There is a huge number of Americans who simply don't realize that they've been victimized by Wall Street – that they've paid inflated commodity prices due to irresponsible speculation and manipulation, seen their home values depressed thanks to corruption in the mortgage markets, subsidized banker bonuses with their tax dollars and/or been forced to pay usurious interest rates for consumer credit, among other things. http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/blogs/taibblog/occupy-wall-street-drawing-the-battle-lines-20110927

Chaz, please try to understand that ACORN was a community benefit organization that received Federal Funding, and OccupyWallstreet receives no Federal Funding, and appears to be without "sponsors" or ANY funding.
Do you understand therefore that ACORN is not similar to OccupyWallstreet?
I honestly cannot see how in the world you could come that conclusion.
Perhaps you will list the very specifics of the similarities of their respective origin, organization, funding, and degree of true grass roots spontaneity?

Norton, this has been in the works for at least two years now. Andy Stern (SCIU), other ex ACORN functionaries and a host of both anarchist and communist organizations have been planning it for several years. There's even audio tape from the planning meetings last year and early this year.

TGT,
Can you direct me to the Communist organizations involved with this protest?
Just a quick link detailing their involvement, thanks.

Ok TGT and Chaz,
I have read the link, it is simply a news account of the protests from a minor media source, and calls on readers to do likewise.
I don't see anything proving the assertion that Communist are behind the protestors.
The link is not helpful in this regard as it says nothing about that.
But you directed me to you as if it did.
Perhaps you can give me the direct link from a major credible source to read where you personally learned of Communist involvement?

Less Government = Less Cronyism
Whatever vacuum less government creates will be filled by private enterprise. Private enterprise has its share of cronyism.

There are plenty of reasons one doesn't have much choice of who they do business with. And lots of circumstance that don't require government to provide the force.
The only options I have for high speed internet are ATT and none.
Is ATT forcing me to use them? Nope.. But my only other choice is dial up, and that aint high speed internet. I don't have an angle on satellite from my house. I could from across the street, but satellite is 3 times as much as I am paying.
So what kind of choice is that?
