Every day you go into the for sale section in IA and see people selling curbed up Drag wheels for $1000 bucks. Do they think they'll get a stack for em? Hell no. They're playing the game. Someone will come down to the price set they're looking for. Same thing happens here. They're not stupid. They throw out a highball number so that when negotiating begins, they have a higher starting point. You can't really topple a system of greed by asking for a pittance.

Let me ask all the naysayers this: If you think this whole OWS thing is bogus, what do you make of the recent LARGE (several million dollar) cash "donation" by JP Morgan Chase to the NY City Police Department, and the subsequent aggressiveness by the department? Bunch of generous folks up there at Chase I guess
what basis does a 20/hr minimum wage have vailidity? Please, explain. Minimum wage is already high, minimum wage isnt for people to survive their entire lives on, its for people who start out and have a job at the bottom rung. Its for teenagers and college kids. Its not for some 45 year old or some 30 year old. its for 16-22.

TELL ME WHY THEY SHOULD GET ANY INCREASE IN THE MINIMUM WAGE?? LET ALONE 20$/HR. the fact they want $20/hr for the most menial jobs, AND free borders is just one big pile of laugh. Seriously? you think these no working kids will be able to compete against a flood of immigrants that are actually WILLING to do the work? No, they dont care , because they will have their LIVING WAGE which means who gives a shit if they get a job, theyll have free govt money.

Their argument for having a 20$/hr minimum wage is because they are INCAPABLE OF MAKING A DECENT LIVING BECAUSE OF THEIR OWN FAULTS. Thats it. I dont think i should subsidize someones inability to make a living.

These ARENT people slaving away at blue collar jobs being mistreated. Id be more sympathetic then. These are SLACKERS, IDIOTS, FREE LOADERS who havent worked a day in their life demending free shit on the backs of everyone else. They probably come from WEALTHY FAMILIES. I mean who protests corporate greed then says "im eating mcdonalds". Or is talking on their Iphone? These people had a moment of silence for Steve Jobs, the epitome of capitalism and corporations lol.

FYI I think Goldman Sachs is a big a cheat as there ever was, so are some of the other big banking systems out there. BUT WE COULD HAVE LET THEM FAIL , but who bailed them out? BUSH AND OBAMA. SO why arent we protesting Obama since he is in power?

Their list of demands shows who they are, they want to transfer all the wealth from the rich to them, the poor, because it would make them ..........rich. They want to take from people with money because they have none. its sad, its pathetic, and i hope they realize how stupid they are
