3. NYT gave it a few paragraphs. And NY ONE ( Cable) covered...
... it reasonably well.

I'm not surprised the rest shut us out.

That's what they're there for.

21. Patriotism is the last
refuge of a scoundrel.Obama does not walk on water. From what I have seen he is joined at the hip with these banksters that stole 1/3 of our national wealth and put us in the situation we find ourselves. :smoke:

9. It's a start

When all of the ugly chickens that are hatching come home to roost those numbers will multiply wildly.

10. Actually, the ugly chickens are causing those numbers to dwindle...
36% of New Yorkers under 30 years old report they will pack their bags and move to another state.

Young people are beginning to escape the chains that NY has placed upon them.

Capitalism is global.

13. Sure it is

There may be local manifestations which they do not recognise as part of the capitalist onslaught upon the rest of us but it all comes bak to the economy and those who control it.

14. Oh it's capitalism all right. They might not
realize that it's capitalism...YET. But it is and, as pig said, they won't escape just by changing addresses.

20. There ARE no socialist states.........
There are states with more social programs, but they're ALL part of the bourgeoisie dictatorship. And getting more bourgeoisie all the time.

19. True. And boomers also. We can't afford to stay because of...
... housing. Retirement $ does not go far here.

I'll likely be among them in a couple.


Life goes on.

16. Yep. That's "hundreds" all right.............
:sarcasm:

However as satisfying as media attention might be, this is NYC and Wall Street. The belly of the beast. Mammon's lair. In this case media attention would be secondary to SHUTTING THAT DEN OF INIQUITY DOWN! Everybody that can do it ought to be in the streets EVERY DAY! Do NOT let them carry on their global capitalist schemes without a watcher. Do everything you can to SHUT THAT FUCKER DOWN! MAKE THEM SCARED TO DO BUSINESS AS USUAL!

17. 2009:
Two dozen dorks in colonial costumes carrying "Taxed Enough Already" signs:
24/7 coverage for months on end.

2011:
Thousands protest on Wall Street.
Not one minute of coverage.

Darned librul media!
