I suffered through the whole video, especially when the guy called Peter an idiot halfway through. That is sad since I highly respect Peter Schiff. It should be quite obvious he won every little debate in the video, especially with the other so called "1 percenter" near the end.

I give him a lot of credit trying to talk sense into those uneducated people. It doesn't say much for our education system that we have such ignorant people in this country.

Mrs. and our kids took the train and came to downtown Dallas, to have a picnic lunch with Occupy Dallas. They met me at work downtown, and we all went and visited the Protest folks. They were very nice and pleasant. Our daughter chatted with the Police, and various protester types. She is counting it up towards a Civics Badge for Girl Scouts.

why wouldnt they be nice and pleasant? their problem is that they are braindead.

the wall street bailout already fueled a powerful movement, the tea party movement. the tea party movement will be controlling our government after the 2012 elections. no more bailouts.

Wall street is a place where business conduct business.
Get these unemployed consumers out of here.
Every unemployed consumer who is protesting should forfeit their unemployment benefits.

Soon these protesters will be back home spending their unemployment money on new tv's and computer games.

How about let freedom ring.

Wall street isn't just where business is conducted. It is where crimes are committed every single day.

How about an SEC that isn't bought and paid for.

Hippocrates?

Most protesters still can’t define their goals beyond ending capitalism and making life more fair, which means they want other people’s money.



Six weeks after turning a small park into a fetid slum and spawning ratty imitations across the country, the socialist-inspired movement with a union face and bulging bank account is at a crossroads. The insistence that there are no leaders and that everybody gets a say on everything is yielding a gridlock to make Washington proud.



The cash marks an embarrassment for a movement supposedly railing against capitalism and wealth, especially now that a radical group called the Alliance for Global Justice is legally sponsoring the protest. By lending its tax-exempt status -- for a 7 percent cut! -- the global-justice group allows donors to deduct their contributions from federal taxes and gives its own board control over the money.Six weeks after turning a small park into a fetid slum and spawning ratty imitations across the country, the socialist-inspired movement with a union face and bulging bank account is at a crossroads.http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/l...ryxW8.facebook

the SEC is a government entity, maybe the protesters need to protest them instead of "wall street."
