Sounds like more evidence of fascism to me.Sounds like a good use of government resources. What better use of the Department of Homeland Security than acting to stabilize the homeland, quiet riots and maintain the status quo of domestic peace?
Ah ha! So excessive concentration of wealth in the hands of fewer and fewer people is a good thing because it reduces inflation? Got it.What good is doubling everyones salary? You want to send inflation through the roof?
Just like bank robbers, embezzlers, etc., right? They worked hard for their money. They deserve to be happy. Seems pretty selfish to hold them accountable for their actions or try to recover the riches they stole^h^h^h^h^h earned. Right?

Bank robbers and embezzlers broke the law. The people you're angry at operated within the law, or changed the law to enable their actions. You should be angry at the government being weak, not the people that took advantage of the situation.
So you're saying theft is OK as long as I steal enough that I can change the legal definition of "theft"? Wow! Nothing like a moral foundation built of vapor.Bank robbers and embezzlers broke the law. The people you're angry at operated within the law, or changed the law to enable their actions.

Later in the video, he then goes on to say “No more talking. They’ve got guns, we’ve got bottles. They’ve got bricks, we’ve got rocks…in a few days you’re going to see what a Molotov cocktail can do to Macy’s.”
That's dumb. You can be angry both at the perpetrator and the people who didn't stop them, as the OWS people specifically are.
What a crock. Your "strict, powerful government" has become nothing but hired mall cops for the elite. It may be strict with the serfs, but it does virtually nothing to reign in the abusive lords. We need to restore government to representing the people as a whole, not just the few who have millions of dollars to bribe our elected representatives [sic].So you cry cry about the wealthy few having too much power and concentrated wealth, but then you opposed the only thing that could possibly stand against them: An extremely strict, powerful government.
I haven't seen a single anti-obama sign there yet, nor anti-buffet, nor anti-soros. They aren't angry at the ones who caused (nay, is egging it on and encouraging) it.
I'm just following the chain of thought. Craig's point was working incomes would be "double" if not for the excessive concentration of wealth (compared to historically normal shared distribution patterns). You said that would be a bad thing because it would cause inflation. Thus, you appear to be advocating excessive concentration of wealth keeping working incomes down to control inflation.what? No, just that simply doubling everyones salary would be a sure fire way to get to inflation. I didn't make any other remark did I? How can you comment on what I did not say?
Spidey, you are mentally ill. Seek professional help. Neither Obama, nor Buffet, nor Soros caused this situation.
I think doubling everyones salaries is effectively the same as allowing "excessive concentrations of wealth". Neither are right. I personally think everyones salaries should come down, obviously a higher drop from the "top", but Americans ask for to much money now mostly due to poor habits and decisions we've made.I'm just following the chain of thought.

Did Obama admin TARP? Yes. Why aren't the protesters focusing their anger on this president?
Because this entire thing is to take blame off the president and attempt to focus it on the bourgeois. Useful idiots, all of them.
only 2 dozen at zucotti last night.
HAHA!

The whole idea behind the OWS movement is to draw attention to this corruption. If enough Americans pull themselves away from Dancing with the Stars and empty partisan wedge issues long enough to realize we're being robbed, maybe they'll finally get off their lazy, inattentive asses and create enough pressure to force "our" government to fix it. The only two other options appear to be armed revolt or continuing to slide backwards until we're just another third-world serfdom. Of the three, I'll side with OWS in seeking a peaceful solution.Bowfinger, I don't think he said it is ok. He said it was legal. You can't bitch about what they're doing being illegal and immoral because the government, you know the representatives of us, said it wasn't. They sure as shit be punished, but what are you going to do? Use the force of the state on them? Just like they are trying to do with you? Solve your own goddamn problem and go fucking take from them, go put some bullets into some people, because protesting and camping out while still holding onto your chains of "slavery" isn't going to accomplish anything.
Sweetie, I know you're immune to facts, but it was GW Bush who signed TARP. You may now ignore this and continue your insane ranting.Did Obama admin TARP? Yes. Why aren't the protesters focusing their anger on this president?

I am not getting into a conversation about this with you any more than I would talk about the CIA to the screaming guy on the corner in a sandwich board. You simply aren't capable.
By the way, if you can let me know what area you live in I am very willing to assist you in finding a clinical psychologist. You don't have to live like this.
If everyone in America's salary dropped the country would experience catastrophic deflation. This is a terrible idea.
