It really is not a worthwhile exercise to argue the motivations of the folks doing the "Occupy" with some hypocrite posting from a socialist state.

And upon noting the immediate recommend that your post garnered, I thought I would glance at your personal page. Frankly I am stunned that you apparently have never offered a post that did not get recommended. That is a record that needs to be applauded. Remarkable......

"What "occupy" energy?" Well, for starters..... Greetings, Institutions of the Media. We are Anonymous. The events transpiring within Wall Street have caught our eye. It seems that the government and Federal agencies enjoy enforcing the law a little bit too much. They instate unjust laws as mindless automatons, blindly following orders with soulless precision. We witness the Government enforcing the laws that punish the 99% while allowing the 1% to escape justice, unharmed, for their crimes against the people. We have observed this same Government failing to enforce even the minimal legal restraints of Wall Street’s abuses. This Government who has willingly ignored the greed at Wall Street has even bailed out the perpetrators that have caused our crisis. We will not stand by and watch the system take over our way of life. We the people shall stand against the government’s inaction. We the people will not be witnesses to your corruption and ill gotten profits. We will not labor for your leisure. We will not assist you in any way. This is why we choose to declare our war against the New York Stock Exchange. We can no longer stay silent as the population is being taken advantage of for the sake of profit.We will show the world that we are true to our word. On October 10th, NYSE shall be erased from the Internet. On October 10th, expect a day that shall never, ever, be forgotten. Vox Populi, Vox Anon. The Voice of The People is The Voice of Anonymous. We are Legion. We are the 99%. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Wall Street: Expect us! http://www.munknee.com/2011/10/anonymous-the-99-hackers-plan-to-erase-nyse-from-internet-on-oct-10th-read-their-manifesto-here/

This is Why They Hate You and Want You to Die Joshua M Brown October 9th, 2011 You want to know why everyone in this country hates you and wants you dead, you big stupid fucking bank? Here's why, pay attention: (Reuters) – Bank of America Corp will pay $11 million to ousted executives Joe Price and Sallie Krawcheck, a large payout at a time when banks face protests over pay but smaller than the eight-figure packages some executives received before the financial crisis. Krawcheck -- a former Citigroup Inc executive who came to Bank of America in 2009 and was one of the top-ranking women on Wall Street -- will receive a one-time payment of $5.15 million, according to separation agreements filed by the bank on Friday. Price, a Bank of America veteran, gets $4.15 million. Each will also receive $850,000 over a one-year period. Price was head of consumer banking and Krawcheck led wealth and investment operations. Elevenmilliondollars? What the hell world are you inhabiting? Eleven million dollars for two departing executives because things didn't work out? I'm sorry, but were these two executives of Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez-level importance for your organization? Is that why there are severance deals like this in place? Or are you just completely psychotic? It's not that this isn't your prerogative as a private company - it is. But seriously, numbers like these at a time when you're instituting added fees on customer accounts just sound farcical, almost like you're making these payments to get a reaction out people. You look completely ridiculous with news like this at a time when thousands of people are massing in every major city in the country to make the case that you don't deserve to exist. At a time when you're being investigated for employing robo-signers just to maintain a certain level of foreclosures processed per month. At a time when you're laying off rank-and-file employees not by the hundreds, not by the thousands - but in the tens of thousands. At a time when retired seniors, desperately seeking income, have been pushed into annuities, life settlements, commodities and junk bonds because of the zero percent interest rate policy that was meant to nurse you and your balance sheet back to health - and this is what you do with the money? With OUR money? Are you crazy? You pay fired executives more in severance than the average American worker will earn in a lifetime. For most people on the outside looking in, this seems like it's from outer space, another world entirely. These numbers just do not exist to regular human beings, they cannot be fathomed. The ordinary American is not a class warrior or a woe-is-me whiner coveting the rewards of others - the ordinary American simply believes that extraordinary rewards should go to those who do extraordinary things, not to paper-pushing failures at parasite banks. So let me give you a hint that will save you countless hours and millions of dollars spent on consultants and the public relations morons you keep on staff: This is why they hate you. This very type of thing, while just a single example, epitomizes the piggish mentality that has set you apart from everyone else. This is why they're marching against you and calling for boycotts and writing their politicians. And this is why your whole model and way of life is on its way to being dead. Forever. You want to roll your eyes and make snide remarks about "dumb college kids" and "socialists"? Go ahead but you're be missing the point. Because it is the small business owner who's really been wronged here, not the fringe elements you mockingly dismiss. The business owner whose losses are not socialized like yours, the business owner without the government in his pocket, the business owner who is forced to play by the rules that you have paid to have written. He's not a hippie, he's not a Marxist...but he's waking up, dummy. You blew the second chance you got with TARP to re-enter society as a productive component of commerce. You went back to bonus-swilling, full-retard mode as though nothing ever happened and 13 million people weren't sitting around in their post credit-bubble joblessness for three years now. Your tone-deafness and utter disconnection from the rest of the country has produced something extraordinary - You've managed to awaken one of the most indolent, lethargic and apathetic populaces in the history of the world. You've now stirred a slumbering nation of 300 million from it's Entennman's and Zoloft-induced stupor. America is awake now and it's pissed. Good luck with that. thereformedbroker.com

This 1 hour and 56 min video that was voted best documentary in 2010, explains everything. Please everyone take the time to watch this. It is the direction that Occupy Wall Street and other organized groups need to move. It is the most powerful film i have ever watch about why our system is doomed to fail and we need a change. The film tells the change and shows why. We could fix our country in a matter of months. I would be interested in hearing everyone comments. youtube.com
