OWS Continues To Do Good, Buys Up 13.5 Million In Outstanding Medical Debt

where Does it say you have the RIGHT to OCCUPY property that you don't OWN?

Right here:




Not arguing with you..the whole thing was just so stupid to being with...Yet you all railed over Tea Party protest..

There weren't many people questioning their right to protest.

It was the message that was debated.

Ain't that what protesting is about?

:eusa_whistle:

private property is not public property, do people protest on your property?

There's no constitutional restriction to protesting on private property.
 
If this organization came out of OWS it's the same kind of good thing as Hamas and Hezbollah do. The Mafia has done some excellent things. The motto of the Hells Angels is "When we do good no one remembers. When we do bad no one forgets".

Performing some good deed or other does not make the essential evil of the organization less evil. It doesn't make it not exist.

^^ Butthurt because right wing filth like you would never do anything even remotely as charitable as these people are doing,...

When an empirical study of the actual behavior of American conservatives and liberals was published in 2006, it turned out that conservatives donated a larger amount of money, and a higher percentage of their incomes (which were slightly lower than liberal incomes) to philanthropic activities.

Conservatives also donated more of their time to philanthropic activities and donated far more blood than liberals. What is most remarkable about this study are not just its results. What is even more remarkable is how long it took before anyone even bothered to ask the questions. It was just assumed, for centuries, that the left was more compassionate.

Ronald Reagan donated a higher percentage of his income to charitable activities than did either Franklin D. Roosevelt or Ted Kennedy. Being willing to donate the taxpayers' money is not the same as being willing to put your own money where your mouth is.

Milton Friedman pointed out that the heyday of free-market capitalism in the 19th century was a period of an unprecedented rise in philanthropic activity. Going even further back in time, in the 18th century Adam Smith, the patron saint of free-market economics, was discovered from records examined after his death to have privately made large charitable donations, far beyond what might have been expected from someone of his income level.

Helping those who have been struck by unforeseeable misfortunes is fundamentally different from making dependency a way of life.

Conservatives Donate More Than Liberals

I knew this crap was coming. I applaud any kind of charity, bravo to anyone who gives, that's why I am astounded at the nasty reaction of some on this board to the news that a bunch of people have been rescued from the horrible burden of medical debt.

It's also a load of bunk too.

One wealthy guys huge contribution because he wants to make things right after a lifetime of screwing people ain't exactly charity.

And I've actually done physical work for charities..which isn't counted into the mix.

I don't see all that many conservatives doing that.

And when they try? It looks ridiculous.

OWS aren't terrorists, criminals and they didn't screw anyone over...and then try to make up for it by doing good works.
 
wow, they got rich somehow? Weren't they protesting against, THE RICH?

all them stinky hippies lowlifes camping out in parks and on people businesses must of done a lot of panhandling while they were at it

good gawd people in this country will fall for anything

Not only are you stupid Stephanie, you're a hate filled, nasty and disgusting being (note I left out "human" since there is nothing humane about you).
 
These people throw a few dollars around and now they are supposed to be our heroes.
After all the shit they put working people through in lower Manhattan alone....

I don't think so!
 
Contrast the $13.5M with the vast amount of free medical care provided by Religious Charitable Institutions that are being assaulted by ObamaCare. The latter provide real services, but Obama wants to keep them from fulfilling their missions.

And the recipients of the free medical care don't get socked with a surprise tax.

Think St. Jude. For one. Catholic Charities for another.


Indeed. And how much debt are middle class people going to rack up in order to pay their huge ObamaCare deductibles?
 
While you can buy up your own debt for pennies, the tax implications are horrendous. The balance of the forgiven debt is counted as income. If you owe $10,000 and settle it for $2,000, you owe taxes on the remaining $8,000. You will get a 1099 for the balance. This is true whether you buy your own debt, or if a company buys your debt. It is not true if an individual buys your debt and forgives it.

So the rapes in the OWS camps never happened? The thefts never happened? The vandalism and destruction of property never happened? Or, are you just ignoring that because it interferes with your portrayal of OWS as a collection of basically decent people?

Don't forget the "doing good" of Occupy Oakland which consisted of assaults, setting a car on fire, breaking windows, and looting small businesses...let alone the absolute filth and garbage strewn all over downtown.

Actually they didn't.

Blaming OWS for everything that happened during their time there is pretty ridiculous.

It would be like blaming the Tea Party for all the murders that happened in the Washington DC area while they were protesting.
 
The Libs don't believe things unless MSNBC says it happened.
There were a few sexual assaults and drug use and harassment of local business owners and
pedestrians trying to get around lower Manhattan.

And what was their point anyway.
Just disruption.
Were they protesting for the little guy.

Doubt it.

They damn sure weren't speaking for me with their ignorant, 99%...
I would never do the despicable things they did...like taking over other people Property
that's the Democrat/Progressive/Commie party, Unions, anarchist, etc, tactics to a tee

That's why the commie Pelosi uses their saying of, standing in Solidarity with them

How about that, private charity from people voluntarily coming together to help others.

Who you described are the real far left, members of the Socialist Worker's Party who eschew peaceful protest and attract the criminal element who are not political, in fact most are simply angry and hope to use a legitimate protest as a means to loot others.

Sadly the far right, of which katzndogz and boedicca represent are too bigoted to recognize legitimate protest vis a vis criminal protest and consider anyone disagrees with them as being a "leftist". I suppose both bigotry and a hateful disrespect for others is behind their continue vitriol of any they do not consider conservative enough.

Which is why I don't even bother to comment about that nonsense.

Conservatives seem to have no idea about the differences.

A lot of those folks are anarchists and have a way of fucking up perfectly peaceful protests.
 
A comment was made - "the funds came from small donors with a little to give to help out those that needed it".

Since this is all being turned into yet another Republican - Democrat bash fest, suppose for a second, the following.

What if more than half of those small donors were Republican? What if it was 50-50? What if the Democrats gave more than 50%? In the end, does it really matter? People reached out to help those who can use it. THAT's the important bit. To muddy it up with all the finger-pointing and posturing... I am pretty sure the people who benefited from these efforts could care less what the party lines are.
