Why are people fed up with the current financial/political system? (Inside Job vid)

Why did the financial firms get a $700 BILLION bail-out from the Federal Government? Watch the movie, "Inside Job narrated by Matt Damon." This movie is an analysis of the 2008 financial melt down of the Banking industry and what has lead to some of today's public frustration and a major cause of the Occupy Wall St. movement. I saw it On Demand for free from my cable company. I think its also running on Starz or Encore regularly. Here's the preview:

When I used to lived close to NYC, every once in a while, I would run into guys that worked in the financial district in lower Manhattan and they would blow through money like it was confetti at a ticker-tape parade. I'm talking $5 to $10 grand at a time, and these guys weren't even that high up the ladder yet. The guys who are at the top do whatever the fuck they want because they have the politicians (the law makers) in their back pockets. Watch the documentary and you'll see what I mean.

walls street, big business, capitalism, is not to blame.

blame should be pointed at the politicians, they make the laws.

the protest should be at the white house, not on wall street.

the occupy wall street protestors are losers that i would never associate myself with. they are crapping on cop cars, crapping in the streets, crapping in peoples businesses, they are spitting on people, they are having sex in the streets, they are destroying what ever they touch, if they were in your neighborhood you would want them arrested.

that is not how you protest.

i have been to several protests here in nevada and we never did any of the above mentioned things, we just wanted are voices heard.

thats my 2 cents

The problem is not just wall street and the politicians, it is the federal reserve. All money is debt, every dollar in circulation was created by the banks when someone takes out a loan. They do not print the interest for these loans. If everyone were to try to pay off their loans today, there would be no money and people would still owe because of the interest/usury.

So what is the solution, end the fed, and have a commodity base money system, not this monopoly money bullshit. If money was not debt, it would not always be headed back to the banks. It would stay in the system and the banks would have to come to the people for the money.

They make laws for whom? "walls street, big business, capitalism" yes.

You don't associate with people that are willing to stand up against an oppressive system.

i dont associate myself with disrespectful losers.

crapping on cop car

spitting on female

sex in street

crapping on local businesses

i repeat i will not associate myself with such low life and yes i am better than them. i can protest without disrespecting others around me.

This is just propaganda. Quoting Fox News from the sound of it. You clearly haven't been to Wall street and seen the clean up crews that are the protesters.

no not fox, i havent even been watching the news lately, you can find it on many news sources online even out of our country. i have seen the pics from multiple news sources.

You haven't been pepper sprayed yet or attacked by waves of Police lines? What makes you believe people in NY are savages when you are so sophisticated? You have been lead to believe they are crapping on cars and spitting on people. Think about it, why would anyone do such a thing if you wanted support? You wouldn't clearly. DO you have any video footage of this happening? No you do not clearly. You have filled in your memory with words from a Neocon network.

when i protested here none of us got peppered sprayed or arrested because we werent crapping on cars and spitting on people.

i guess its all made up and its bushs fault :)

All these new sources your listing are not independent media, they are part of the yes you guessed it. Corporate Media Network.



You just used the magic word "Them" You are them, they are you. The same social and economic class. If you don't understand this....




The incident your talking about happened in Boston. Not NY. The people in that rally said, "it was not anyone we, know that spat on anyone"

This really is beside the point of the protest. Hundreds of hours have gone by with tens of thousands of people and this is focus of the news? Someone had an alleged spittle blown on their clothes? Perspective is a wonderful thing. Forget the main issue. An unknown person spat on someone. Forgive me for saying that is retarded as fuck.




Spitting on people? That implies its a mode of behaviour of the protesters when it is not. I've only been able to find one picture of a guy with his ass on the side of a police car, the image has no date stamp, is of an unknown person and there is no fecal matter to speak of. This is hardly an avalanche or epidemic. The only problem has been sanitation in the park. Unrelated to this poo myth.

You're following the finger, not the text in this event. Also you have conflating the issue of people being pepper sprayed as they stood peacefully and without provocation. There is video footage to confirm these events. Unlike the unsubstantiated spin that has you preoccupied with the quality of the protesters. Who would fall for such simplistic subterfuge.

CIA, have you heard of the Venus Project?

Also, I had never heard of Islamic Banking or how it differed from our established system, thanks for the info. Very interesting.

You seem to suffer this symptom a great deal here. An emotional response, not a logical one.
