Blame the Government not the 1%.

.

@chilaxe I'm not putting scare quotes around the 99% just because you want the whole thing presented with a mocking tone. Oh, and it's meant to be a reference to income percentile anyways.

Also, if you want to present a case that the factual claims made in the video are false, nobody's stopping you from doing so, though just saying "it's not true" isn't really gonna cut it.

In case you're curious, here's the page at CAP's website with the video, including links to sources for the claims made in the description. They also have more here.

99% of the people do not support or have much of anything in common with the OWS crowd.

We are all screwed by the debt the GOVERNMENT ran up, but Wall St. is not to blame for that.

We would have been far better off if those firms that were bailed out were simply allowed to go bankrupt.

These bailouts have not helped the economy, only spread around more poverty.

Big fail for big gov't.

yes and no. The 1% consist of corporate titans who have, essentially, lobbied to the point of bribing-if-not-outright-buying the congress men and women who make up the government. So, while, sure, the government may hold much of the "blame," as it were, the fault resides with the corporatocratric kleptocracy that our government has become.>> ^bobknight33:

Since the 1% pretty much runs the government, I'm not sure that they should be immune from blame. >> ^bobknight33:
