They certainly talk like they may be outraged but my guess is over half are happy OWS is picking on Wall Street and not Congress.

Just so you know President Obama is worth $11.5M

But you go right on protesting Wall Street, your elected Congress and President are laughing all the way to the BANK! LOL

OCCUPY WALL STREET is not misguided just because you do not agree with them. They have different goals than the Tea Party.

Tea Party wants to shut down Washington. Go ahead it that floats your boat. I don't think you have the guts to try that.

OWS has a better agenda in mind. They do not begrudge someone obtaining the wealth to run for congress. Yes it does take a boat load of money.

As long as they pay their fair share in taxes I am good with it.

Monstman you got more shit than a herd of Buffalo Bobs!

You need to start reading up on current events. You seem to be a bit off or do you normally reject reality and substitute your own?

Here's the breakdown princess,

1. I don't disagree with OWS just who they're targeting.
2. The Tea Party, which I don't support, is not trying to shut down Washington. Just their out of control spending.
3. Over half of Congress is in the 1%, exactly OWS talking point for protest, but they must be geographically challenged because the people that control Wall Street are a little to the south.
4. I was under the impression no one in the 1% pays their fair share. Isn't that a liberal talking point?

Now try some cream for that feminine itch MonistatMan.

As long as they pay their fair share in taxes I am good with it.

Isn't it an irony that the only man in the world who could've made that happen when his party controlled congress for two years endorses the OWS? LOL

Tedly, where did the three you mentioned make their money and grow their wealth? I'm curious because I think it might be somewhere close to where the OWS protests are.

If bin Ladens attack were "real" he would have nuked congress.

monstaman...teaparty does not want to shut down washington...thats just libfux rhetoric...but keep using it if you feel the need, but its not the truth. not from the ones I am associated with anyway.

BUT if some filthy parasite were to come out and say something like

AND YOU TOO barry obama who took more from wall street than anyone and yell it out at the white house...THEN maybe we can talk about it.

AND MAYBE if they got a permit, did what the police and city SAY they should according to the elected reps and the city laws and things..

AND if they werent doing ilegal shit and stuff

AND if they didnt drive off local business and trash the public areas..
THEN we might be able to talk..

but without some of that

fuckem.

"AND MAYBE if they got a permit, did what the police and city SAY they should according to the elected reps and the city laws and things.."

If anyone tries to limit your 2nd amendment rights the right screams like a stuck pig but if cities, states, federal government, police, etc. limit your 1st amendment rights it's ok???

Utter bull shit. We have a Constitutional Right to protest and not only in polite, obedient ways.

For every permit the OWS protesters have to get then I think another rule for gun owners ought to be legislated. If the 1st amendment isn't worth protecting then the rest of them are even less worth protecting. It's the 1st Amendment for a good reason, it was not an accident.

PERFECT..thank you so much for vaildating EVERY SINGLE POST about the left and its 'alinsky' modus operandi and how the rule of law MEANS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO YOU OBAMADUPES !!!!!!

you do NOT have a right to destroy private business which happens everytime some ows makes a move

YOU DO NOT HAVE A right to disturb the peace or destroy property or any number of things these parasitic trash are doing such as ILLEGAL drugs and such.

YOU DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT to do AnYTHING that abuses ANY RIGHTS I or others may have which happens here daily.

as in,..the mayor of oakland was DOING THE JOB SHE WAs ELECTED TO DO...

(oops...sorry for all the CAPS....a simple 'celisary moment'...)

AGAIN.....YOUR RIGHTS END where mine begin

HEY I think I can get a song out of that.

HEY TOBY KEITH....check your mail in a couple of days

For every permit applied for, they should have to show a tax return- if they paid in, they can have a seat and discuss their issues- if not- toss them out and they can come back when they actually have a dog in the fight.

Danni, you got a link to support your claim of a constitutional right to form an angry mob?

of course she doesnt...she just got all excited about it....all of your ex hippy anti war folks are just looking for an excuse to bring out the bongos and the bongs :)

HEY daNNi....Ive got some tied dyed shirts and bell bottom pants I can send you...well I sTILL wear the pants .. :)

Tedly, where did the three you mentioned make their money and grow their wealth? I'm curious because I think it might be somewhere close to where the OWS protests are.

Daniel 3 the article is somewhat sketchy but indicates the the majority of their wealth may be in their homes overall but does not go into detail. The article I got stating Obama's net worth gives more on him such as his book, and Michelle's net worth.

If you're implying Wall Street is responsible for the Congressmen/women's wealth you would no doubt be indirectly correct. But again you would think if Congress were representative of the people then only 1% of Congress would be in the top 1% of American wealth. The fact that 95% of Congress is in the top 10% of American wealth suggests that the members of Congress are OK with the current wealth distribution in the US.

