I keep hearing about you wanting to place "Demands" on the US financial markets, banks and the government; here's a DEMAND from the hard working Republicans: Get Your Smelly Ass Out of My Town!
Right ill go back to school and get my degree and become a lawyer or lobbyist so I too can learn how to outsmart the system of checks and balances that were created to prevent me from stealing millions or billions from the companies that employ all of those smelly middle class americans and then turn around and tell them to get out of the town I stole fair and square right?......... Fuck you. its not about being smart or how many degrees you get or how many politicians you can buy its about being fair and telling the politicians to stop allowing people like YOU from undermining our right to a free and democratic existance so why don't you take your greedy ass out of OUR town becuase you smell like GREED
i agree
with josh1984
Thanks :)
True
Here Here!
what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
I think stealing lines (verbatim) from Billy Madison only proves that you're just worthless pieces of slime that can't contribute a single original thought to any discussion. Go ahead. Look up what I posted. I didn't steal it from anything because I am an honest human being and you are a disgrace to America.
Stop making others suffer because of a few. You know NOTHING about business. You know NOTHING about what it means to create jobs or employ people. You know NOTHING about what it means to create something. You my friend are worthless, because you provide NO WORTH to this country.
Stop making others suffer because of a few. You know NOTHING about business. You know NOTHING about what it means to create jobs or employ people. You know NOTHING about what it means to create something. You my friend are worthless, because you provide NO WORTH to this country.
Stop making excuses for yourself. You're a disgusting piece of trash that is way too lazy to fight for your rights. These protesters have been maced and arrested and you sit back on your couch and sponge off the rights they are fighting to keep. Our forefathers would be disgusted with you, You are a worthless traitor to America.
I'm not making excuses for anyone. You're making fucking excuses, you worthless fucking piece of trash. My forefathers would be FUCKING DISGUSTED by the people who FAIL to take responsibility for their own lives, and their actions, and instead try to speak for others. You're the fucking disgrace.
P.S. I don't fucking sit on my couch, that's the difference between you and I.
"My forefathers would be FUCKING DISGUSTED by the people who FAIL to take responsibility for their own lives" That's EXACTLY what I said. Also, that is EXACTLY what makes you a piece of filth. When our forefathers were getting exploited by East India Company, they didn't go around preaching about how the free market will regulate itself. They went to the docks and threw the fucking tea in the ocean. You're just a coward and a disgusting excuse for an American. Everything you believe in just a corporate-sponsored facade. WAKE THE FUCK UP!
Great fucking analogy, idiot. You don't know what the fuck you are talking about. Corporat-sponsored facade? Talk about needing to get off the couch. Why don't you try starting and running a business. When Uncle Sam comes knocking at your door asking for your profit, come back and talk to me you fucking piece of SHIT.
Obviously, you should neither be in business or America. Your business model is apparently so shitty that you need to bitch and whine when it comes time to pay taxes. I hope your shitty business can just fail sooner so better ideas can expand faster. Ones that are strong enough to survive taxes without bitching and whining. Also, you have further proven how unpatriotic you are so much as you just want to take from America but when it comes time to give something back, you bitch and whine about it.
The difference between you and I is that your ideas are developed from what is spoon fed to you on TV and in the news. I've learned what I have based on true life experience. When it comes to regulation or taxes, people like you don't know where to STOP. There's no LINE. You just keep going and going, until business are bled dry. You're a blood sucker.
The difference between you and me is that I don't spend my whole life bitching about taxes. Probably because I am successful regardless while you are a greedy loser that will always feel treated unfairly no matter what happens. And there is a line you dumb fuck. Nobody said there isn't. The line has moved in your direction more and more over the past few decades in regards to taxes and all you've done is bitch and moan even more that it isn't enough. Whenever someone suggests we move it back, you whine like fucking teenage girl. How much less must you be taxed to be successful?? Because I have 2 houses and make 6 figures a year and I think it's only fair that we give back a little more when the less fortunate are most in need. You are a selfish unamerican piece of trash that needs to leave this country that you hate so much.
