these protests are not about giving me shit for free, or welfare programs, or i am the 99% GIVE ME MONEY YOU 1%ers!!!


There are a lot of stupid people that are part of the protests because it's cool, while they have no idea what it's actually about.

anyone who seriously thinks thats what this is about is fucking stupid, and has done 0 research into anything. If you think that's what this is about you are just making assumptions because these protesters are "stupid hippies who want free shit."


I agree with the OWS movement, I dont want shit for free.
I worked 3 jobs so that I didnt have to be on food stamps because i have no kids, I have no family, i support no one. I do not need goverment hand outs. there are people who DO need these programs, those people deserve it, but i am a well abled youth who can support himself, even if it is hard.



the equal tax representation is not "TAX THEM SO YOU CAN TAX ME LESS, OR GIVE ME HANDOUTS"

the equal tax representation is about getting america and our government out of the shithole it's in. it is about equal tax representation not to fix our personal lives, to fix our government as a WHOLE.

WE NEED TO CUT SPENDING A FUCKING SHITLOAD, we are spending a ridiculous amount. THAT BEING SAID, simply cutting spending cannot get us out of debt, it will only slow down how deep we go into dept.

WE NEED INCREASED REVENUE, taxes are the lowest they have been in 50 years.

wanna know a president who helped through a recession by increasing revenue, and raising taxes across the board, as well as broadening the tax base?
Reagan, who people like this adore. Reagan was famous for cutting spending, and slashing taxes. which he did do his first year in office! however he quickly found out this was hurting more than helping the economy. and after 1983 his spending was higher than our last 40 year average of spending, and taxes were higher than our last 40 year average taxes!

well woulda look at that? raising taxes and big government! (in spending anyway) and this guy is the tea party hero!




What OWS wants, in short.
Get corporate money out of politics, make the government work for the people, not for large corporations. (which are good as a part of this country, i do not want them to go away! I love capitalism and i LOVE to see that a small company can grow into a nationwide product! that right there is truly the american dream!)
However as much as i agree they have there place, and they are needed, they are not the opinions of the people, they 1% of the US population, yet they have more influence on polict than the 99% of people!
this is not about the have's and have nots like people assume. This is about a government that operates FOR the people, the majority, the 99%. not the people who gives them the most campaign funds.

the 2nd thing OWS wants is for fair tax laws, get rid of loop holes and huge tax cuts for the 1%. Not to give to me, I don't want it! but to increase revenue for the government, that way we can inject it back into society as a WHOLE (not welfare, public roads, public schooling, etc etc etc, things that create more government jobs!) fix what is completely broken, and get this country back on track to being the greatest damn country in the world, like it should be.



Do i know exactly how to fix it? YOU BET YOUR ASS I DON'T!
That's what politicians make the crazy salary they make for! Making those hard decisions, figuring out how to realistically fix what is broken, and in a way that best suits the people of the united states of america. They do not get paid to fight over weather gov funds should go to abortion clinics and nearly cause of government shut down because of it! (whether they should or not is another argument entirely, but honestly not a pressing issue.)







cliffs.

Don't make stupid assumptions about what people want, that you have done no research on and think you are cool by showing how hard you work without government assistance, sweet! good for you! I do it too.

Learn what this protest is about from educated people, not the hipster down the street who lives on his parents income and wants to be part of a "movement".
