Occupy Wallstreet

umm, no. people are protesting because they are tired of being exploited by this non-rewarding system. they are allowed to protest, and it has nothing to do with the type of economic system in place, it has to do with the type of government in place.

not sure why HudsonFalcon is getting socialism confused with “communist” Russia; when that was actually led by a DICTATOR, and that wasn’t even a communist country to begin with. This world has never seen a true communist country ever, and it never will.

Also, if you get rid of the people who are being exploited by this system, guess what happens then, all the middle-management types will now lose their job titles and status and be forced to work in the lower type jobs. A capitalistic society NEEDS to have more people at the bottom of the barrel being exploited for it to work. In capitalism, it wouldn’t make sense to have everyone rich or middle class, it just doesn’t work that way.

the people that work the hardest, get exploited by this system and get paid the least. And these people are getting tired of not being able to live anymore. They are working 40+ hours a week and can barely afford to pay rent, eat food, and have transportation to and from work. It’s a shame that the right-wing media and super elites are calling the lower classes lazy, and deadbeats when in fact they are the ones who sacrifice so that they CEO of XX company can have his nice bonus, get a 3rd house, all while the worker can’t eat dinner on Monday nights.

I personally work 60 hours a week now and for a lot less than I used to (thanks Federal Reserve, Corporate Banks, Wall St), I have no benefits, and it sucks.

The reason for the decline is due to corporate greed, deregulation of banking and finance industries and the federal reserve doing what they please seeing that they aren’t a gov’t agency and are above and answer to no one. We bail out the rich and bankers. The first major ($100 B+) starting with the Keating 5, and we reward businesses and wall st, whether or not they are successful or failing. Is that capitalism right there? No, it’s not.