You don't have 2 house, or make 6 figures.
lolz. What's pathetic about you people is that you can't reconcile those of us that are both successful and support this movement. Because you already painted such a narrow worldview that your ego protects. In other words, you're slime. The fact that you can't believe what I've earned only proves this.
Who's got the ego Mr. Success?
Huh wow I didn't realize you retained the power to award points please forgive me I will kiss much asshole for ur many points
You have been forgiven
Ok care to tell us exactly what u didn't understand or do u find it too conveniant to hide behind your vague generalities in other words to be more coherent what part of my response did you find hard to process or is it just the English language in general you have to be more specific I know its hard but u cam do it
How is anyone undermining your right to free and democratic exsistance? You're an idiot. You're free ,you FUCK HEAD. Go do something about it.
Compared to China or Afghanistan then yes I am free compared to the standard that claims to offer me education and employment as long as I play by the rules as made by those who for example offer student loans at an adjustable rate and then upon graduation jack my interstate rate up so much to the point that I can never pay off the prinicple but instead am forced to pay off a lifelong series of interest payments then no I'm not free. As for doing something about it well we are trying right now there are a lot of people on wallstreet trying to do something about it it would be easier if you could articulate logical sentences that make sense "fuckhead" not being one of them.
Banks are a business, not a charity. If you don't want to play by their rules, nobody is forcing you too. Stop borrowing money, and start earning it.
By doing someting about it, I mean stop blaming corporations for YOUR mistakes, and take responsibility for yourself. Maybe you should have tried earning your way through college, instead of borrowing your way through college.
I, like many others, have students loans with adjustable rates that I will paying off for many years. Rather then blame the banks for my mistakes, I will be teaching my children fiscal responsbility.
So you don't see anything predatorial about the way sallie Mae conducts their school loan practices I find that hard to believe unless u work for them or u are that supid. As for playing by the rules I would love to except for those in power keep wanting to rig the rules in their favor u hqve to be blind not to see this going in just look at the list of demands but its okay becuase your system will fail just wait and see
You don't even know what you are talking about. Again, generalization. I'm sure after you read this, you'll Google whatever you can, and print here what you read somewhere else.
How has your "right" to "free and democratic existence" been "undermined"? I mean that honestly, I really want to understand what is stopping you from your right to life or your freedom?
What if I want to own a mansion and a yaucht and a golf course would I go to college and get a degree so I can get a good job and make lots of money nope sorry maybe you haven't noticed but these jobs don't exist anymore its called financial fascism and if I don't agree with your tactics of stealing money from everybody else via wallstreet or d.c. then yes my right to a free and democratic existence is threatened duh or don't you watch television you silly goose
Josh is absolutley right. The financial facist regim has been in existence for the past 30yrs. It started with yuppies on wallstreet and slowly started milking the American middle class dry with apr loans,over the top interest rates on loans of any kind,CBI's, fees on atm cards and bank accounts. That is political fascism.
Hey Josh...rich doesn't mean you have to own a mansion or yacht. Ever think about being rich in principles and values. This means, if you want something, you have to earn it and not take it from someone else. Do you know this country is approaching 15 TRILLION DOLLARS of debt. Why is this Wall Street's fault? It's big government and liberals like you. Pay your student loan and get to work.
Come on people why am I the only one in here assigned to tend to these republican like zombies they are only multiplying wall street tucked up at the end of 08 that's onereason the economy is fucked as for the debt see the Iraq war for that and I believe that was as a result of another republican Mr George bush jr who was too stupid to see that it was Afghanistan and not Iraq where all the taliban were hiding
Wow, four years of college and you’re just as ignorant as the day you started. See, this is what happens when you listen to liberal professors. They just brainwashed you to believe that capitalism and free market is bad. Why don't you ask your liberal professors to repay your student loan. Tell them you're too stupid to get a job thanks to them.
