  • tired of your antics and narcissism | 0  

    you use your money to destroy our fragile eco-systems.  you are financing pollution and the destruction of our oceans.  you send the jobs overseas and then lie about it.  you steal money from taxpayers and live off the misery of others.  you treat people and animals like units of production and use them up with no remorse.
    
    shame on you all.

    I don't know what planet you plan to move to when your greed destroys this one.  When everyone has a better life, the top one% does too.  Why don't you realize this and help us.  You can't run away forever and you can't eat your dollars.

  • It is Dr. Phil time for you guys!!! | 0  

    The native Americans of this country felt that anyone who hoards resources the way you guys do was probably insane. I happen to agree, you can not eat money and all the power in the world will not get you away from the 99% of us..so really? It is time for you to have a nice long talk with a therapist about how insecure you actually are!

  • A sense of ethics and morals | 0  

    If you think you deserve to make up to 400 times or more than what others workers make, you're not only wrong, you are immoral. If you think that those complaining are ignorant and powerless, you would be mistaken. You say you believe in God, when all you believe in is money, at the expense of any goodness that any God or Jesus could instill in your soul. You buy our government and call it democracy. I call it Fascism.
    I have cut up my Chase card, and am disengaging from my accounts at Bank of America. I am buying as much 'local and small' business as possible. I use credit unions, public transportation, and buy 2nd hand, to give you less.
    Becuase you make me sick - and I am the middle class!
    When people perpetrate a crime beacause they have never known equality, you need to say, hmm, I guess we created the inequality, so I guess we deserve it! You pay less than me to drive on the same roads. You get better medical, dental, paid time off - your kids get a better education. But their not as wise, because they have no sense of equality, of descency, of ethics or morals. I feel sorry for them; and you.

  • No trickle down but a 99% chance of rain! | 0  

    Wall Street you have officially and servery  over stepped your bounds.  It is becoming clearer and clearer to the 99% that you guys are doing great harm to our society with your reckless disregard for everything besides making money.  We the 99% have had enough.  Your days of rule have officially ended.  We will hold you accountable.  We will teach you to share and play nice.  No more trickle down, but a 99% chance of rain for all!

    You used the bail out money for what?  Retreats and bonuses at OUR expense?  You lousy crooks.  Its time to make wall street accountable for the PONZI SCHEME they pulled off on Americans.  Time for jail for more than just Madoff.  Its time for ALL of you to see prison bars.

    WORK WITHOUT PAY IS AN ISSUE WE THOUGHT WAS SETTLED IN THE 1850'S AND YET IT SEEMS TO BE THE GOAL OF CEO'S AND THE EXECUTIVES WHO RUN 'OUR' FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS.
    SALARIES KEPT ARTIFICIALLY LOW, RETIREMENT, WHEN POSSIBLE, COST OF LIVING INCREASES? FORGET ABOUT IT,A GENERATION LOST TO "BUDGET CUTS", AIR AND WATER QUALITY CONTROL A THING OF THE PAST, GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE - BUY YOUR WAY OUT? ETC.

  • What the rich have been doing | 0  

    with their tax cuts around here:  I live near a very wealthy community in Michigan--the 2nd wealthiest zip code in the state, actually.  They (you?) walk away from their previous 2 or 3 million dollar houses, and buy a 6 or 7 million dollar house at a short sale at half price of that.
         Another example:  I went to an "estate sale" recently which had an entire household of extremely high-priced objects for sale, and asked if the family had died in a plane crash or something; there were bedrooms filled with toys and children's clothing in the closets as well as adult clothing in many closets. I was told the family had moved to another home nearby, which they were refurnishing.
        These rich are not creating jobs, except for a few movers.  so please do not use the "trickle down" theory claimed by the rich.  Time is now for the 99% to take the country back.  We'll start with recalling those elected who pay no attention to the tax imbalance or their constituents--after we occupy our own city or support those who do.
        The rich care nothing about the fate of the planet, the U.S., countries elsewhere, the poor, the sick, those with no healthcare, the sinking middle class, the young (the average age of the poor is 8 yrs. old), other suffering species everywhere which are losing their habitat and going extinct at the rate of 100-100 per day.
         Your status is ending, top 1 or 2%.  Your 20's era of waste and exploitation is through.  Don't jump out of a skyscraper window, tho.   We'll be watching your downfall, but don't want to see that kind.

    in spirit as we take our civil rights back and return our Constitution back
    to where the founding fathers would expect to see it at. To the 1%, shame,
    shame shame on you for stealing from the middle class and the poverty
    stricken. You cannot know how we feel until you walk in our shoes and those
    brave ones marching now!

  • Too much greed destroys you | 0  

    There is reason why Warren bufett and Bill gate are considered as sharpest people in buisness.  They knew that too much greed will cause destruction of  your beloved capitalism.  Be smart and pay back some of the wealth that you have plundered before people take them from you by force.

    You're sitting on $1.5 trillion that could be lent out to small businesses.  Our economy is at stake here.  If you continue to wait, the people will suffer.
    
    It's not about deregulation; you have had that for a decade.  It's about building up the wealthiest at the expense of the rest of us.
    
    Loan that money out today!

  • ending plutocracy | 0  

    
    
    It is long overdue to begin reclaiming democratic control of the U.S. Wealthy individual & corporations must resume paying their share in taxes, allow their employees to be represented on their corporate boards. The provisions of the Glass-Stiegle Act need to be reinstated asap.  Corporate lobbying & donations to members of Congress & presidential candidates should be prohibited.  
    This woud be a good beginning toward restoring our democracy.

    We people--the workers-the common laborors to the white collar workers, the professors, the inellectuals---all of these people give you power through your financial manipuiation, and we are all used up and tired-no sick to death of your demands to keep your million dollar bonuses rolling in, while we barely eke out a livihg!  It's past time to change this unfair and undemocratic system.  Our Constitution says we ALL have a right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"--not just the top 1% who own the world.  You can start helpingby paying your fair share of taxes!  .

    I earn over 250k but the arrogance and lack of morality of the rich in our country, who couldn't care less about the poor, are not troubled by our uncivilised judicail and penal system, are against universal health care and are unwilling to pay (in relative not absolute terms) a fair share of taxes disgusts me. If you are religous being a decent person means more than believing in a deity!
