What do you think of this "occupy" movement?

Hi, this "occupy" wall street "movement" smells a little "fishy"! Like a "socialism" radical group! So who is behind it? Washington? Obama? Who?

    Not one person is behind it but is the sentiment of those making unfair salaries. Incompetent individuals get paid a fortune yet hard working people get paid little. Obama isn't behind this but does support it. If he didn't, he would have condemned the movement.

    It is a socialism group, look at all the younger people in that group, because they used to get everything they wanted, from their parents, but now that they are over the age of 18, they where kicked out and now have to fend for themselves. Well socialism gives benefits to everyone, and makes everyone equal.So you can be dirtbag with no job, getting free money for doing nothing, while every hard worker has to pay up for them. Then people who work hard look at those people and see how they are getting stuff for nothing, and stop working. So then the whole country goes to ****. Socialism doesn work, We are currently in debt because of socialism programs such as, Medicare/Medicaid, and social security.. those two alone add up to 1 trillion dollars a year, and i didnt even include welfare, and what will soon to be universal healthcare, this country makes 2 trillion a year, yet we spend about 3 trillion. The main people behind this movement is socialist parties, and who to blame is everyone on capital hill

    I like a lot of what it is saying.

    But as far as the people standing with signs and sleeping in the cold, they are mostly students, organized and supported by the usual "professional left wing radicals." Just as those who show up to TEA party demonstrations are mostly old folks, organized and supported by professional right wing radicals. There is no such thing as a truly grassroots movement, and it is only when your demonstrators number in the hundreds of thousands, that you can say that your cause has matured and the politicians must listen.

    The Communist "Working Families Party" and the actual "Communist Party of the USA" are big supporters.

    (Neo)-Nazis -- being followers of a peculiar kind of Socialism -- also voiced support.

    The actual participants would get angry at these statements, but that's the truth -- they are just tools, useful idiots fooled by anti-Capitalism propaganda.