This leads me to think of two possible conclusions,
1. Wall Street continues to purchase Congress, both Democrat and Republican, to avoid Congressional scrutiny and tougher regulations.

and/or
2. Congress is nodding and calmly stroking OWS hoping they get cold and hungry and go home soon before they realize where the problem truly lies.

The simple answer to solving both 1 and 2 would to be an unlimited nation wide work shut down until President Obama steps down and lets Joe Biden take over. Biden would be prevented from doing anything until Wall Street is re-regulate to the Liberal satisfaction and all men will truly be equal, at least in a wealthy kind of way.

Tell Me Daniel 3, is that what you're willing to do or should the protesters at OWS and the other cities around the US just keep doing what they're doing until they get cold, hungry, and go home and look for jobs?

So you are all for giving the tea party people back all the money for all the permits that they peacfully and lawfully obtained in a civilized manor? Including refunding them for the time that they spent like actual human beings in following the established procedures?

Here's some more Congressional net worth's,

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) saw her net worth rise 62 percent last year, cementing her status as one of the wealthiest members of Congress.

Pelosi was worth at least $35.2 million in the 2010 calendar year, according to a financial disclosure report released Wednesday. She reported a minimum of $43.4 million in assets and about $8.2 million in liabilities.

Wonder where all that money came from?

I'lls Tells Ya.

Pelosi saw her wealth rise due to some smart stock picks and real estate investments made by her husband, Paul.

Apple stock owned by Paul Pelosi rose from at least $500,000 in 2009 to $1 million in 2010. The minority leader's husband also took a bigger stake in Matthews International Capital Management, worth at least $5 million last year, compared to $1 million in 2009. Paul Pelosi's investment in some undeveloped residential real estate in Sacramento, Calif., jumped to at least $5 million in value.

Paul Pelosi also has sizable assets in the United Football League, including $1 million in a partnership interest in a Jacksonville, Fla., franchise and $5 million in a partnership interest for the Sacramento Lions.

I don't think the Liberal OWS gang will see much help from this fine upstanding citizens and congressional member.

Let see, maybe Frank Lautenberg will help...

Senator Frank Lautenberg (D - New Jersey)
Net Worth: Between $49 million and $105 million

Source of Wealth: Founder of the data-processing company ADP; his wife also has significant assets from a range of trusts and real estate investments.

Portfolio: Notable financial moves include purchase of several million dollars' worth of bonds by one of his wife's trusts.

From 2009 to 2010, Lautenberg changed the way he filed his personal finances, making it more difficult to distinguish his wealth from his wife's...

But in 2009, he reportedly claimed $105 million in assets alone.

Nope I don't think he has any complaints with Wall Street.

I know Jared Polis he's our man if he wont help us who else can?

Rep. Jared Polis (D Colorado)
Net Worth: Between $36 million and $285 million

Source of Wealth: A dot-com millionaire through his Internet entrepreneurship and founding of dozens of extremely successful companies such as American Information Systems, an Internet access and web hosting service.

Portfolio: Notable finances include 21 reported assets with a value between $1 million and $5 million, two between $5 million and $25 million, and one between $25 million and $50 million...

In 2009, Polis reported a Goldman Sachs bank deposit worth at least $25 million. He expanded his family's Blue Mountain Arts greeting cards and publishing business online, and sold the company in 1999 for $780.
He also founded ProFlowers, an online florist which later became Provide Commerce and was then sold to Liberty Media in 2006 for $477 million.

Damn but I think Polis is real happy just the way wall street is. Don't foresee any help from Colorado.

Lets try one more...

Senator Mark Warner (Democrat Virginia)
Net Worth: Between $65 million and $285 million

Source of Wealth: Investing in telecommunications in the 1980s and being co-founder of Nextel Communications, which had 20 million subscribers in the U.S. when it was purchased by Sprint (NYSE: S)

Portfolio: More than two dozen assets worth $1million to $5 million
Three investment funds worth at least $5 million each.

In 2009, made seven stock purchases worth more than $1 million each and 12 stock sales worth more than $1 million.

Well crapola, My guess is Congressman Mark Warner is just tickled pink the way Wall Street works and doubt he will be of much help to OWS.

Maybe later I'll start in on the Republican Congressional members.

Just about every member of Congress is part of the 1%, very few Wall Streeters are part of the 1%.

That said we have a beef with the 1% so lets go where there is a small concentration of 1 percenters.

It does seem rather foolish to OWS when they should be Occupying Pennsylvania Ave. I suspect if a Republican was in the White House this wouldn't even be an issue.

The corporate?Wall St. crooks own the crooks in Congress. It is all connected. Why would you compartmentalize them as one doesn't go hand in hand with the other?

