Dull, many of us would prefer to do our duties, pay taxes and the rest but have been precluded by this race to turn our work force into a third world standard. I ask what of any value to our society did you create with your clever stock trade? Did it create more food, clothing or shelter? |

I ask what of any value to our society did you create with your clever stock trade? Did it create more food, clothing or shelter? Actually, yes. What do you think cash from a clever trade is used for? To buy food, clothing, and spend on shelter. This reduces inventory at whatever business these items were bought. Usually, inventory is then replenished. This keeps jobs going for People in Society. Even if Every Item is made outside The US, the item was bought here in The US and a US Citizen(or illegal) handled this item. You know, through trucking, warehousing, stocking, cashiering, and other things such. Including owning, managing The Business which handles the items. And The Stock Trading Transaction itself? I'm sure some Americans were involved in The Trade and got a cut of The $9.99. AND SPENT IT HERE IN AMERICA AT AN AMERICAN STORE. Must I go on with this. Do you get The Picture? I hope The Occupiers have more of A Grasp of Wall Street than is displayed here. The Stock Trading American Consumer Named Dull. May we All have a METAMORPHOSIS. REASON. GOoD JUDGEMENT and LOVE and ORDER!!!!! |

Considering what the Dow did in October, perhaps we should wish the Occupy Dow Jones movement to just continue forever. Seems the 1% are finally making money again. |

Dull, you are confusing consuming with creating! |

You tell me! They seem pretty lame, compared to the CND protesters that we used to get 'camped' outside the main gate of the RAF station I was stationed at, years ago. Perhaps the modern 'protester', enjoys rather too much, the 'gifts' that the system they hate so much, allows them to have, or lacks that level of conviction. Never, ever, ever, have I been paid by my main employer, in cash. Payment in cash occurred when I was in high school and helped out someone on their farm for a day or so and they paid me cash "under the table" for that day of help. For any "real" job, it's been by check. And that is going back to the 1980s. What changed, 10-15 years ago, was the insistence that the checks be direct deposited. P.S.-so what's this about there were no bank failures from 1930 to 1980? |

Targeting Wall Street but hurting small vendors instead Targeting Wall Street but hurting small vendors instead Gosh 100%?! In the US Senate it is 60%. So one person can block anything. Someone told me democracy was 50% plus one vote. Must be the new math. |

Actually, the ability of a single Senator to block action, particularly on appointments is quite real. Democrats did that as well during the reign of Bush II.

The French aristocracy thanks you for the obtuseness of your statement. By that, being fiscally better off means nothing when they take off your head. In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

Cafe Owner Says He Was Forced to Cut Staff by Nearly a Fourth Because of 'Occupy' Protests A New York City cafe cut its staff by nearly 25 percent last week because of lost business due to the ongoing Occupy Wall Street protests, the cafe's owner told FoxNews.com. More jobs lost to Occupy. How soon before the only job is state police officer? |

Targeting Wall Street but hurting small vendors instead They are not practising democracy. It is a form of Anarchism that is based on reaching a consensus through debate. It is a slow but very effective process because it means that once a decision has been made everyone will stick to it. I suspect the debate is still ongoing. Reality Internet Personality |

Dear 99% who sleep. Dear Gary Charpentier, Von Braun and JFK are long dead. One had the scientific knowledge and inspiration, the other the political will and wherwwithall, to get us to Luna. Now, when a government agency is out of big inspiring ideas, and the "little private corporation guys" trying to get space tourism and exploration going in a different way, you would rather gripe about Obama and the Democratic Party for reducing NASAs role and worry that they will scrap it altogether. I could go on and on, but, are you saying you do not trust a Werner Von Braun or Steve Jobs to appear on the private side of space tourism and exploration, who might keep the technological innovation? If not, I see contradictions in your overall thinking. Do you? The 1 in 7 billion = 0.1428571429 * 10^(-7) %. |

Certainly one way to look at it -- perhaps taking a bit of a lesson from the TeaParty partisans. Those folks have been very effective, and have taken over the TeaPublican party (with no small amount of financial assistance). They too (at least from what has gone on in Congress) have anarchistic leanings. They are not practising democracy. It is a form of Anarchism that is based on reaching a consensus through debate. It is a slow but very effective process because it means that once a decision has been made everyone will stick to it. I suspect the debate is still ongoing. |
