The action
NEW YORK (AP) — Protesters speaking out against corporate greed and other grievances were maintaining a presence in Manhattan's Financial District even after more than 700 of them were arrested during a march on the Brooklyn Bridge in a tense confrontation with police.
The reaction
People are saying:
1) To everybody out there blaming Obama, Bush or any other singular government official as the cause for America's prosperity getting flushed down the toilet. You're missing the big picture. The situation is simple: The near entirety of the US government is corrupt and run by political Bribe-takers bought and paid for by people who have amassed the most wealth overall in this country (Top 1% of the US Population). These politicians, now solely representing their funders and not the voters turn around and pass legislation that gives the Super Rich here every advantage possible, including free money (Quantitative Easing/Bailouts), lower taxes and zero accountability for their actions. In order to prevent revolts from the increased burden to the unrepresented in this country, the Super Rich have set up a bogus political party to siphon off and redirect the anger of the masses (The Republicans) and an ineffectual party (The Democrats) to cave to “republican pressure” while pretending to care about the masses. In addition, they have co-opted and bought out nearly all of the mainstream media in order to filter out any info that would lay the blame on the true culprit, instead leaving the majority of America divided and focusing their energies on decoy scapegoats and partisan nonsense. The super rich and those they pay for care not one bit about jobs or the welfare of the country they grew from. They merely care about having as many digits as possible for their bank statement balance. And if that means the middle/working class will eventually need to vanish, then so be it. The entire system is broken.
P.S. Please feel free to repost this message elsewhere if you agree. Part of the way to help turn the tide of this problem is by raising awareness to the reality of the situation. Thx -c
2) It's only going to get worse this is far from over, as it spreads to city to city then to our nations capitol. Like in the 70's Semi trucks cut off most of the road ways into DC and moved at one or two miles per hour. As the weather turns cold more people will get even more angry and upset. I think its time the politicans start to listen to the people before it gets way out of hand. And they start in on those out running for office. This is how it all started and kept on growing across the country in the 60's... Remember what happen at Kent State and down south?
3) We need to stop putting millionaires and lawyers in office.Someone who isn't elected by special interest money.We need someone who is patriotic and is concerned about the average American.
4) “There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by debt.”
-- John Adams
5) Why not boycott the big banks, especially Bank of America and Citigroup - people should put their savings (meager as they may be) into local credit unions or small town banks. In addition, people should try to buy more things with cash to deny banks the fees they get from debit cards, credit cards, etc.
Demand that the Justice Department prosecutes Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and other bankster/corporate criminals.
6) I closed my BofA account and opened one at a locally owned credit union.
7) WORDS FROM MT. RUSHMORE: “I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations which dare already to challenge our government in a trial of strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.” ~ Thomas Jefferson... I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war.” ~ Abraham Lincoln... “I again recommend a law prohibiting all corporations from contributing to the campaign expenses of any party. Let individuals contribute as they desire; but let us prohibit in effective fashion all corporations from making contributions for any political purpose, directly or indirectly.” ~ Theodore Roosevelt... “The fortunes amassed through corporate organization are now so large, and vest such power in those that wield them, as to make it a matter of necessity to give to the sovereign – that is, to the Government, which represents the people as a whole – some effective power of supervision over their corporate use. In order to insure a healthy social and industrial life, every big corporation should be held responsible by, and be accountable to, some sovereign strong enough to control its conduct.” ~ Theodore Roosevelt...“
