All of you run the 99 % thats the point. The point is to quit letting one percent tell you what to do. This mentality is going to be harder to break than getting a meth head off the glass. Please quit looking for a voice.... You are the voice... Don't be afraid. OWS understands it u will too
My life hasn't stopped..... You are crazy lol
An idea can't be hijacked. It is a part of our soul
I don't want to pretend to know a lot on this subject it is far out of my realm, it just bugs me when people complain complain complain. I am just a doctor (poor compared my fellow Ivy League graduates). And in terms of income I too am the 99%, just like all those protesters. That being said, I work my ass off and I love my life. Things are great. Being the 99% in America (Ill admit I am now in Canada) isn't that bad. Pull up your bootstrings and look around (at other countries for example), you'll see that it ain't so bad!
Yep I'm lucky. At least I got a job But I'm going to fight for more. People deserve more. The top percent need money too but it shouldn't be at everybody else's expense
Just so we are all aware: The 99th percentile in income corresponds to around $402,000 per year. I would hazard a guess that most of the people who have enough spare time to sit around and protest instead of get on with working hard to improve their lives make far less than this, I would say they are more like the bottom 45%.
Um I'm not pointing out what the median income im sure that 50% of the public don't make over that number I wish it was that evenly distributed. And if u are implying I dont work hard u are mistaken. I have a bachelors degree in elementary education I was very good teacher til I got laid off. Now I drive truck and spend two weeks at time away from my family. I spent 8 yrs in the USMC I can't work any harder. I graduated college with a 3.92 gpa. It seems the harder I work the less I make. This is why I'm fighting
Agree... >quit looking for a leader and take responsibility and be the change you want to see. until you wake up, we will fight for you.<
sorry, i do know exactly what feudalism is. You trying to talk about its main features and then say that other features of feudalism are not the feudalism is silly. The dominant or single most relevant point is land ownership, certainly, but there are other features of feudalism, one of which is most certainly taxes, and to the point, by definition taxation as such begins in feudal systems. It is remarkably futile and silly to argue with me. It would be wiser to stop and take your opportunity to chat with the DJIN. capitalism is ALSO a system which has NEVER existed.
the core issues; 1. Corporate Personhood. 2. Caste Warfare; they started it. 3. Its legal to lie to the USA public. 4. They are OUR airwaves. They should be used for WETHEPEOPLE not leased by the government to corporations. Put Local colleges in charge of all the media. Arrest and seize all mass media devices and then give those devices straight out to the local colleges, including the land they sit on. We need education public media; not legalized lying and propaganda wars against the people. 5. Education reform. Everyones being kept stupid and ignorant on purpose in school and repugnicons want to argue about how to pay or punish teachers. We need child centered education reform, not a con scam to privatize education and thus score all our children for corporate zombotification. 6. Free market system. Not slave market system. Not caste market system. Not Caste warfare market system. Not rigged Casino. Not making something off of nothing and making bubbles to grease a gravy train either. Free market system. We must have one of those. Its time to have one of those. We have NEVER YET had one of those. 7. Realistic regulation of the government to regulate and control corporations so that what they do is fair and just and ethical and under control instead of a parade of unleashed godzillas turning the masses into to toe jam. 8. Real and direct representation, including no more lobbying, and including an evolutionary use of the internet with organized forums and wikis replacing the old style of congressional/ mayoral office.
"Right, but that still doesn't preclude taxation, which is in fact necessary to regulate the value of money"
nope. taxation period of any kind is merely and only a means to the end of creating a caste system. And even deeper, taxation dynamically entropizes a system, so its not only not necessary to regulate money, its the single largest entropic contributor to the system. The ONLY reason why we pay taxes is thats the feudal system; the idea that we pay anything remotely approaching the same thing or fair to what the rich pay is preposterous. The whole point of taxes is to distribute wealth from the poor to the rich. period.

"the end goal product should be that every small community takes care of its own. Any federal system is a problem definition of something requiring more serious attention to solve. long term social programs managed by nation sized meta entities is a disaster not only socially and civilly but to the people who get third rate borg social services. A well functioning system does not need a welfare system, it only has a highly evolved net which catches people and only involves less than one percent of the population at any given time, not punishing but rehabing and educating folks. Until such time as that end goal is achieved, no hand outs is a paradox... you have to spend time and thus money in order to fix the problems till their fixed past needing time or money."
"Why aren't u in office???"

"Understood we need more ideas then politicians anyway. The fixes are so simple but so difficult to get implemented."
