Sounds like Communism re-born to me. The Proletariat seems intent on bringing Communism back it appears.

A perfect example of "talkingt to the hand". Wall Street didn't write the failed policy thatgot us here, it was the White House. Take your protests to 1600 Pennsylvania Blvd where you are venting at the cause of the problem and the ones who should fix it.

Wonder if the oil industry ever really wanted to see the country recover. Two days after Election Day 2010, when it was clear that the Republican'ts had a majority in Congress, the price of gasoline took off for $ 4.00 a gallon. Profits first, country well being last.

While it's obvious the protesters are disorganized it's clear they, as well as a lot of people who are not taking part in the protests, are unhappy with the way the economy is faring and they not unreasonably place blame on Wall Street and the banks for their part in it. It's undeniable that the banks are partly responsible for the economic downturn we're all experienceing and it's also true that the very rich have not been paying their fair share in taxes for a long time. I don't see how that equates to the endless repetition of that old conservative line "it's jsut people who want something for nothing" or "It's just those democrats/liberals, (etc.) who want to be taken care of without working for what they get." Nothing could be further from the truth. I have never heard a Dem ever say they want to be taken care of without working-that's just right wing yammering and pure invention on the part of ultra conservatives who feel any worker's rights, union activity, or fair treatment of workers and taxpayers is a pink commie plot against us. It's nonsense and it's the same crap that we got from McCarthy and his minions.

Stop repeating the right wing lies and stop listening to Limbaugh and start thinking for yourself. Evaluate events based on fact not fiction.

To all the adults out there, you have to admit that this is the most hilarious protest movement in history!If you go to youtube and watch the videos, you will think that it's an SNL skit. I can't wait for the rain and snow to come. To all the protesters out there, please keep it up, the whole world is watching and laughing at you! Now that's entertainment! :-)

I'm a long time conservative Republican who is disgusted with the free passes given to the destroyers of the US economy.

No one has been held accountable for the destruction of the US housing and mortgage markets even though there are well documented paper trails demonstrating blatant criminal acticity by legions of brokers, analysts and investment bankers.

One has to wonder why there have been no prosecutions / convictions of the perps for the criminal behaviors causing the housing and mortgage markets' meltdowns.

It is absolutely disgusting!
