What groups support Occupy Wall Street

They are officially on world humanist revolution awesomelist in this case.
 
And this guy supports the tea party:

David Duke Speaks to the Tea Party - YouTube

Your point?

There's more if you need it. Just let me know.

Your opposition is actually encouraging re the movement itself.

Haven't seen you off Obamas "record" in months.
 

Have at it, then explain to me the actions and attitudes of both the OWS and the T.E.A. Party where there are similarities?

Got tired of posting the Obama results because Obama supporters just ignore results as they have no place in their decision making process.
 
Which group or individual that supports Occupy Wall Street do you belong to?

Decent people who detest being lied to by rich scoundrels would sum it up for me.

let me know how some rich person made you poorer? Your outrage over someone who has more than you says a lot about you
 

That is most certainly NOT the question you asked in the OP.

I take it you agree with Duke, then?

I've also seen other less-than-desireable groups who have come out in support of the tea party.

My point is that at no time did I attempt or condone painting the tea party with the racist brush.

So I get to give you crap for doing exactly the same thing to OWS.

Its one of the benefits of choosing honesty over partisanship.
 

My point has always been an attempt to elevate the OWS crowd with the T.E.A. Party movement and there are very few comparsions. I would associate myself with the T.E.A. Party crowd just like our Founders would. I don't see them associating with the OWS crowd at all. Under no circumstances did our Founders support forced redistribution of wealth and a 3.7 trillion dollar govt. OWS has no problem with redistribution of wealth as long as they get their share.

Working people produce goods, capitalists steal the difference between what they pay us for them and what they get for them, obviously. Where've you been?
 

The Founders did specifically forbid standing armies, so maybe you have a point.

How do they steal it? Just how does paying your salary that you agreed upon equate to theft?

Think. If you do all the work, you should get what the thing sells for, surely? What's the problem? What do bosses produce?

1st of all no worker does "all the work" else he should go into business for himself.

2ndly, if you got all of the selling price, who pays the rent/bills/taxes/payroll of accounting/management/hr and others?

Bosses produce businesses, jobs, decisions and ideas. Workers do as they're told, at a wage they agree to. If you really didn't need a boss, you'd be your own.

The worker produces what people need, and he'd be a scoundrel if he went in for robbing others, surely? You don't have to pay for anything if we have democracy, because we look after one another, but what has that do to with this discussion? Bosses have brainwashed you into believing they do useful things because they have convinced you we need their silly system. Probably you wanted to get rich, and therefore believed them, but social mobility has ended in the 'States, alas, years since - so if already rich, hang on in there. Co-operation will deal with any problems quite easily if we stop believing in the equivalent of a flat earth.

Spent 35 years in that capitalist world and never stole from anyone. Why is it you want to spread your misery equally to everyone over here?

The Founders put into the Constitution, PROVIDE FOR THE COMMON DEFENSE, which far too many don't seem to understand.

Matter of definition. Unlike any right wing Americans I've read I am very happy, as far as I can make out, and I never 'compete' with anyone. It suits your masters to make you believe in their system and in other people's misery, and because of Senator McCarthy you believe them. It all goes back to the Cold War: the Russians, having lost it, had a chance to rethink their brainwashing. Good luck!

Right, fancy that, it does seem that liberals and conservatives have a different definition of the word promote. You do know that promoting isn't the same as providing?

And you would define "promote" how?

By focusing on equal opportunity and promoting personal responsibility. Lower the tax rates, increase incentive, and encouraging individuals not the govt. to help each other. Self reliance seems to be a lost art today as many now seem to have that entitlement mentality

No reason other than I don't normally take seriously anything from someone who calls themselves a socialist. As I am sure you know polls can be swayed depending on the way the question is asked. We are going to see in 2012 if results actually matter. I believe these malcontents are being manipulated many but the groups I posted and are misguided. Protesting Wall Street serves no purpose as the laws are made by the people in D.C. but it seems that this President is ruling more by executive order. OWS certainly aren't protesting Obama or his crony capitalism nor are the OWS paying any attention to the huge bonuses being paid Freddie and Fannie excutives. Guess it all depends on who the greedy people are, doesn't it? Liberal greed good, crony capitalism good if in green industries or members of the job's commission, spending on OWS issues good, forgiving OWS debt good. Does that about cover it?

I swear to God, if I see one more con co-opt the founders, I'm going to lose it. You've now moved from the "I disagree, but at least he's intelligent list" to the "Idiot right wing partisan hack list."

Shouldn't OWS have periods like the TP does?
