First, Liberals are now ironically 'Pro-Occupier'-- they always seemed to hate being the occupiers in the past. Maybe they need a clear exit plan with a very specific deadline? They should be demanding one...

Second, these protesters are what we historically call 'useful idiots' who happen to be self-diluted kids being used by a certain 'Community Organizer' maybe? Useful Idiots as we know are truly despised by their leaders. But their pot induced parades cause them to think they are bringing on some kind of 'revolution.' How useful they are... But, hey! I'm sure they always wanted to play the starring role in their own movie... heroes they will be! These are the same kind of people who made up anarchist parades in England... like one of their signs suggested, might I ask? Are they representing 99% of the population?

Demonize Wall Street, where business gets their money, what do protester want ? More jobs shipped overseas ? Millions have their retirement based in stocks. I and maybe your parents are the BAD GUYS. For we live on the profits of Wall Street.

obama gave position to create jobs in America to CEO (whatever) to man from GE. He's giving plane company to China along with the jobs and technology. With job makers like him, who needs enemies...

A little honesty here. BOA started their $ 5 per month charge for some debit card users (essentially those who have a debit card and nothing else with BOA) AFTER the Democrats passed a bill that limited the amount BOA and other large banks could charge a retailer (interchange fee) for accepting debit card payment to HALF of what smaller banks and credit unions could charge. This charge is a direct result of goverment intereference in something it has no business being involved in. Their are a lot of things BOA should be ashamed of, but the debit card fee is not one of them.

Occupy Wall Street is in danger of being taken over by labor unions. That will kill the movement before it has a chance to develop.
