I support those protesting against the fed, the bank bailouts and the 0.1% that dominate & buy off politicians.

But the idiots that whine about rich people not paying enough tax and corporations making profits, well... happy to see them get schooled.

Rich people don't pay enough tax though. Middle class and poor people pay the most.

Corporations have to make profit, that is a no brainer. It is when corporations lay people off or send jobs over-seas in order to maximize those profits.

Lets go to fantasy/hypothetical land for examples

company makes 1,000,000 in profits every year.
company decides to lay off 500 people to make 1,500,000 in profits.
company decides to just ship over-seas thus Americans losing jobs in order for the company to make 3,000,000 in profits.


that is right and okay?

10% of the country is unemployed. Roughly 30,000,000 people.

[Archangel_Lost]

that had about as much schooling as a mcdonalds employee

[Seldini]

Wow, owned. He's basically agreeing with them the whole way, they just don't understand that.

[johnston.277]

I think Schiff makes some great points, but I think the title of this thread does the dialogue that he is attempting to create a disservice.

[Glider]

Not much schooling was done cuz those numbskull occupiers won't listen to reason, they're just trying to talk over each other.

Go occupy a job, lul.

Occupy the red. lul

Vid goes hard. Echoes everything I try to tell people but they're too retarded to listen (I also don't say it quite as well as he does).

I ****ing cracked up, dying of laughter when the black guy brought up slavery at about 6:00, and his flat respones "What does slavery have to do with any of this?"

Also, just a general observation. This is proof that the majority of people have no class. brb asking you to let me finish and trying to get my point across by yelling, but then when you are making your counterpoint I'm just going to talk over you instead of letting you talk.

brb making a convo video with you and editing it to make you look like an idiot.

[ajs8140]

Whole point of occupy wall street is so that "the people" actually have a say in congress - instead of just the corporations paying congress officials off through lobbyism.

Protesting is necessary to have a healthy government.


-In capitalism you earn your rights.
-Corporations have earned their and can do whatever the fk they want
-The people are slowly losing rights as corporations learn to become more efficient and profitable
-The people need to earn their rights, which is done by protesting

[Tyler44]

lulz, yesssss.


Copy/Pasta'd on my FB. In b4 I lose a few hippie friends

Occupy the red. lul

Let's be real. They made themselves look like an idiot. You don't need to watch this video to know about the people that are protesting.

[himynameisjohn]

wal mart must go

[jimbo73]

1. be a well educated, logical thinking person
2. venture into a huge gathering of the inane dregs of the working class (bonus points for the homeless) and argue with them about the government, history, economics, business
3. ???
4. profit!

[Margzz]

He nailed it when he made the argument that it wasn't capitalism that bailed out the banks. If these people want to make a stronger argument they need to stop this anti-capitalist bull**** and take a long hard look at who bailed out the banks and the federal reserve. Not suggesting some of them are not but any logical, positive message is being lost under this anti-capitalist dogma.

[TAS44]

in4 after

[Sodao]

this guy is kinda growing on me. it's good to see someone actually explaining things to people, instead of some lame propaganda videos or w/e. but he needs to get it through his head that this is not a primarily socialist/communist movement, although by the end of the video i'm sure he noticed by the show of hands of pro-capitalist people.

[plasmabrah]

who do these Occupiers want for President?

cant be Ron Paul because he is Christian and old school and thats a hippy liberal no no. not sure if Obama since he is doing nothing for them..

[AWG]

LOL'd when that guy said meme

[Suit]

Let's be real. They made themselves look like an idiot. You don't need to watch this video to know about the people that are protesting.

Lets be real, he did an 18 minute edited video of interviews with the dumbest people he could find.

When you tell me the reason they neglect Ron Paul on the news you will find the answer as to why they neglect to cover the OWS movement.

You stupid ****.




30 million Americans are unemployed and that is on the rise. People aren't quitting. Businesses just are not hiring.



THIS IS WHAT THE PROTESTS ARE ABOUT, THE REALITY OF IT ALL. YOU DELUSION IDIOTS LIVE IN FANTASY LAND.



Minimum wage in California that was set 3-4 years ago: $8
Tuition increase for colleges in California in the last year and a half: 32%
Average price per gallon: $3.864

YEP, seems about right.

Reason for California college tuition increase: Big wigs at the top of the colleges over-spend and need more money to fix what they ****ed up.

brb shipping jobs over-seas so I can make more money
brb laying off 300 people to give myself a 500k bonus
brb shiit guys, we messed up... lets raise prices to make up for it.
brb products required for everyday needs rising while wages stay the same.
brb buying my way out of trouble
brb banks run everything
brb damn, lets pay off this politician to give us a new law that will help our profits.
brb money controlled media, Ron Paul constantly neglected on TV and news stations. (example)
brb media refuses to cover protests or even acknowledge them. (example)
brb rigging the system

10% of the country is unemployed. Roughly 30,000,000 people.

By our current administration's definition of "rich," the vast majority of those "rich" are small business owners. Small business owners are much more sensitive to tax rates because let's be real: many small business barely make a profit. If I am a small business owner and I employ 50 people, and my tax rates (both corporate and income, as these protesters would have raised) suddenly increased by 10%, that is 10% of my company's income that is gone with the wind. Did you know that the average restaurant (and I am only talking about successful restaurants here) makes less than 10 cents on the dollar? If 10% of all revenue suddenly went out the window, that sub 10% profit suddenly becomes a small loss. Small businesses cannot continually operate at a loss, or they will pave their own way to bankruptcy.

He brings up a good point that isn't emphasized enough about people like Warren Buffett. Buffett's proclamations are a load of ****, truth be told. All he talks about is how the rich should pay more taxes, the rich should pay more taxes, the rich should pay more taxes. Well, talk is cheap. You keep talking about how you only pay 15% or whatever to the IRS, and that you should be paying more... well, no one is stopping you. A man like Warren Buffett will talk all day about how he should be paying more taxes and how the government should create legislation ensuring that rich people do so, but at the end of the day, he isn't putting his money where his mouth is.... literally.

The problem with the 99% protest is that 99% of those 99% are uneducated about the issues that they are protesting. I'm not saying I'm more educated than they are, but if they took the time to step back and evaluate what they are saying, many of them would realize that many of the changes they want to implement have been implemented in the past, in this country, outside of it, or on a smaller scale, and have failed.

The issue isn't the employers. The issue lies with the employees. There is a defined "poverty line," in the United States. However a large portion of those below the poverty line buy a $2000 television, when a television for a quarter of the price would have sufficed. They are buying soda and cheetos with their food stamps, when that money could have gone toward food that is more nourishing nutritionally (not to mention, if they bought more raw products they could single handedly stabilize a flailing agriculture industry). And those with food stamps are walking into the stores with Jordans and gold and silver jewelry. And don't think that's a generalization. I worked as a cashier all through high school, and rang up thousands of people with food stamps. And 9 out of 10 had clothes on that cost more than the clothes I wear. And my family doesn't receive welfare.

If people want change, they need to evaluate the way they are living, plain and simple. The average American thinks they are poor because they can't afford the new iPhone.



This is poverty.
