Or the repeated rewarding of risky behavior (see: TARP) rather than prosecuting those who have engaged in fraudulent behavior, both in the private and public sectors? Or just generally creating such deep-seated policy uncertainty that businesses are discouraged from expansion or investment?
i do not feel that way what so ever i am just not cool with government in bed with corporation occuy doesnt hate rich people they hate corporatism the rest of that quote i agree with you completely and would like to add that the rate of people that are unemployed is higher than the unemployment rate because the unemployment rate only includes those receiving benefits

The fact that (apparently) hundreds showed up at each location on McDonald's Hiring Day is revealing. Why weren't they at McDonald's a week prior, or a month prior, or 6 months prior, applying for jobs? McDonald's apparently intended to hire 50,000 workers in April -- which is roughly the same amount of workers they hired last April for the summer. The only difference is that this year they picked a specific date and stuck a PR-friendly name on it.
what do you mean apparently? do a google search something like mcdonalds hiring day turnout you will see second as far as showing up on the day advertised instead of a week earlier are you serious? ok lets say you are head of HR at a company you advertise a job fair for the company and several people show up a week or a few days early for a job idk about you but me personally, i wouldnt hire someone who couldnt follow simple instruction

and if you had read my posts and clicked my links you would know i already debunked that "list of demands" fox news is running with that has the $20 min wage demand dude you gotta do your research and be skeptical of EVERYTHING especally mainstream meda occupy is NOT who the media makes them out to be im not in full support of occupy brain said it well is is a cluster fuck of different groups though i think they can all agree that they want to end corporate corruption in the government |

You are right. I made a sweeping generalization that anyone who would spend days and days on end hanging around in public places without doing anything must be unemployed. They certainly must have money coming from somewhere.

1) For most of society's problems, society can and will find a solution; gov't is the wrong institution to solve most problems and makes things worse. Statists confuse society and government, and the roles of each. 2a) That the "people" via "voting", get to choose wise, selfless, morally upright individuals to lead them. The reality is the opposite. The most ruthless, deceitful, amoral individuals have the skills to project a desirable persona and rise to power. Psychopaths. This is especially true, the more centralized the power. It is much easier for psychopaths to be outed in say, county politics than national politics. 2b) That if "people" get to vote on issues, they will vote "correctly". The reality is that people are easily manipulated by the media and the people in power, through brainwashing and the use of emotion. Just look at the appalling economic ignorance of the Occupiers. |

occuy doesnt hate rich people they hate corporatism They fail to understand "more regulation" gives more power to the fox guarding the henhouse, and leads to even *more* Corporatism. They do not understand how the free market works and how there is such a thing as market regulation, which is much more equitable than gov't "regulation". The latter always *reduces* free market competition, and is favorable to the big boys. |
