Suppressing Nonviolent Dissent
Veterans assaulted with truncheons, women dragged through the streets by their hair, grandmothers pepper sprayed in the face, peaceful protestors bludgeoned while sitting. Sound like something authorities in Egypt, Tunisia or Syria would order and condone? Think again. It's happening here in the US.

They just want the system to be made fair again. People work harder for less, while more and more that used to be covered by our employers or government is being pushed onto our laps. The system is breaking down, and the middle class is being eliminated. Don't blame all Americans for the mess of the world. The problem is the 1%, who have no national loyalties, and see all of the 99% as their serfs. The 1% is the problem, and that includes AUSTRALIAN Rupert Murdoch, one of the most vile of scum in the 1%.

When was the system ever fair? It used to be that the poor had literally nothing. Today, most "poor" have a place to live, food on their tables, a TV or two, air conditioning, and a car.
Unless you're talking about the small minority of people like those who live in Appalachia, you're just flapping your gums and making nonsensical noise.
And, what does "fair" mean, anyway? Fairness in America means equality of opportunity, not equality of outcomes. If you want a society in which everybody is equal, try Cuba. There, everybody is equally miserable. Is that what you want for us? Because that's the ineveitable result of what you seem to be asking for.

Me again. I like the idea that the Cuban system is faulted, yet your blind to your own faults. I suppose that if you follow your own equality of opportunity concept that the Occupy movement has a good chance of succeeding in America, if they keep working hard at it. Go for it guys.
Down under we think a little different. +1 on the bugger off US military and their corporate blood suckers. Up yours Rupert.
Think I'm done now.