So negative...why bother spending your time, your life in such a dark place. Everyone has a right to make demands...all over the world In some countries you will get killed for it..even here on certain occasions. But why does it bother you for people to speak up and make demands at something they feel is right? Why are you so angry? Why are many Republicans so angry? If this was 50 years ago you would be demanding the same thing as a political party. SO why not look at your own party's history. I myself am not aligned with any, but many times I try to talk to those, like your self, and think that there may be a kernal of interest- interest to know why people are in pain, suffering, struggling and so on, but you express none. Most of the people who attend OWS are employed, not at one job, or two but sometimes at three places. Most work their butts off and do not have enough for savings, health insurance, or even day to day needs. Do you really think this is ok? Why don't you what to know why this has happened? You are so angry and that is so very sad because the system we have had here for a very long time feeds off of people like you and children will be no different that you raise if you do not educate them on the machinations of the system we live within. My father is 80 he grew up in a time when most of the structures were being conceptualized, in some ways the circumstances today are an expression of a very recent history in other ways they connect to early modern times (15th c) with the creation of the first banks and the trade in goods, the over accumulation of wealth and surplus value...why dont you want to talk about this. DO you think it is really unrelated? The statistics are there for you to read- the United States has the largest separation of wealth in the whole world. Millions live hungary everyday. You don't care about your fellow hard working Americans? why are you so sad and angry and why not come together? OWS leaves room for you but you dont leave room for them? The divide is a construct that you need to learn to see. Good luck and please dont pass such anger on to your children there is enough going around.
shorter.
Maybe u didn't understand what I said the first time (no sarcasm) ill try again I can't get a job because no one is hiring and why is no one hiring because the economy has taken a nose dive why did the economy take a nose dive because some idiot genius in a three piece suit sat around and tried to figure out how to convert triple c and d rated financial products into return garaunteed investments and then sold them to a whole shit load of banks around the country who bought most of them up how did they pay for them? With our money of course so what happened when all those wonderful financial products went belly up......we lost our money as well as most of the local economies around the country thus preventing banks from loaning money to business so they can hire me is that any clearer??
Josh, I'm not sure what it is that you do for a living or what it is that you seek for employment but I can assure you that there are businesses that are hiring, I'm one of them and I employ more than 350 people.
My staff work 40 hour weeks, have access to health, dental, vision, life, disability (short and long) for which I cover 80% of the premium. The first year of employ they have 2 weeks paid vacation + 1 week paid sick. Starting line wages range from $10.00hr to $17.00hr DOE, and yes I still pay Christmas Bonus at a significantly higher rate than a basket of lotions. 50% of my staff have been with me upwards of the 5 years that I've been in business.
The entire country is not corrupt nor is it a lost cause. I'm a small business that takes much pride in the way I do business and the extent that I go to to ensure my staff can make ends meet at home.
Yes, I make a profit too. If that makes me one of the bad guys here then I'll accept that but if you are genuinely interested in working maybe consider a move?
Hey thanks for the reply and I can tell you that you are one of the good guys you are the reason why people can still have hope in the middle class and yes u are right the entire country is not corrupt yet. It just frustrates me when others try and use a double standard to condemn those that are trying to be homestead and do the right thing. Now heres the kicker I personally have a job I actually work for the department of the navy and even though I hate my job I can't quit because of my wife and two kids this whole debate is somethin I just do because I feel passionately for the middle class especially those that have been laid of due to job outsourcing or massive lay-offs becuase the whole company was liquidated as a result of shady wallstreet deals but it doesn't sound like you are involved in any of that so I can appreciate the percentage of small and midsized business owners who operate with pure and selfless motives by the way what business are you in if you don't.kind me asking
I own a property management company that operates 8 Assisted Living and Dementia Care (Alzheimer's) units. We meet and hopefully exceed the needs up more than 500 residents. With any amount of luck at all I'll open my first owned/operated building next Spring.
I'm more than proud of my staff and the work they do. They are the reason that I am successful and I not only recognize that but consider it my responsibility to ensure their lives are better for having done it. Their chosen careers are not easy paths.
I consider myself fortunate in my career and income and even more fortunate to love what I do for a living. To have the opportunity to work with the people I employ gives me resounding joy.
I appreciate them and the work they do.
Assuming that you haventbought yourself a congressman with your profits, it sounds like you are everything this country is about. Thank you.
I can assure you that I haven't bought a congressman. Honestly, I don't think I've ever met one.
