They want $lice of the occu-pie
Even in Zuccotti Park, greed is good.If you're having trouble hearing, that's because I'm having trouble keeping my maniacal laughter down to a dull roar... Imagine that. A movement dedicated to pointing out the horrors of corporate greed is succumbing to greed's allure... All that cash coming in, and little going out; why, it's almost like they're trying to make a [GASP] profit! The most hysterical part comes later in the article, where someone wants something replaced and is incensed to find out that there's paperwork involved.
Occupy Wall Street’s Finance Committee has nearly $500,000 in the bank, and donations continue to pour in -- but its reluctance to share the wealth with other protesters is fraying tempers.
Some drummers -- incensed they got no money to replace or safeguard their drums after a midnight vandal destroyed their instruments Wednesday -- are threatening to splinter off.
“The other day, I took in $2,000. I kept $650 for my group, and gave the rest to Finance. Then I went to them with a request -- so many people need things, and they should not be going without basic comfort items -- and I was told to fill out paperwork. Paperwork! Are they the government now?”OMG! They don't just hand out money to hippies - just like Wall Street! They want to know where the money is going - just like Wall Street! YOU HAVE BECOME THAT WHICH YOU DESPISE, OH NOES!
My biggest problem with the movement is not that they're protesting Wall Street. There have been significant, serious cases of corporate fraud and malfeasance, and it is absolutely necessary to shine light on these instances. Any company found to engage in unlawful practice should be prosecuted; any company using deceptive practices should be exposed so that people can be fully informed. I have no problem with this. It's that their "answer" to the excesses of Wall Street have been mainly to sic the FedGov on them, which merely replaces one bloated corrupt bureaucracy with another...
The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
That is all.

And yet, these "Useful Idiots" are actively courted by the DNC.
So for the next Presidential Election, are these Hippies going to "Occupy" Election Boards because they don't like the Vote Count? Keep in mind, we already have seen Mob Rule in the Wisconsin and Ohio State Houses this year.
Stay tuned.
You see these "kids" that say they are the 1% and that they stand with the 99%. If you read their little bios they all inheritaed their money, not one of them worked for it. It was given to them by their parents. So they have no sense of what money is worth because they did not work for it. When you bust your ass fourteen, fifteen hours a day seven days a week to make an honest living...I should say try to make a living. You have much more respect for the "God almighty dollar". They complain about Big Goverment spending yet they protest for more freebies from the goverment. You can not have it both ways. The rest of the "protesters" have been mooching on society for years. Dont they realize that shutting down wall street make thousands and thousands of people out of work just what we need right now. The Police should move in and break up this mob of law breakers and punks!
Justcook: no. They're annoying, and they're protesting like spoiled brats that they don't get enough freebies. But they have as much of a right to protest as anyone.
(What they don't have a right to do, of course, is to break the law. And it sounds as though locals are getting right tired of them. So my guess is that, soon enough, policemen will be told: "enough is enough. Watch them carefully... and arrest anyone who so much as spits on the sidewalk.")
