Obviously not trying to convince anyone--just trying to inflame the wing-nut base.

The Occupy Movement already has the majority opinion behind them--this will only illuminate the differences. People peacefully trying to make the government change vs. people trying to inflame hatred and distrust.

This will backfire and the people who already are in favor of needed reforms will see this attack for what it is and more will support Occupy and Warren.

The class war was started by the rich and their dupes, it will be ended by peaceful, civil disobedience.

OWS is a conservative movement. It's the corporatists who are radical.

A risky strategy because there are quite a few conservatives who agree with OWS.

But there are more people who think they are conservative who will never take the time to figure out what it's about.>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:

OWS is, for all intents and purposes, a mishmash of left-wingers running the gamut from left-center to communist/anarchist. Their ignorance is expected but also redundant, as it's the same "message" the libmedia expounds day and night: 'capitalism evil, bigger government good' with the added bonus of pooping on cop cars.

It was government that caused this mess. Greed is counterbalanced by risk and the fear of loss. When government steps in and removes the risk (with OUR MONEY) then certain people are free to be greedy and careless. In this case "certain people" was everyone.

If you'll scroll to the bottom of this page there's a nice (partial) list of culprits.

the government was the cause of this...

by eliminating departments and oversight of corporations/financial institutions,

by eliminating regulations/laws which tied the hands of these same entities from committing the attrocious blunders motivated only by greed that have happened... like commercial banks being involved in investment banking, and wall street creating derivative markets which they themselves police

by attacking people's right to organize, collective bargain, and work with employers to create equal opportunity, reward, and incentive to succeed and innovate... so that 1 person can't be insanely rewarded by running companies into the ground, hurting their employees, the community, and the financial security of MILLIONS

all that risk you talk about being removed... was because they got rid of oversight and regulation

its a myth that government is incapable of being fiscally responsible at the same level or better than private corporations... take the "representatives" who set the budget and throw the money around to their lobbied interests and corporate friends... but look at the actual institutions and departments... these have not only the mandate to be fiscally responsible (fall within budgets, etc) that private interests do... they have the added oversight of people subjecting their cause to scrutiny... private causes are to advance profit, no matter the route

these institutions protect people from interests who aren't responsible to employees, to the communities they reside in, to the country they pay taxes to (or find loopholes to not pay taxes to)

free markets is a lie and a scam, because supply/demand/innovation mean nothing when you are competing with entities that can literally buy the game board out from under you... money is power, and if you have none, you have no power...

that's what government is there for... to give people the power
smaller government is a big business lie meant to distract you from who is really hurting you... the corporations and your bought and sold representatives

huh....I think this ad will have the opposite intended effect.

Elizabeth Warren IS here to fuck some shit up! and more power to her!

In that protester's defense, that was an awesome cop car...

FOR HIM TO POOP ON!

as an ex-lawyer, i feel comfortable saying that the law is largely bought and sold.

and no market is "free" when it is so manipulated by the rich.

what we have is largely a result of a concerted effort of the banks, brokers, and insurance companies to deregulate, which they did in 1999, repealing glass-steagal. it really should be re-enacted
