CPCFTW Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 1. Want more equality. 2. Despite being a minority, want to use force to bring equality to the majority. 3. Repeat mindless slogans, eg. We are the borg! You will be assimilated! We are the 99%! (Insert repeated hippy sentence fragments here)! 4. Obsessed with cubes (probably). Please feel free to add more similarities! Quote

BubberMiley Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 OWS terrifies the GOP because they're saying much the same thing as the Tea Party. Quote "I think it's fun watching the waldick get all excited/knickers in a knot over something." -scribblet
jbg Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) See this: More pearls of wisdom. Edited October 31, 2011 by jbg Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).
Shady Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 OWS terrifies the GOP because they're saying much the same thing as the Tea Party. Complete nonsense. The Tea Party is about less government. OWS the complete opposite. They all want handouts from the government and from taxpayers. Not to mention, there didn't need to be police at Tea Party protests, people weren't sexually assaulted, cops weren't assaulted, and people weren't shitting on the ground. Quote
jacee Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 Nobody's scared. Definitely laughing though! One thing I've noticed is that the real 1%'rs are taking notice and, I suspect, being much more careful about their predatory practices.They are more aware and more interested in the conversation than some un-1%'rs who aren't in a position to change anything, but just continue to parrot the mantra they've been given. I don't see you as part of the real conversation, Shady. Your comments will change as you are given new mantras, but you aren't a real participant. Quote

Not when it comes to wealth preservation and management. They are always two steps ahead of the government and always ahead of rag tag protesters. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
jacee Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 Complete nonsense. The Tea Party is about less government. OWS the complete opposite. They all want handouts from the government and from taxpayers. Complete nonsense. They want jobs and opportunities to become taxpayers. And they want the 1% to become taxpayers too, and stop sucking money out of taxpayers. Stop corporate tax breaks, corporate subsidies and corporate fraud, and finally make corporations and wealthy predators STAND ON THEIR OWN TWO FEET, GROW UP, AND JOIN THE REAL WORLD. And it's about friggin time the whiners sucked it up and stopped blackmailing government for OUR money. Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 ...And it's about friggin time the whiners sucked it up and stopped blackmailing government for OUR money. This is why the cause will ultimately fail...it is not OUR money. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
GostHacked Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 This is why the cause will ultimately fail...it is not OUR money. What I find funny is that during the GOP debates someone asked along the lines of 'How much of my money should I be able to keep?' The right answer is .. all of it. If it's not our money, who's is it? Is your money really your money? Quote

If you need to buy trucks for your business, that's a cost built into your pricing. Likewise, the (eg) highways you need to drive them on have costs ... taxes. That's a business cost, and it's not 'your money' until you've paid ALL the costs. Quote

I'm not an advocate for a Flat Tax but by your logic that means the price of living in Canada is different for everyone. Quote
GostHacked Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 It's not 'your money' until you pay the cost of doing business in Canada. It's my money because I am working, and my employer pays me. I don't work for the government, they work for me. At least that is the way it is supposed to work. If the government does not work for me, I should stop paying taxes then. The government money is also collectively 'our' money because we work our asses of to pay taxes than end up getting wasted on really stupid projects. If you need to buy trucks for your business, that's a cost built into your pricing. I am not following your argument. Likewise, the (eg) highways you need to drive them on have costs ... taxes. That's a business cost, and it's not 'your money' until you've paid ALL the costs. And those roads are paid for by taxes taken off money I earn. Quote

Corporations are HEAVY users of taxpayer funded public infrastructure and should pay taxes accordingly, but they don't pay a fair share - ie, they don't pay all their costs of doing business in Canada.

I'm curious what you thin "their fair share" Quote
