way to, while the main body of this movement is to accomplish it's objective non violently, which i respect and believe is the way or it will harm what this movement is trying to do. Just listen to that butthead hannity, see what i mean.

Occupy needs more structure and to make its core message "Getting outside money out of politics". Sweet and simple and deals with the root of the problems.

[-] -2 points by chatman (-478) 12 years ago

you need to do more than "Getting outside money out of politics". You need to articulate how.

[-] 1 points by Endgame (535) 12 years ago

There are multiple creative ways of making of Getting outside money out of politics the core message and goal. Initially its not about the technical process of how, but just that its at the root of all that is wrong with this country.

Corruptions, special interests and bribery is why our country is in the state its in.

First its about messaging and getting people on board. Its simple, straight to the point and just so happens to be the most bipartisan issue there is. EVERYONE from all political sides complain about how our political system is bought and how our democracy is becoming more smoke and mirrors. Everyone believes that politicians are bought and care more about doing the bidding of whichever special interests is buying them than whats best for the country.

So we call them out on it. Either you're a politician that is bought or you want to end the corrupt bribery system. We follow the money. We highlight which Wall Street firms paid off who. And tie the money to the politicians that advocate for policies that screw this country over.

Now once we have the majority of this country on board with a message that most of them already agree with anyway THEN we get to the technical parts on how. It will involve a constitution amendment which will be hard to do now. But by the time this message has sunk in(not very long) the task will be MUCH simpler.

After we get outside money out of politics all the other problems will gradually get fixed. Because we will be able to have debates on all these important issues without the influence of outside money buying our politicians we will fix all the problems plaguing our country much faster. We will be able to truly end Too Big Too Fail, Higher Education costs, Income Inequality, fix our Tax system, etc, etc. The possibilities will be endless.

So im not saying that the Occupiers needs to stop complaining about all the other important problems plaguing this country, but do it under the umbrella something that deals with the root of ALL those problems; Getting outside money out of politics.

You brought up wealth not me - obviously a wealthy person doesn't have to work full time when in school, but there are plenty of people living in the margins that do. They understand that it takes hard work and sacrifice to get the things that they want out of life - be it a college degree or whatever. If you choose to take out a student loan large enough to pay not only for school, but for 100% of your living expenses for 4+ years - then you should be ready to pay that money back once you are gainfully employed.

You do realize your boy Sean Hannity was a triumphant winner of the Pee Buddy Award.

"Sean "The Insanity" Hannity a.k.a. "That hypocritical douche-bag" or "The Wall Banger" (hatched December 30, 1971), is an asshole, political novice, and all around fat-necked bitch. Contrary to popular belief, he sucks lots of dick on a daily basis, but will never admit that black cock tastes best. Hannity is known around NYC for being a regular in the video arcade backrooms where closeted homosexuals go to engage in anonymous sex. Clearly he was only conducting a routine cavity search on that poor poolboy because he thought he was a terrorist. Anyway, Hannity is often mistaken for a political commentator, due in part to his uniquely dry and oblique sense of humor. He has written jokes for over thirty thousand different clients, most of which were so obscure that they were not recognized as jokes at all by the vast majority of viewers. He has been described as just about everything you can possibly imagine at one point or another, except a comedy writer, a fact which vexes him greatly."

who ever owns it but all stations should be shown for the pure fact of freedom of information

We need a bit more than just consumption though. If we just consume at our current level of technology, we will consume the resources that are available to us, and then run out.

We need to invest in new production processes that will allow us to access untapped resources, for example, by mining the moon or asteroids. But then again, you probably know that just as well as I do.

[-] 1 points by DanielBarton (1345) 12 years ago

of course that is part of the process

[-] 1 points by arturo (3169) from Shanghai, Shanghai 12 years ago

Ok, but if we keep consuming, even at a lower level, we will eventually use up the resources that we have available to us.

Maybe there can be compromise. If you happen to work for cable or someone in your house just has to have it, at least turn off these so-called news channels. Cable is for democrats and republicans. OWS should be for everyone else IMHO. Except for Ron Paul supporters I suppose. I just discovered that democrats are spamming for Ron Paul like crazy on Youtube. You think all these Ron Paul 2012 people are for Ron Paul? Payback for Nadar in 2000. HaHa. I voted for Nadar so I'm OK with that. Bush was my fault, yes, but I'm not Merlin with a crystal ball. Sorry if my posts can be provocative but I'm not the only moron in this country. We're everywhere.

[-] 1 points by DanielBarton (1345) 12 years ago

no its fine that is completely valid. If the cable companies were more flexible or if there was more we would have a better system.

I personally like day time news and i mean news no political talk

A) Anyone knows that this is what happens when you put a pro against a novice in interviews, when there is a desired outcome.

B) I know plenty of conservatives that think FOX is a joke.

C) No one speaks for the GA.

"require all school districts to provide abstinence-only sex education". That's wrong, but hardly anti women's rights.

What do you want to see, your (D)umbocrat pay stub? All of your posts are the same, with the same cute little nicknames over and over. You're probably a team of interns sharing a pc at the DNC. OWS is not about political parties, so aim higher. Like (D)umbocrats will make any difference.

Let's just round it off to a thousand. That's what (R)epelicant's do.

They take away individual rights. Plus the jerks raise your taxes and create really HUGE government.

I want YOU to prove what YOU say.

Until you do, you are a babe lost in someone elses words as well.

Show me the 916 bills.

Show me the ALEC equivalent.

Show me Dems usurping duly elected representatives.

Until you can do that, all your words are BS.

[+] -4 points by redackdid (-41) 12 years ago

People need the freedom and liberty to build a private sector corporation to become rich,independent and live the American dream. People don't need over regulation,overly intrusive and overly taxing Government to shackle them with trillions of debt and freedom choking anti-private sector Dictators like Obama and the Dems. I don't believe in silencing you,I want you to speak your mind and show everyone just what America is facing and how Leftist indoctrination has destroyed the minds of so many people.

You are extremely confused as to the Govt's role in America,you seem to think of the Govt. as a nanny and provider. This is why I say you are propagandized and woefully uninformed. You are wrong on every point you try to make,you're spouting Liberal/Progressive talking points and propaganda.

[-] 1 points by VQkag (930) 12 years ago

Govt of, for & by the people! period. corps must be watched/regulated because otherwise they poison us, exploit us, take advantage of us in the name of profit. they have no regard for people. And we just say well they aren't supposed to. well of course they have to think of people. but they don't. so there must be regulations. corps should count their lucky stars we let them do business in this greatest of all middle class sales markets. It is a priviledge to do business here. not a right. Corp serve the people! We decide. through our gov!! Support OWS!! Vote out big corp enslaved politicians.

[+] -4 points by redackdid (-41) 12 years ago

If you and OWS have your way and empower this Govt. with the kind of regulatory and taxing authority that OWS is asking for,there will not be the freedom and liberty as the Founders intended and it will no longer be a Govt. by and for the people but a Dictatorship and a Tyranny. You need to smarten up and connect the dots.

red-ack-did. Where have you been living?

The government has always had the power of taxation - you for some reason are screaming because it is being argued to apply it properly to the wealthy.

Regulations have always been required - it was the repeal of Glass-Stegall that opened the door to our current economic failure. You know - letting WallStreet run wild?

The dots have been connected and the greedy corrupt criminals are the face that has apeared.

Hence the movements against them.

Enjoy a slice of reality.

[-] -3 points by redackdid (-41) 12 years ago

I see,you can't differentiate between levels of taxation and regulation in your simple mind it's all the same. What a Gump.
