Wall Street Protests

[Catfish Bob]

It feels like a revolution is about to start in this country or something, but at the same time I don't think a lot of these youngsters have any true idea what it is their protesting in the first place.

I agree.

Some of them are on top if it and know whats up while others have no freaking idea.
A month or so ago when they started promoting this "Occupy Wallstreet", I got the impression they were going to protest bank bailouts, inflation and the devaluation of the dollar.
I guess as more people joined they started protesting for all kinds of stuff.

From what I've read online some of their demands are.
Free college yeah right. Did the private school thing my entire life so did all my family just about. The next generation (toddlers now) will also, God willing, go to private schools. So why tax us even more to pay for others college?
Another demand one trillion dollars in infrastructure spending.. Yeah lets print more money to spend so we can increase the debt and inflation. What I thought they were protesting against in the first place.

They wanted another one trillion dollars spent on something else but I can't remember what for,,,,

Conspiracy You can find this on a lot of sites but supposedly the IP address for the 1st "Occupy Wall Street" promotion is addressed to a United Nations office in NYC.

Divide and Conquer

My advice to anyone would be to stay far away from these protests. I predict their will not be a good outcome from this unless the protest stops.

In this country you vote with your wallet/pocket book. A massive boycott against Chinese made goods would do much more good than standing in the street.

Testify brother testify!!! I agree...

However, if a boycott of this nature happens be prepared to not buy anything from Walmart, Target, Best Buy or hundreds of other places because I bet 80% or more of their stock is made somewhere besides the U.S.
