Why does the M$M ignore this brewing populist movement but gives so much face time to the tea baggers? Maybe if this movement had a wealthy backer like the Koch brothers the news would bother to cover it besides a passing mention as a 'group of protestors'...if actions spoke louder than words we should all be marching on Wall street,,,
Yeah. Who could righteously complain about those banks' behavior anyway? I think our tax money was well spent on the bailouts - the banks always have our populous' best interest in minds, and the CEOs who drove those banks to failure deserve all of our millions.
You know, If I though this was a serious post last month, I would have said that as consumers, we have the power not to use their services, and shop around.
I think this whole OWS movement is so stupid. They may as well be protesting themselves for their own actions. After all, Wallstreet, and everyone else they claim they are protesting, would never have happened if the so-called 99% were smarter.
That is, if they truly are the 99%.

I'm saying that 99:1 are the odds. If the 99 are so stupid as to be played by the 1%, then who can they blame but themselves?

"If the 99 are so stupid as to be played by the 1%"
As we see with labor, the 1% has achieved their globalization objective to screw Human-Americans out of jobs, to pit Human-Americans against Indians, Chinese, Mexicans. Your solution? It's HA's fault alone because they won't work for Asian salaries. What could the 99% have done about that?
The mind-boggling accumulation of capital through tax cuts, tax evasion, tax avoidance by the 1% has given them immense power to corrupt and control govt to protect and enrich themselves, while disenfranchising Americans (aka, "your votes don't, won't ever fucking count"). What could the 99% have done to stop that?
What could Human-Americans have done to stop TARP and the Fed from bailing out the bankrupt financial sector?
When 19 state A-Gs went to dubya to get predatory lending stopped, he shut them down. What could
There won't be enough, if any, candidates running in 2012 on an OWS/anti-1% platform. So the 99% won't have any power to not get "played". They aren't even allowed to play, only to get screwed.
WC ALWAYS sides the the institution, with the establishment over the citizen. The citizen is always to blame, NEVER the institutions and the establishment.
But he's so fucking confused that he distrusts and hates govt (but adores the spotless, heroic military arm of the govt) that he in fact actually defends govt continually rather than the citizens (eg, defends greasebag, corrupt cops violently suppressing peaceful, unarmed, dissenting citizens).

Are you serious?
How can 99% of the population be so naive as to allow this to happen, then claim they were the victim?
