Raleigh-Cary (???) ranks #42 on the list. What can we do to become #1, guys?

Take all the money from the people who don't have much money and give it to the people who have a lot of money

They've passed a general strike to take place on November 2nd.

A strike doesn’t do much damage when none of the participants have jobs.

"Shooting Of Marine Veteran In Oakland Sparks Ire Of Occupy Navy, Police, Army, And Marines; Vow To Protect Innocent Protesters October 27, 2011 By Stephen D. Foster Jr. When the police in Oakland critically injured Marine veteran Scott Olsen, they couldn’t have imagined the hornets nest they stirred up. In response to this violent act committed by police against an innocent protester and fellow serviceman, Occupy Marines, Occupy Police, Occupy Navy, and Occupy Army are vowing to protect the protesters from those who would commit violence against them. Occupy Marines tweeted the following message. “WHEN YOU SHOOT ONE MARINE, YOU SHOOT AT ALL OF US. OORAH. Do It Peacefully Occupy We Stand In Solidarity” "

Fuck with the bull you get the horns

I know how these service men act I doubt he was merely invoking his right to protest

The funniest thing is how quick the 4th branch vultures swarm down and release these stories

^yeah servicemen are a bunch of dirtbags.

10/27/2011 12:50:11 PM

I'm not advocating police using any force against protesters... But....like....i doubt they knew homeboy was a marine or aimed specifically for him. I think the marines should keep sight of that. I also think the police should keep sight of what exactly thier jobs are, and not be so willing to blindly follow orders.

i am in no way surprised shit popped off in oakland

Even if the dude wouldn't normally incite such a police response, he's amongst a mob of rats

They play World of Warcraft

People are only thinking about themselves and not the big picture when they write these stupid monologues.


If you take 10% of the 1% of income and give it back to the middle class where it belongs, the rich will still be rich and the middle class will be restored.

Unions and the G.I. Bill were the 2 main reasons we have a middle class. What are corporations going to be able to sell to a nation of uneducated paupers?

Demand drives growth, not supply-side economics.

10/27/2011 1:51:25 PM

I'm pretty sure the only way that you could make trickle-down economics even close to working like its proponents say it does is to force millionaires to live paycheck-to-paycheck. Just like hold em at gunpoint and drive them to the mall and be like "SUPERMARKET SWEEP TIME BITCH"
