occupy movement

[Cleburne]

Forget the water and hoses, brake out the rubber bullets and a few mini guns.

my opinion on the occupy Wallstreet Movement is this

I am about to go to the bathroom and have a movement, afterwards I wouldnt even give the results of my movement to the OWS idiots.

Occupy a desk!

Just read Timothy 3rd chapter and tell me it ain't like reading the evening paper or watching the nightly news.

It really bothers me that all the industry and good jobs are moving overseas, and everything says "Made in China."  It used to bother me that everything said "Made in Mexico" but I'll buy that if  I have to and have a choice between Mexico and China.  But the American people are to blame for this in their quest for "cheaper prices"  It's just proves that cheaper is not better in more ways than one.  Made in the USA is out there but people are too stupid or lazy to find it and buy it.

Here locally we have a company named CountryMark.  They own their own oil refinery in Southern Indiana and all their oil comes from KY, IN and IL oilfields.  They claim to produce 20,000 jobs in the tristate area.  It amazes me how people go to the foreign oil gas stations that sit right next door to the CountryMark gas station.  I've bought every drop of gas from them since I watched their first commercial about three years ago!  Most Americans don't and probably never will see or understand the problem with the U.S economy.

really cant blame the companies that go overseas like someone else said there is something bad wrong when its cheaper to make steel in china and ship it here when there is a steel mill right there in town .
our tax code and enviromental regulations are some of the reason for campanies goin overseas

you are correct in where one source of the blame is...Also, for the super big stores looking for profit there isnt as much to be had from usa made products for them. The majority of folks think CHEAP while stores think PROFIT.  Most hard working americans want there own home, family and way of life. For other manufacturing companies in countries like China a factory supplies the housing quite often and a couple dozen people live together, get paid very low wages so they can crank out products that cost a 1/4 of the price. Those folks probably arent happy about it either but have been raised like that so they dont know any other way of life. American companies have exploited third world countries for that reason as well. 
The very machine I typed this on for instance..I just flipped over the keyboard. Its made in China.

You can't make money by producing goods anymore.  You CAN by owning stock in companies that do all the crappy things we complain about.  You still have to work hard, but it's a different kind of work.

Just ignore the idiot at the beginning, Samantha Bee's interview was great.

Kind of shoots their thinking to a flush able substance.

If the cops put as much effort into arresting the bankers and politicians that got us into this fix in the first place as they have dealing with a bunch of protestors then there would not be any need for any Occupy protests. The police response to all this is a waste of time and resources. If the cops had not been so heavy handed then we wouldn't even know the protests were happening.

Really???

I guess the police held a gun to the head of the guy in NY that raped the girl in the tent, huh?  But that isn't news worthy.  The guy that took a dump on the police car probably wouldn't have done so if the police hadn't twisted his arm so tight, huh?  What about the new reports of the protestor in NY that was paying $700 a night for her hotel room?  I guess that was the result of the police too, huh?  Waste of resources?  Wow.  The OWS folks have already cost taxpayers millions in overtime pay for police officers and public service workers.  What about the guy in NY that commented about his plans to throw a fire bomb through Macy's window?  Did police make him say that?

REALLY!!!???

There is a video on here recently posted that you might want to watch before you defend a bunch of uncoordinated juvenile (not by age but by actions) delinquents for making a fool of them selves. you are wasting your time here trying to make something legitimate out of tomfoolery!!

They don't have to break the laws.  They and others own a majority of the people who write the laws.