That is definitely honorable and worth much praise. i know that unfortunately where I'm from in washington state they have had to consider cutting budgets and take away much needed funding for those kinds of programs. I think that companies like yours are the ones that deserve both tax cuts and funding becuase you provide a service that does good and has a positive affect on our society doesn't it frustrate you to think that while wallstreet gets bailed out education and other important services get axed
It absolutely concerns me, yes.
More than half of my residents are Medicaid Based Residents who can't afford their own long term care needs. I could spend hours and hours talking about that alone but I'll forego that discussion, save for another time.
Last year my buildings sustained an 8% revenue cut as a result of Medicaid Budget cuts. This year we've sustained another 4% revenue cut as a result of more budget cuts. Yes, it's frustrating BUT the only effect those cuts had was a cut in my profit margin. My investors don't make as much as they did in years previous. I don't make as much as I did in years previous.
My residents still receive the quality of care they've come to expect from my buildings. My staff still receives the quality of employment that they've come to expect from me.
Yes, I make less this year. Yes, my investors make less this year. But that's the risk of being a business owner. Just because we've sustained revenue loss this year doesn't mean that 5 years from now it will remain the same.
My position is that these budget cuts are a nationwide necessity in order to balance a tilted federal and state deficit in budgets. It's my responsibility to offer what I can during these economic times to balance these problems.
I don't believe that the Top 5 banks are the problem here. I don't believe that Corporate Greed (although it absolutely exists) is the problem in our Country today.
I believe this OWS movement is a result of frustration because American Business has lost it's morality and responsibilty to care for those who make us a success. Nobody can regulate morality/ethics as it's a character trait. Either the business has it or it doesn't.
I believe our Country has some problems. I still believe those problems can be resolved without civil uprising or standing in the streets protesting. I lead by example and hope that the 350 people that I employ will someday open some of their own businesses and will do something similiar to what I've done. I believe that my 2 children will someday open their own business and will help to change our country by continuing the business ethics that I've taught them.
True that you can't regulate ethics but you can prevent bribary of government officials. Just get corporate money out of politics and make our representatives represent the people who elect them and not the people who pay for their commercials.
I completely agree that corporate america has no business in politics. I believe the Supreme Court's decision to view a Corporation as a person and allow them to donate behind the cloak of a super PAC is outrageous and I can't imagine there are many US Citizens that wouldn't agree.
What I can't agree with are the methods that OWS is utilizing to convey a muttled dissatisfied message(s).
I've spent days trying to educate myself on what this movement is about and trying to determine whether or not it may be something I could support. I've come away from those days not knowing much more than I did when I began my research.
I read pages and pages of propaganda. I've read some outrageous "demands" on this very board. They leave me shaking my head thinking wow, if this group only had a real cause, a real agenda, a real voice they could shake the status quo. The more I read the less I believe that will happen and I'm sorry to see the enthusiasm behind this movement become washed away into nothing.
Only time will tell if I'm wrong in my assumptions here. My opinions are certainly not intended to discredit your position or your hopes for these actions. I do wish you all well in your endeavor but I can't support something that lacks teeth, focus and voice.
What's the alternative. Status quo? You care and you think and as a citizen you have a responsibility to participate. I agree there's nothing to support at this point but any real change is going to messyand a long-term effort. Possibly fruitless, but its too early to throw in the towel. Don't let the crazies and trolls turn you off. Keep pushing.
interesting how angry KissMyRepublicanAss is. Also interesting is that so many people are angry--with many different political opinions.

I recommend simply ignoring these types of posts. This individual is beyond wanting a dialog.
Sure give me a job. I have two degrees and still cannot find work. I know personally 10 different friends who have PHDs, MAsters, and several BA's who are unemployed or work in a Walmart or McDonalds. The rest of them cannot even get those jobs.
Before you bitch about them having art degrees, their degrees are computer engineering, Math, Social and engineering degrees, and marketing.
You want us out of your city!! Give us a job.
Are you bitching about the smell, then offer your house to use your water.
Since you have the money help some of them with their bathing and laundry needs..
Oh that is right you will simply make another sarcastic excuse and just bitch on the forum. So continue to wine and bitch and make yourself feel better KissmyRepublicianAss.
