So now your against lumping together? Just earlier you lumped all politicians for the past 40 years together as corrupt.. Which is it? Pick a side.There are going to be a few bad apples in every protest. Does that mean the whole group should lose its right I have a voice?

Yet we are in the middle of an economic collapse? This is success? Unemployment being at 9% is success?👿߀ŁîÅŁ wrote:

Also, please elaborate on "economic collapse". Is this like 1932 with 25% unemployment? Define "collapse".bye🎵 wrote: Probably another exaggeration. Shall we break out the improvements in standard of living stats, or will you admit that the failure of capitalism is also just pure bullshit?

Funny.. Unemployment at 7% is considered ideal. 9% is TOTAL ZOMG COLLAPSE!!!

I have a crazy idea. Maybe our MIXED MARKET economy is having issues. It's certainly not free market capitalism we are dealing with here...
Maybe we injected a bit too much socialism into the mix, and we are starting to run too lean? Hmmmmmmm?
I know how to spur on the economy! Let's take capital out of the hands of the successful business persons, filter it through the most efficient government the world has ever seen (wink wink), and give what's left over to the non-producers, and see if they can more wisely invest it to get us moving again. You know... Hire more people.

Actually of you study what occupy stands for. They want true pure capitalism. Giving the banks 1.5 trillion was by no means or in any way shape or form capitalism. In a true capitalistic society if the government gave the banks that sum the banks would be considered officially purchased. Even better would've been to just let them failI have a crazy idea.

Nobody thinks we live in a purely capitalist society. It's a mixed market economy.
We just mixed it too socialist, that's all. The protesters want what? Depends on who you ask, but they seem to want their own bailout. Also wrong.
The idea that "capitalism has failed" makes a fine bumper sticker, but it's not even close to the truth.
Looks to me like a bunch of disorganized people that don't know what they are angry about in the aggregate.
-
To say they want Laissez-faire capitalism seems ludicrous to me.
If that's what they really want, they are insane or ignorant.
-
What they are SUPPOSED to be bitching about is socio-economic inequality.
This has nothing to do with pure capitalism. Quite the opposite, I'm afraid.
