    The movement was doomed before it started, as is any like movement. The oligarhs will not relinquish controll.
    The wall street movement at least has potential to sway economic benefit at least slightly back in the right direction.

    That's hardly what I meant by my comments. You seem to mistake criticism of your views as political repression of your free speech rights all of which is irrelevent because that is not what I was talking about.

    Yea, yea. Well just because one doesn't worship at the feet of a bunch of Wall Street banker who do tricks with money and never, ever produce anything doesn't make one a leftist. The fact is, middlemen like the guys on Wall Street do not nor ever have produced wealth. It's the people who actually produce goods and tangible services that create wealth. Capitalist provide an important function in growing and developing productive wealth but the cold hard truth is that they don't produce wealth. They consume it and they consume it disproportionately. For example. Henry Ford produced wealth, Steve Jobs produced wealth, Bill Gates produces wealth. Warren Buffet does not produce wealth. He consumes wealth by providing captial in exchange for productive wealth. A valuable service to be sure but he is not a producer of wealth.

    It's the other way around Dude. You can't have capitalist with out producers you lodo! Capitalist can't do shit with out people who produce and all that has to be done to prove that is for the producers to stop producing.

    just, wow. I knew there were some people on here that had no clue about capitalism and economics, but holy shit you take the entire cake.
