Which is the exact goal of this administration as the major groups financially supporting the OWS movement are closely allied with this administration.This adminsitration and its radical Socialist, Marxist, and Communists affiliations are a significant threat to this country and her Constitutional Republican form of government.

Additionally, the debt and our energy dependence are significant threats to our national security.

I agree, which is why the anti-American communists protesting now are the greatest threat today.

There's nothing wrong with regulated capitalism. This notion that the only way to success is deregulation to the point of making money by screwing people over is asinine. People who refuse to admit that our congress isn't bought have some serious studying to do.

It would appear much of the OWS fails to recognize most in Congress have sold their souls for personal profit and power of political position.

Jefferson would agree with the 99%ers in saying that banks are the bigger threat. He said they are bigger thread than standing armies.

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. Thomas Jefferson, (Attributed)
3rd president of US (1743 - 1826)