Contribute to something more than being a moron. Humanity deserves better than your banter. These people are trying to improve and change the system.
Silence, Marie Antoinette-go back to eating cake!!
my question to "demands" is always "what are you going to do when they say "no""?
Grow up and get an education.
This is political speech. You don't like it, move. You'd probably like Singapore.
It is assholes like this that require us to move to the next step and take action:

You should be looking at movements/web sties for conservatives, libertarians and republicans. Coincidentally, the same political ideologies which the banks and corporations that the movement is protesting against typically align themselves with.
Watch out for the wording of those that stand in opposition use. They word things in a way that assumes a foundation for their argument.
Enough of the "my country," "this is how things are," "don't like it, get out," "I'm hard working, you're lazy," "your efforts are hopeless" garbage.
It's called ad hominem: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem
And while you're at it, watch out for those who stand in support for the movement - just because we are gaining support doesn't mean this is any time to stop thinking and let others do it for us.
Question everything, it flexes the muscle of the mind.
True, there should be no talk of "demands", and although I'm all in favor of taking down today's ineffective and inefficient Top 10% Management Group of Business & Government, there's only one way to do it – by fighting bankers as bankers ourselves.

end bush tax cuts , rebuild America bridges and roads , invest in middle class not banking class thats the occupy wall street message.
What is it that we are fighting for? The end of Capitalism? American communism? What is with all of the isms?
Let me tell you what I am fighting for. I am fighting for a global economy that is based on all of the natural resources of the planet. I am fighting for a true democracy that is detached from profit-seeking institutions. I am fighting for the principals that America was truly founded upon; not the principals that Michelle Bachman, John Boehner, or Barack Obama understand. I lump all current politicians into one category: evil. Lacking morals. Lacking conscience.
I understand our problems to be so immense that if a true progressive took office he would not muffle them, nor elongate their existence. I do not believe that Barack Obama is fighting for the populous.
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
Viva la Resistance!
To that end: Fuck your Republican ass.
Good job, well done, courage was required and courage was delivered. So far so good. You took this beached like Normandy. Bravo
It is however important to understand that there is far more at stake than meets the eye. It is also imperative to understand at this juncture what your adversary has got to lose, should you win, and prepare yourself for what is going to be thrown at you when your adversary realizes and launches into his first panic knee jerk reaction.
The Lay of the Land
Ridiculous as it may seem, the only mechanism that Government has at its disposal is the continuing application of Keynesian economics. Ridiculous because it requires the government to inject a sufficient amount of liquidity to convince you, that there is no longer a financial/economic crisis.
While this may have worked in previous times when it would take many months for the effect of printing to hit currency exchange rates and in turn real markets, it was old news and forgotten and the crises would be over. In this day and age, Greenspan can break wind and its on twitter before his rectum has cooled.
As a result you are witnessing historic amount of liquidity injection and the consequent cycle of disbelief termed as the “Negative Feedback Loop”.
Long story short, financial jibber jabber aside, at stake are trillions and trillions of dollars of free and easy money which won’t be given up easily.
The Geo-Strategic impacts
Like you and I, people all over the world are trying to break free from a ridiculous system where there is no accountability and injustice and inequality is the norm.
A deep realization is emerging that we are actually not free and shockingly corruption in the system is now culturally expected and accepted, with mere nod and wink to the general population
We are forced to conform to a set of rules, we a force fed politics, legalities and laws that confound us and delay justice while the adversary is free to operate with impunity with no check and once discovered, simply changes the rules and signs them into law.
While the description of the problem is abstract and difficult to absorb, the manifestation of government back scratching, deal making and geo-politicking is very very real indeed.
If you can plot the chain of events that lead to a man forced to stand naked man with a black hood on his head and electrodes connected to his body, right down To the little square of paper 45 million Americans call a food stamp
You will begin to understand two things 1.The world has their best wishes and prayers with you and is watching and praying 2.You are up against a bunch of criminals who have no value for life and property beyond their own
You must not falter
No doubt about it, there is an element of danger, and you will probably have to man up before the end, look at it this way,
If you were in Palestine, you would have had Apache Gunships, F-16s and White Phosphorus artillery blowing the living shit out of you and your children.

