This is a link to an extreme conservative blog by someone who signs himself GEKKO. (Ring any Wall Street bells?)
He loathes OWS.
Do you people know the meaning of the phrase "taking the piss"?
3 ok, the rest are vague and not very well thought out!
I love the first four.
More libertarian propaganda. The single greatest threat to liberty is wealth-based oligarchy. "Securing property rights" in the libertarian context means protecting the 1%.
Hear! Hear!
That's not fair...the first four are great ideas.
But they are worthless without mechanisms to fairly distribute wealth. They are being used in this context to subvert our goals.
I completely disagree. They are not being used to subvert our goals...Number 3 is exactly what we want. I think money is extremely complicated and this individual with his #1 and 2 seems to understand and have a good plan for what to do to reform the monetary system in this country. Although number 5 admittedly will probably not receive a consensus here.
Why is there so much libertarian BS in the putative demands from the equally putative OWS?
Let's get something straight. Libertarians LOVE the kind of casino capitalism that led us into our present mess. Libertarians HATE all taxes and HATE helping the poor through government interventions. Libertarians want to end Social Security and Medicare.
Libertarians are EXTREME conservatives who just happen to smoke pot.
They're not cool.
Don't be hoodwinked.
