These are real bills that Democrats put up to address our real problems and voted for with a majority of their party. That is what Congressmen do that represent the majority of the country.
What bills have the Republicans put up to solve any of the nation's problems???
That represent the majority of the country?
There is our problem right there....
Senators and Congressmen are not required to represent the majority of the country.
what can a person do with "progressiveness" exactly?
How can "progressiveness" benefit them?
Please note, I stated those unemployed who would rather camp than go out and find jobs and get employed.
Unemployed people pay nothing in income taxes........ so the tax rate of themselves and others does not affect them....
Senators and Congressmen are required to represent their constituents (if they wish to be reelected).
The majority of their constituents have said they want to eliminate the tax breaks for the rich, stop outsourcing jobs, re-regulating the banks, and they want Obama's jobs plan passed.
How are tax increases on the wealthy going to help the unemployed who would rather go camp out than keep working to find a job?
Returning to some of the progressiveness that has been cut over the last 30 years, makes it easier on the middle class that are being forced into poverty at an alarming rate. Eliminating the tax breaks for companies for outsourcing jobs will have an immediate impact on jobs lost to overseas investment by greedy businesses.
Really?I've seen no "unemployed who would rather camp than go out and find jobs and get employed."
How do you know?
Because, there are about 20 polls that say the same thing, and have you notice people protesting in the streets, willing to be arrested over this ****?
Really?
OWS aren't like working people..
They want hand outs.... not reduced taxes on middle class and increased taxes on upper class.....
They have NO business talking about taxation....
If they can afford to camp out for 8 weeks straight.... they aren't paying taxes.
They are unemployed because the "job creators" aren't using their tax cuts to create jobs. Hell of good reason to eliminate those tax cuts, wouldn't you say?
Yes, they're willing to be arrested for assaulting police and bystanders, as well as doing drugs and denying access to public areas to thousands
Nope, they're unemployed because they're all protesting out there and making a humiliation of themselves instead of getting a job
We have thousands of arrests for civil disobedience for patriotically standing up for their beliefs. vs a handful of arrests by trouble makers that have infiltrated the movement. It must infuriate those on Wall Street that these protesters without the benefit of big money are changing the political debate in this country to the concentration of wealth and power and its negative effect on the people and the economy.
So it was the protesters that brought about our 9% unemployment and not the Bush Recession?
Yeah, standing up patriotically for their beliefs are okay as long as they don't assault or vandalize.
I'm sure that hundreds of "infiltrators" also exist and have false backgrounds
In any protest movement of any size there will be some trouble makers. Even Gandhi could not maintain perfect non-violent protests, especially in the beginning.
From what I have observed of the protests happening around the world today, ours are the most peaceful.
OWS is the most peaceful? :lamo
According to all the news reports I have seen, the protests going on today worldwide have been much more violent. Which of the worldwide protests can you point to that have been less violent?
Korean protests against university fees, Korean protests against the FTA, etc...
There are lots more, but they are only Korean protests. That's because the mainstream media, as well as its audiences, prefers more violent and radical protests. The OWS fits perfectly, so that's why it became famous

Not because the main stream media is in the US and Korea is about the size of Mississippi?Korean protests against university fees, Korean protests against the FTA, etc...

Tossing matches ?funny, as so far OWS's only course of action is to occupy parks and have tossing matches with the po-po.
