Thoughts on OWS

You mean the Apple electronics that have components from the Czech Republic; hard drives from Thailand; and which are assembled in Taiwan and China? in REI tents from China?

So it's ok to help a big evil corporation if they outsource parts from other countries? What point are you trying to make here?

What is this crap about evil corporations? Just like with voting, we ask for every last little bit they provide, it is called demand, they are services, most are not essentials. You can cut any of them off at the knees in a month to a day, but just like voting, on average people do not want to do this. The real poll is not how many people look at them favorably (the 99%)...it is how many people have stopped doing business with very large companies? The real answer is not many, just like not many people are willing to pay attention when they vote and not many people have respect for other people's money.

Bank accounts, iphones, mcribs are all treats and non essential. Especially big bank accounts, fancy phones and meals you buy out.

Why are people looking down at big banks and then sending all their money to them...me thinks people really actually like the big corps and money talks and bullsh** looks upon ows favorably...but is not there or changing their habits.

kudoos to those that put their money and purchases where their mouth's are, they are the real 99%, without any need to occupy anything, they made better decisions to begin with, rather than making bad one's and bitching later.

I don't like big banks so I don't do business with them and use a credit union.
I don't like restaurant chains so I eat at non-chains when I can. You can do this voluntarily and don't need to protest. Boycotts have been a important tool for hundreds of years.

Just like politicians, corporations can be taken down.

For the record posteryoyo, when I said "evil corporations", I was being sarcastic.

Who are the 1 percent?



Occupy Wall Street protesters have been railing against the Top 1%, trying to raise anger and awareness of the growing economic gap between the rich and everybody else in America.
But just who are these fortunate folks at the top of the income ladder?

These protesters better be stocking up on more warm weather gear and heated drumsticks.

Next time we hear about tea party and racism. Now should we be labeling all Occupiers?

I am NOT going to label all everyone as believing as this guys does.