Bosses have been demanding stuff from me for most of my career without even paying me, via internships and such. I think I am entitled to demands...lots of them actually, but all I'm asking for is paid, steady work.
Reminds me of a guy I ran into years back when I was protesting a visit by the obstructionist at the time Bob Dole to Omaha, Nebraska. A young Republican who was attending the event took offense at my sign and said, "Why aren't you at work?" Of course, it was perfectly okay for HIM to be there. Some people just have a sense of entitlement . . . and they aren't always liberals either! ; )
Attention seeker.
It's obvious that rational logic and intelligent debate does not work on the majority of uneducated Republican sympathizers...
I for one, therefore, would like to offer up a different approach...
Mr. "KissMyRepublicanAss"
Since you don't believe in reason and logic, would you meet me next Saturday (10-15-11) at Battery Park Manhattan to settle our difference with violent physical confrontation?
I propose neither party bring weapons of any type -- we will just settle this with our own bare hands...
If you insist on weapons, please indicate your weapon of choice, and I will try to accommodate...
Please respond, as I am anxious to settle our differences in the only way that makes sense with your sad ilk....
Respectfully ithinkergoiam
Fuck yeah can I watch ill bring the popcorn and the wet t-shirts
First they Ignore us, then they laugh at us, then they fight us, then we win.
Glad to see the old ways still work.
First of all, I am very supportive of the movement but feel there is a lack of leadership and clear message. I am a foreigner so may not fully grasp how things work in the US, but as anywhere else there has to be a 1% and a 99%. My understanding is that in the US pretty much everyone has a chance to reach the top 1% in terms of income or wealth so would imagine that the problem is not so much how to get there (equal chances etc..) but rather what kind of privileges you suddenly become entilted to once you join the club. I do not think there is a big conspiracy of bankers or even politicians to screw the larger public as such conspiracy would easily become detected. True, bankers have made loads of money when the markets (and the real estate sector) were rising like crazy, and were not required to pay back their bonuses when the same tumbled. But that does not mean such opportunity to screw the system was not available to anybody qualified enough to join the ranks of Wall Street traders. However it sounds unacceptable that middle class tax payers have to pay for investment banks' expansion plans' excesses when things turn sour. I am not qualified to determine whether the failure of one financial institution would endanger the global financial system, but I feel sympathy with middle class taxpayers who will benefit less from their tax contribution to the state and national budgets because they have to contribute to the failure of the ambitious plans of such and such major bank. This being said, I see no reason, absolutely no reason, to be critical of any investment bank, be it in their purpose or the normal conduct of their employees. It is however questionable whether the attitude of the government towards the survival of a particular institution is solely guided by considerations of global financial stability. One might remember that bankers donate equally to democrat and republican campaigns.
This is great... I am hard working (9 to 9 Monday to Saturday) and I am a Christian and I have a degree and I was a small business owner. I am very thankful this is happening. I want to see corporate greed and influence get out of our political system.
BTW, I also want to see GOD, out of our political system. We just need a Christian Leader to stand up for all Christians, that it is blaspheme for anyone to speak about God in a Political Speech, because all of them are lying and misrepresenting God. Jesus didn't endorse Republicans.
BTW, this is the democratic process. The Political Party has been sold. The News media has been sold. Protest is the only option left.
"You Idiots aren't entitled to demands!"... I can already guess from what you are saying, the protesters are probably more than likely more intelligent than you, therefore, if they are not the idiots, who is?? duh. I rank you as smart as Palin. You probably need to go to her website.
agreed, no one is "entitled" to anything.
however, some good can come from this discussion. I say we focus on
One Common Interest: End Corporate Lobbyists
from there all these other issues can be raised, debated, and voted on based on our representative government weighted one vote per one citizen . Corporate lobbyists serve the interests of perhaps 1 in 1,000 of us. with those numbers I can imagine an end to the practice. One issue, one focus nearly all of us will agree on that will open the door to all the other issues being negotiated with our common interest in the forefront.