I've always thought that the OWS protestors' hearts were in the right place but their bodies weren't.

They should be protesting at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and on Capitol Hill. (I know, I know, my past logistics were off a bit :0))

Corporate undermining of our political process wouldn't exist without corruptible political leaders. It takes two to tango.

Corporate and Wall Street do more than go "hand in hand" together.

One hand also wa$he$ the other.

----------------
That's like saying we have a beef with Ford but are protesting GM, their all connected because their cars so it doesn't matter.

Again they have a beef with the 1%, all off Congress is a member of the 1%, only a small % of WS is a part of the 1%.

It comes across as being dishonest and not having a clue.

Wall Street doesn't write the laws, they lobby for them. Congress on the other hand takes the Lobbyist's bribes and writes the rules.

Who do you think will be more susceptible to pressure from the people concerning changing the rules?

Wall Street whose employers are wealthier Wall Streeters or Congress who through the vote process answer ultimately to the people?

Now as I have stated,
1. If you want no change keep protesting Wall Street.
2. If you don't mind slow change, protest Washington.
3. For the quickest change, shut down all production and tell Obama to step down and let Biden take over.

Tell me, which is the lesser of the 3 evils?

Congress has done such a good job, they deserve it!

2. The Tea Party, which I don't support, is not trying to shut down Washington. Just Democrats' spending.

FTFY, in case you forgot the baggers voted for deficits don't matter Bush.

Finest government money can buy.

the people that control Washington are a little to the north.

FTFY

4. I was under the impression no one in the 1% pays their fair share. Isn't that a liberal talking point?

I was under the impression no one in the 47% pays their fair share. Isn't that a conservative talking point?

No that would be fact, just replace fair share with federal income tax.
for talking points see Danni, Corky, Darth, Axe etc..

#17 Danni doesn't read posts that she disagrees with, she ignores them!

Doesn't matter what her side says, she believes they are pure and their thoughts are all AOK.

Lets call out the left today!!

JON CORZINE DEMOCRAT GOV OF NJ and mentioned successor(9.30.2008 CNBC) to Tim Geithner ran MF Global, who allegedly stole 600 million ++ from client accounts. How proud of you OF YOUR MAN? And his malfeasance.

Does he 'bother' you danni? Or like Jon Edwards, you just ignore such contradictory information??

re #10

You NEED the 2nd Amendment in order to preserve the 1st Amendment.

Just Democrats' spending.

Because we all know the left has never tried to shut down bills or spending associated with the Right. Right?

Finest government money can buy.

#32 | POSTED BY WHATSLEFT

Where I am guilty of using Conservative talking points it isn't all that often and this one of 47% is one I've never used.

My appologies for being right of perfect.

[ Comrades! ]

Why don't these political capitalist cruds retire.

They haven't done jackshit for the working man.

There are now more people unemployed than 1929.

Leave the job to someone else who can do it better and who could use the money.

Tedly-you must be making that stuff up-Democrats can't be successful businessmen, they hate business.

Just so you know President Obama is worth $11.5M

That's about half what Dickless Cheney got as a retirement bonus when he left Halliburton after 4 years. The Bushies are worth a couple hundred million, at the least. Gotta love them saudi alquedians and the Americans who died to get Herbie's Carlyle Group those contracts. And then there's Romney....

North, whats your point?

You've obviously missed mine which is if today's have not's feel the need to protest at least do a little more research than they have spewing out Wall Street, 1%, Business bad, rhetoric.

If the OWS croud and MonistatMan are expecting help from Washington then they are in for a rude awakening.

But you go on and keep feed they're idiocy NorthGuy it will help cement your place in History right beneath Danni, and and as always a wannabe Doc Sarvis.

We cool?

Finally! A have not catches on!

You righties are funny. You are pro-business, pro-capitalist but spit bile at a successful democratic congressperson. You complain about permits and costs of your well armed protest yet did not truly understand your rights under the Constitution so you now want to take that right away from others. You deride the characterization of your Tea Party yet willingly attempt to marginalize the OWS.

How does it feel to be a useful tool?

Fair Share is equal percentage or equal dallar amount. NOT whatever it takes to break them and make me feel good.

Only 53% of US citizens pay taxes. That means 47% are not paying their fair share.

"You deride the characterization of your Tea Party yet willingly attempt to marginalize the OWS."

Hahaha!!!! The lsm and the left find one coherent point from one OWSer and pretend they ALL are coherent! The left finds one off the wall Tea Party participant and act they all are lunatics!

HYPOCRITE!!!!

Every dime of spare change around DC should be in a mutual fund run by a tiny set of Trustees who are the only ones legally allowed to see the "blind" trusts of Congress.

SS & Medicare would be flush in an eyeblink.
