Occupy Wall Street Video
I found this funny. So many contradictions and plenty of Marxist literature!

They are not losers if they are standing up for what they believe in and trying to get the ball rolling to improve things. I would say more but I do not mind arguing and bickering but I refuse to throw insults around.

If your cause is not just, you should not be commended for believing in it.

If Mike can ever go a day without using the word "Marxist," I'll donate a thousand bucks to a fundamentalist Christian church.
That said, I see these guys as the liberal Tea Party. What is it? A bunch of uninformed, largely uneducated people with a political agenda just standing around, making noise, being seen for the sake of being seen. What's their message? "Hey. Stuff is messed up. Somebody un-mess-up the stuff! Hulk angry!" Gee, how compelling. And they're just as likely to get their message across as were the people at all those Tea Party rallies. Only I bet they have fewer tri-corner hats and more veggie wraps.

Did you watch the video? Sorry for pointing out something that was in the video. Also, go ahead and show me the last time I used Marxist. I'll bet you 100 Card Cash it hasn't been recently. Apparently, you hear Marxist in your head because I haven't used it in months if not years. But I'll wait for your response. :)

I don't mind the movement, if it has a point. There are sectors of Wall Street that continually avoid regulation, and our best and brightest go to work for these big banks and use their genius to come up with complex investment vehicles that have no social value. Wall Street is still problematic to Main Street.
That being said, the issue I have with Occupy Wall Street is its lack of organization and completely opaque message. I mean, some of these people just want to have all their debts wiped away? How unbelievably self-serving. I pay bills every month for my $20K+ college loans, and while the interest rates skyrocketed during my college tenure to unreasonable levels, I still pay it. I EARNED that debt. I knew what I was getting myself into, and made a conscious choice to absorb that debt. Nobody should pay it for me. That's just insane.

The protesters for the most part have no clear message. Like Stalin said, they are useful idiots. The organizers are interested in crumbling the entire system. They are marxists and anarchists.

It just makes no sense to me. I'm all for protesting injustices, and I do think that there are lots of injustices on Wall Street. They're not all Boy Scouts. But man, if I'm going to try to change something that I feel is wrong, you better believe that I'd go into it with a DEFINED plan of change in mind. Not, "Pay off all my debts and give me all your money".