Hold on KissMy. This is somewhat entertaining. I actually feel bad taking candy from a baby, but these are adults. If anyone did not hear yet, I can send 100 people to North Korea because I have done so well. I think I have one girl interested.
Mr. Hard Working Republican, who are you working for? For yourself at the expense of others?
'KissMyRebulicanAss' you're funny - you obviously don't like Obama, and yet you don't like us protesting Obama. weird. Are you too busy servicing your debt to see what's happening?
We demand JUSTICE for the citizens of this country for the CRIMINAL behavior on Wall St. that stole from taxpaying citizens and the government…
Not only did we BAIL-OUT the big banks, now we learn they’ve been STEALING over the last decade too.
Do you want justice also?

“The lawsuit accuses WELLS FARGO, BANK of AMERICA, J.P. MORGAN CHASE and GMAC Mortgage, of engaging in “a brazen scheme to defraud both our nation’s veterans and the United States treasury” of millions of dollars in connection with home loans guaranteed by the VA."
“This is a very significant case,” Patrick Burns, spokesman for the non-profit Taxpayers Against Fraud, said Tuesday. “It deals with WIDESPREAD FRAUD from VETERANS who were personally pick-pocketed for hundreds if not thousands of dollars, and the liability has been shoved on the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.”
“During the past decade, more than 1.2 MILLION of the refinanced loans made to VETERANS and their families, and up to 90 % may have been affected by the alleged fraud, according to attorneys for the plaintiffs.”

the liability of this fraud has been shoved on the federal government (Dept. of Veteran Affairs).”
NOW the taxpayers have to pay to investigate this fraud!!!
ENOUGH is ENOUGH, justice is HERE… DEMOCRACY LIVES!
Oops sorry to keep posting that last comment I accidentally keep hitting the button I'm trying to navigate this site on my Android (which I would happily give up if I thought it might help contribute to a better society)
Your town? Really!?
Which town would that be?
Right ill go back to school and get my degree and become a lawyer or lobbyist so I too can learn how to outsmart the system of checks and balances that were created to prevent me from stealing millions or billions from the companies that employ all of those smelly middle class americans and then turn around and tell them to get out of the town I stole fair and square right?......... Fuck you. its not about being smart or how many degrees you get or how many politicians you can buy its about being fair and telling the politicians to stop allowing people like YOU from undermining our right to a free and democratic existance so why don't you take your greedy ass out of OUR town becuase you smell like GREED
This comment is beyond stupid. You mean to say that unemployment only happens to Democrats! Please keep working that GED you so desparately need!
Honestly, have an intelligent debate. Don't just fling insults like that.
Unless you are part of the 1%, this movement encompasses your interest too. This isn't about Dem vs. Rep. Its about the fact that money owns our government. This isn't democracy anymore. I believe Republicans values include one man one vote.
Oh is that what your little 'movement' is about? Geez finally, I got a straight answer which doesn't conflict with everybody else. Oh wait, that's the 1248762239832 different answer I've seen on these forums. You guys are amazing you know that? But it's okay, while you guys are enjoying the event, not creating wealth of any kind, I'm working most days of the week (including Saturday) and increasing the chances I'll be able to retire someday and live comfortably.
I am in the 99% too. Being EXTREMELY generous, using million man march math, there are 100,000 protesters in the OWS movement. There are 307,006,550 people living in the US right now. 99% if that number is - 303936484. The 100,000 (using million man march math) protesters in the OWS movement are approximately .03% of that 99%. The hilarity of that 0.03% of the population (being EXTREMELY generous in my estimate of their numbers) having the audacity to say that they speak for the other 98.07% is pretty overwhelming.
Sorry it's not your town. That's a typical Republican reaction. They think they own everything including the lives of others. Sound familiar, as in the voices of all dictators.
my 3 underwater basketweaving degrees say otherwise sir!
What would have happened if ENRON never got caught... or we idly watched and did not bring JUSTICE forward?
may God continue to bless you. May your passion not strain our bonds of affection. peace to you and your family. it sadness me to see our country become anti-intellectual, and you have become anti-liberty. We all have 1 vote. We all have a voice! ##iamthe99percent
