The Occupy Wall Street Movement is WORKING!!!

[Katzndogz]

Organized labor has hitched their busted wheel wagon to a bunch of freeloading pricks. Good move. 93% of us are union free. Unions are on their death bed because most people cannot stand them.
Oh, before you go off on tangent about the repeal of the anti collective bargaining law in Ohio, that vote was the knockout blow to public worker unions in the Buckeye State.
Beginning in 2012, public employment in Ohio will see thousands of permanent layoffs as cash strapped cities and counties will have no alternative but to slash public employment.
The voters basically ties the hands of their own elected officials.

In the early 1980's many copper mines in AZ were going on strike. Phelps Dodge had warned they were going to be closing mines as it was and could not afford a labor issue.

The unions thought they were bluffing (high quality ore in Chile was kicking PD's rear).

They went on strike. Most of the mines closed for good.

The mines closed eh? Then how come this article from a year ago says:

Arizona's vast copper reserves generate billions of dollars of annual revenue.
​

Did you read your own article?

Freeport-McMoRan Copper and Gold Inc., is the biggest mine company in the state. Do you see Phelps-Dodge there?

It's obvious what happened. Phelps closed the mines, everyone was left unemployed, and the company was acquired by Freeport. The union was broken down to reality, and new contracts that did not murder the company were negotiated.

Cleveland Dodge sits on the board of directors of Freeport, no doubt Phelps-Dodge made out pretty well. They got a hefty chunk from the sale, and executive jobs at the new company. The real losers was the union, and the union members left without jobs.

It's called killing the goose that lays the eggs, then complaining because there's no more goose.

Yes, just like the Tea Party


MAN SHOT DEAD AT OCCUPY OAKLAND PLAZA – Protesters Harass & Block Reporters From Taking Pictures (Video)

OWS: Man Fatally Shot at Occupy Oakland Camp; 2 Fatalities in One Day So Far For Occupiers - YouTube

Someone was killed in the Occupy Burlington camp in VT last night, as well.

To be more specific, someone committed suicide in the Occupy Burlington camp last night. The police were then forced to disband the camp temporarily in order to investigate the scene.

It's a waste of time to even remove the body. All it's going to do is give the shitters something else to whine about.

The "body" was removed because the person was still alive. Hard to consider removal a waste of time.

It looks like, once again, the 1% did just fine and the 99% got the shaft (pun intended)

Sometimes this is the only way to defeat socialist retards demanding the moon without being interested in compromising for just achieving orbit.

And it was the 99%'s fault for forcing the 1%'s solution for being unreasonable. So who's fault is this again?

This is akin to a child playing with matches blaming the match for the burned down house and not accepting their responsibility in the act.

Our Local OWs folks erected a tent 2 days ago and had a burn barrel to keep warm. Chief of police went by yesterday and gave them until nightfall to remove the tent, tables, tarps, burn barrel, and trash.

Today during our Veterans Day Celebrations on the square there were 5 protesters out there. If you look hard enough you can see them gathered together somewhere behind the Marine Corps League....

"On September 17th, men and women of all races, backgrounds, political and religious beliefs, began to organize in nonviolent protest. These men and women represent the 99% with the goal of ending the greed and corruption of the wealthiest 1% of America. Occupy Wall Street is a leaderless resistance movement which began as a call to action from Adbusters, a Canadian-based anti-consumerist organization."

The richest 1% would never have come into existence thousands of years ago without the institution of chattel slavery.

The greed and corruption of today's 1% still depends on ignorant slaves for its survival.

Wall Street ran a $516 trillion dollar derivatives Ponzi scheme that destroyed the world economy, and no one went to jail for it.

Thank God for OWS.

An Occutard failed at commiting suicide.
Imagine that.

Someone donated 2 dozen tents to the Occutards in Woodruff Park a few weeks ago in Atlanta. They could not figure out to erect them and the urban outdoorsman that occupy the park year round had to put them up for them. Word today TB is spreading amongst the new urban outdoorsman of Atlanta, formerly known as the Occutards.

Why didn't anyone go to jail over it? BECAUSE THEY WERE ONLY FOLLOWING FEDERAL LAW--ditto head.

No one was breaking the law. The Federal government opened the door--and the flood rushed in. During the 1990's the Glass/Stegall banking act was DEREGULATED--with the approval of Robert Rubin--Clinton's treasury secretary and Alan Greenspan--who both fully supported and defended the derivatives market--and against all warnings of the "black hole"--they still defended it. They are since on video recording APOLOGIZING for their hand in this financial collapse.

They weren't following the law.
They were using the loopholes their attorneys found.
The law that repealed Glass/Stegall was offered, supported and passed by Republicans.
Phil Gramm led it.

But that isn't true. I am no where near the top 1% and those people do not represent me.

LOL....just like I predicted 3 weeks ago, the tragedies have started at these k00k-fests. Only the hopelessly duped think this is coincidence. More will be coming...........and no coincidence. When small business starts taking hits, there were very angry folks out there and they have nada to do with Wall Street. Fcukk with their bottom line? Bad shits gonna happen. The thatched cottage dwellars have no clue who they are dealing with.

With all the bad conduct by banks, credit unions are a much better option for keeping your money out of the hands of the banksters. Why give your money to someone who doesn’t respect you or your financial health? See what I’m talking about at learnmore.asmarterchoice.org. There’s info about making the switch, too.

That's the solution. Vote with your feet.

I moved my money to RBC, but they are being bought out, so I may switch to a credit union.

Over 1,000,000 Americans have moved their money out of the big banks in the last month thanks to OWS.

How long before the Republicans call for abolishing credit unions?

Don't make it all a Republican/Democrat thing! I know many republicans and libertarians who support OWS! Don't fall into the left/right trap!

Democrats are as much to blame for everything as Republicans. This isn't about parties!
