At what point will we stop taking anyone seriously that complains we have too much regulation?

Willards ties to the inspiration behind “Greed is Good” reveal a far darker side to his time at Bain.

The Occupy Wall Street protesters have been standing against the big banks for a few months now. They are protesting the greed, irresponsibility, and fraud that banks like Bank of America, Citigroup, and JPMorgan Chase commit on a daily basis. The big banks of Wall Street caused an economic collapse.

The Republicans, who were elected in large numbers in 2010 ostensibly to address economic policies and get our economy revved up, instead have focused almost solely on social policies while obstructing every single bill put forth by Democrats to deal with the fragile economic recovery.

Seriously, proposing that citizens on tax-payer funded welfare do not squander other people’s’ money on risqué and risky endeavors is a perfectly sensible proposal that I think everyone can get behind. However, that same principle should apply to corporate welfare and all the wall street executives

Willard Mitt Romney is the personification of the unctuous, deceptive greed and mortgage bubble lending that lead to the great economic abortion of 2008.

The most fascinating (and oddly humorous) thing has been both the attacks on Romney’s campaign – mainly from Newt Gingrich – and the circling of the wagons around the former Massachusetts governor by the very people who weren’t all that crazy about him to begin with.

Without a crushing defeat in Iowa, Romney’s path to the nomination is clear. No amount of evangelical enthusiasm for Santorum, or youth and independent excitement for Ron Paul, will make a difference. Unless hit by a huge scandal, Wall Street’s man won’t lose now.

Despite whining from the professional left, Wall Street donations make up a small part of Obama’s funds. Mitt Romney’s money, on the other hand, has come largely from Wall Street. Food for thought for those saying that both parties are the same. The true hypocrisy, as usual, comes from Ron Paul.

It’s easy to see why Republicans hate the arts and educational shows so much. They think creativity and learning are ‘socialism.’ Many artists, authors, and musicians have found success because of the National Endowment for the Arts and millions of children across the country enjoy Sesame Street.

It seems many of us have forgotten the Occupy Movement. While we gear up for Christmas and New Year’s celebrations, hundreds of thousands of Americans are still in the streets, protesting Wall Street and fighting for social justice. To that end, OccupyMarines have renewed their vow to defend the protesters from the brutality of police forces across the country.

Across America, it’s the Christmas season, and the Republican Party has lost all reason.

Republican strategist Frank Luntz, whose sole job is to massage and twist facts so as to neatly coincide with the GOP corporate agenda, is naturally worried about the political ramifications of Occupy Wall Street.

In times of great need, Americans have answered the call to action in the effort to push America towards a brighter future. This is one of those times. On November 17, 2011, Americans across the country took to the streets and began a massive day of protests against corporate greed, corrupt politicians, big banks, and the top 1%.

Matters pertaining to the Federal Reserve has largely been relegated to Republican Presidential Candidate Ron Paul, but Alan Grayson breathed new life into the Fed’s sordid dealings during an appearance on Countdown last night.

In a time of unprecedented economic quality and unemployment (see Occupy Movements), in which the top one percent control 42 percent of financial wealth while 15 percent of the country is on food stamps and unemployment is still hanging at 9.1 percent.

In another instance of police brutality during the massive day of protests on Thursday, the NYPD dragged a woman into street by her hair. A CNN reporter caught it on tape.

Today marks the two month anniversary of the OWS protests. In recognition of that, protesters held massive protests today in New York City. Over 1,000 protesters flocked to the streets around the New York Stock Exchange to protest, clogging traffic and clearly disrupting the flow around New York’s financial district.
