So now Occupy is against world trade and capitalism? They will lose support of the 50+% of the 99%

43. Against corrupt capitalism, certainly, and has been so from the beginning.

Starting with a demand to end money in politics (ending "Citizens United", where corporations were given free reign for unlimited donations, thus turning money into speech...and those without money, have to be silent).

I sense doubt on the part of most, to engage in the conversation of what would be better, than what we have. Certainly, with the 1% grabbing up 93% of the benefits of economic growth in 2009/2010, there is a problem and capitalism is it. They profited wildly through crashing the system, then grabbed more money in bailouts...all of it being our money.

California had $673,000,000,000 stolen by banks. Now they're saying there's a $16,000,000,000 shortfall and they'll have to trash schools and government employees. BULLSHIT. That's pennies from what banks stole, so why don't they just get it back? They're the legislators, the supposed real power in the country. But they don't, and won't, and are pulling "austerity", which means "socialized payment for theft". WE have to pay for a theft the government will neither punish nor retrieve.

Which is extremely telling, innit.

Student loan debt just topped $1 trillion dollars, and repugs voted to allow interest rates to increase even further. Students in Quebec are massively protesting against a 75% hike in tuition over a five-year period. Yet students are less than 50% likely to actually get a job in their field, much less a McJob, due to capitalism outsourcing and over-sea-ing jobs en masse.

There IS a problem in this country, and it's not Occupy
