I love the fact a mild scolding from a little girl makes the Mighty-Righties totally lose their shit.

Seriously, a 12-year-old child was your arch-nemesis. That sculpture of the Brave Girl or whatever it is down on Wall St. must haunt your nightmares like fair voting and diabetes combined.

Your video, Payne ...Wall St over GameStop: All of this whining ..., has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Aww! Is Donald J. Hoover, the guy who's killed more Americans than al Qaeda and ISIS combined, going to soil his ruffled panties because the painful truth of his statements is being thrown back in his puffy, orange face?

That shit ain't nothing compared to what's coming if he decides to murder millions of Americans to save his Wall St. buddies come Easter.

Hillary is a globalist pawn of Wall St. I'm certain she'll go after the rich! /sarcasm

We have 4 years of this and at least one scotus judge that can interpret the constitution, or 4 years of the worst possible person to run for president in...ever.

The sad thing is, I could be referring to either presumptive nominee. Either way. expect another Wall St. crash and/or mini-Depression again.

She gets more delegates because most of the superdelegates had already said they would vote for her before the primary even happened. This is the game that is primary season in the US. She is actually very smart since the popular vote means nothing, it all comes down to how many delegates a candidate has at the convention. While Bernie has been railing against Wall St., Clinton has been quietly getting superdelegates to promise to vote for her. There are 2436 total delegates at the DNC of which 714 are "superdelegates". In September, Clinton already had the votes of over 400 superdelegates. Check out http://www.electoral-vote.com/evp2015/Pres/Phone/Sep02.html for more on how this process works.

Couldn't make it through. This should be obvious.
We have flourished because we are SOCIAL.
Look at any modern city. We are strong as a SOCIETY. And weak individually.
Yes, Wall st is ignorant as fuck and has cherry picked the meaning of evolution. Just like Ayn Rand and other psychotic morons.
Capitalism is just a cover for modern slavery. That is why all we hear in the U.S. is socialism is evil.

And that somehow negates Warren's support of the Ex-Im Bank how, exactly?

But fine. You don't like Mercatus' take on Ex-Im, how about Rolling Stone's very own Wall St. lefty, Matt Taibbi's, take on the Ex-Im Bank which he describes as "A federal slush fund that gives away massive low-interest loans to companies that a) don't need the money and b) have repeatedly made gigantic contributions to the right people."

Yup, sounds like something any true "Champion" against Corportatism would want to support. <eyeroll>

EDIT: Why would you even argue the point? Are you that naive??

The kennedys are all born into wealth. So are all the Saudi princes. Perhaps if we could all make $250,000 per speech like Hillary, we'd all do all right.
I wonder what Oliver makes?

Let's set up a commission and decide how much Oliver will make. We can put me in charge. Then we'll see how much he appreciates the free market system.

Yes, I know it's not really 'free'. Obama loves to prop up Wall St, so perhaps we could all work for Wall St.

Vacate Wall St.

An article about it from the Telegraph: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financialcrisis/9682263/Occupy-Wall-St-protesters-wipe-5m-off-Americas-debt.html

This may be the case but it isn't what is going on here.

This initiative is buying distressed debt only, that is, the organisation who gave the loan has decided the cost of attempting to reclaim that loan or the chances of reclaiming a significant amount is futile. So they do sell the actual loan for cheap, to debt collectors, who employ more drastic measures than larger organisations want connected to them. (speculation, I'm not familiar with why these are more attractive to debt collectors).

Rolling Jubilee acts as the debt collector but doesn't collect, it buys the loan and cancels it. Then it hopes these people with cancelled debts, come back and donate a little, now that they have less burden.

That is the general idea, granted when people hear "loan", they think mortgage but this isn't the case here. Rolling Jubilee is unlikely (or never will) enter that area. They will be buying personal loans, medical loans etc. Smaller loans. It is already outlined how better performing loans, such as student loans, are off the table.

However from my understanding, it relies on the IRS remaining co-operative and for the regulations to stay within these bounds that keep it legal and charitable. So the cancelled loans are not counted as profit against Rolling Jubilee, at which point it all crumbles.

It has some merit but it also has a lot of downfalls and it also does jack shit to Wall St or banks, that is misdirected attention to garner support I gather.

(My understanding, could be incorrect)

P.S. Also it should be noted this is hardly for the 99%, it is for a much smaller percentage of the 99% who fail to pay their loans, good loans are not sold off. So really, this is the less troubled 99& bailing out the 99%'s further down on the scale. It basically boils down to a charity, it just abusing some loose regulations.

>> ^Edgeman2112:

Granted, I know little about this and someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure they're getting mortgages and mortgage-backed securities mixed up.
The mortgage is a loan. You owe 200,000 on the loan at 4% interest. This is debt.
The mortgage-backed security is a derivative; Theoretically it's a piece of paper whose value is derived based on that mortgage and the credit score associated with it. It's like stock in a company.
When they talk about doing away with debt, that's paying off the mortgage.
When they talk about buying 1,000,000$s worth of mortgages for 50,000$, they think they're also referring to the mortgage, but I'm pretty sure it's actually the leveraged mortgage-backed security. Buying those securities doesn't give you ownership of the loan. There is still 200,000$ that was lent by a bank out there. It doesn't just convert to 50,000$.

In reply to this comment by Buck:
>> ^ulysses1904:

Are there any studies you can cite documenting the "issue of the incredable (sic) rise in police violence"?
>> ^Buck:
Then there's the issue of the incredable rise in police violence too.



Ya if you haven't seen the rise first hand it's hard to show. A canadian cop was fired recently over a taser incident where he killed someone....in youtube search police shootings. I saw one where the perp was shot IN THE BACK as he ran. Another where a cop's pistol went off accidently and he shot a kid in the head (ok that might have been an accident) Also start looking at MAINSTREAM media, there's lots there on the police state. Also look up the G20 riots in Toronto.
I have nothing to cite because it's happening all around us daily.
