OWS storms Wall Street

Quote from sheda:

LOL its a moped and its on his foot.

It would be pretty funny to restore order in the park with about a dozen Clydesdales. Have one of them step on your foot, and of course the smell of manure would freshen the place up.

Quote from oldtime:

are the protesters then a part of the population that is at risk and needs police protection? I mean that's there job isn't it? To protect the population.

or do you mean it's the cops job to protect the majority? Majority of what? There are more protesters there than innocent by standers.

You can't have it both ways, you keep juggling logic until it finally says the cops can shut down the protesters.

Next case:

People vs Mr Ed.

"Your honor, Mr Ed stepped on my foot."

Mr Ed, (Why the long face? the judge wonders)

"Nayyyyyy" (in his best harry reid voice)

Quote from sle:

(a) The graph on the right does not seem to have any connection to reality. 2mm household income is definitely not top 1% and not even top .1%. There is less then 100k tax payers in this country that have this kind of income.

(b) Somehow it escapes these people that to get to 1% or anywhere in life you have to work, rather then sit on your arse in lower Manhattan. I am all for making sure that people do not starve and have a cushion in case they fail. So yes, I am willing to pay more on the margin (even though it's like 48% already) but please do not villify me while taking my money at the same time.

a. The graph averages income. Even if you ignore the top 1%, the top 20% made out well too.

b. If you look at the media who villyfying who? Obama wants to close the loophole of rich billionaires paying 15% tax while you pay presumably 40-50%, Boehner calls this class warfare on the rich. Who's waging class warfare in reality? People take one look at the graph and everybody knows the one waging class warfare is the one spreading the reverse propaganda. Yes, the rich need people like Boehner to protect their money. Just take a look a the graph, clearly the rich are losing the class warfare against the poor. I mean the rich makes less and less money because of taxes, while the poor make more and more money because they pay no taxes. Look at the graphs!

Ok, who is villyfying whom? Well, when I started at Bankers Trust in 1995, mentioning that you work on Wall Streetn at a bar was (almost) a guaranteed blowjob. These days it's a guaranteed kick in the nuts. If I had to say it, it seems that I went from being a regular Joe to the "Supreme Destroyer of The American Society". I am proud!

it's pretty good for a regular joe become a supreme anything. But I think you are suffering from delusions of grandeaure. (or however you spell it.)

most likely you went from being a just regular joe to just a regular destroyer.

I don't know who you think you're talking to, but we're not the regular guests who show up for dinner at your fancy house and believe all the crap you tell them because they don't understand what you are talking about.

Are you still claiming that it's easy to make 100% a year trading options if you have a small enough account?
