Quote from Landis82:
Not to hi-jack this thread, but quite frankly . . . I'm surprised that the American public has been so sanguine about what they've watched their Country go through over the last decade.
It's as if everyone has become "dumbed-down" or "drugged".
Congress doesn't represent the People, and it hasn't done so for quite some time! It only represents the Fat Cats in the Banking, Defense, Drug, and Oil sectors of our Economy . . . and more often than not, the REGULATORS have been in "bed" with the industry that they are suppose to be regulating.
Think that the American people had a chance when that huge entitlement to the drug industry called the Medicare Prescription Drug Bill was shoved down their throats by that corrupt moron Billy Tauzin of Louisiana? Oh wait . . . six months after he retired from Congress he became the President and CEO of PhRMA, a powerful lobbying group for the Drug industry. Think again my friend.
I don't care if you think that some of these people are "misguided" about what they appear to be protesting. I'm glad that someone FINALLY has gotten pissed-off enough to make some NOISE!
And just an FYI:
I was in college back when Volcker raised interest rates to 22% and the Farmers showed up at the Federal Reserve building in Washington, circling the building with their tractors.
I agree with everything you said. My point was they need to be protesting in front of the fed, white house and congress. Those are the manipulators and frauds.
I am also on pins and needles here with how this FTT thing is being played out, and I firmly believe these people do not understand the dire consequences and are being feed a bunch of BS about the FTT from behind the scene liberal socialist who want to destroy capital markets.
