Excuse me Bachmann. Did you just suggest the poor give up a couple of Happy Meals? #yesyoudid.

Newt sorta missed the part of history on income inequality and the Great Depression, eh?

“Unfounded accusations” = decade-old settlements. Well, okay.

Romney says Obama campaign is behind the flip-flop charge. Guess he missed the ads from the Hunstman campaign:

KT, There isn’t any live stream on the web.

Well this should have been Cain’s debate since it is the 9th debate except for that 9th woman showing up.

Occupy Wall Street: A Vision for A Movement by and for the 99 Percent!

How do you arrive at a “cohesive and coherent message” without discussion on what the message should be? Are you suggesting that it should somehow be handed down from on high and exactly who would that be? Absolutely there needs to some focus but the movement doesn’t have structure and many voices want to plea their case until they can arrive at the “cohesive and coherent message.”

Winter camps? Are you saying that the movement is so weak that it can’t stay alive during adverse weather? Don’t tell that to the people in Wisconsin.

Em, Isn’t that exactly the purpose of the ‘breakout’ discussion groups, to refine, define and hone their message? I’m a bit confused, people want a unified message, but it can’t be discussed? Saying it has to be a political message and not a policy message seems to me exactly what the MSM demands and it is a bit constraining. I agree a message needs to be pared down to some unifying message, but we need to remember this is quite an organic movement.

Too soft, too hard, too cold, too hard and Goldilocks ran back into the woods. It’s a discussion group with given subjects not any conclusions/declarations or a manifestos.

But do they support the Unions, Sue? Many Unions have been saying many of the same things as #OWS for years and been ignored. While Unions were being diminished by the same forces that #OWS complains about now, where were they then?

Break-Out Group Discussions for Sunday 11/6 General Assembly: Demands.

We demand a massive, democratically-controlled public works and public service program, with direct government employment, to create 25 million new jobs at good union wages. This is to be paid for by new taxes on the wealth and income of the rich, on financial transactions, and on corporate profits, by reinstatement of the Glass-Steagall Act, as well as by ending all U.S. wars, disbanding mercenaries, ending aid to authoritarian regimes, and closing overseas military bases. The new jobs will aim to radically expand access to education, healthcare, housing, mass transit, and clean energy – and are to be open to all, regardless of immigration status or criminal record.

Weekend Music Thread – Daylight

Not to be snotty Em, Sue, but I believe it’s known as the “Inter-coastal Waterway.” That aside, it is quite a beautiful system, I have spent many hours on it in the Florida portion pretending I was fishing but mostly enjoying the wildlife. It was always teeming with birds and a vast amounts of sea life. Oh, how I miss water ways where I live.

(and yes, I have to get political but many of the connecting pathways were done by that damn Fedrul Gubment and are still maintained by them at taxpayer expense)

You inspired me Cher, with what you wrote. 😉 It’s the same thing with their understanding of estate taxes (Luntz’s “death taxes), they think it will hurt the middle class or not allow them to give their used car to the grandkids, when it only effects the top 0.2% of the top 1%. Romney is trying to do that with his lowering the capital gains tax for people making below 250,000 and making sound like a big deal when it effected a very small percentage of people.

Even with all the missteps and buffoonery Cain has made, he has put forth the flat tax subject and developed the non-Romney movement alive. As ridiculous as the 9-9-9 plan my seem, it is a plan that the Forbes/Koch’s have wet dreams over, and he is keeping the talkers talking about it and the non-thinkers believing it. Something Romney wouldn’t couldn’t do. When Steve Forbes ran for president he had a snowballs chance, and he spent personal millions on his folly. Best investment he made in a long time. He got investment taxes, estate taxes and corporate taxes lowered in time that saved/made him many fold millions in the long run. Is that what Cain is doing for the Koch/libertarian wing?
The plan would not only lower taxes but starve SS and Medicare along with many if not most social programs. If if they don’t get the 666 plan, he keeps the conversation alive and they hope that they can get a portion enacted.

Just a thought.

This may seem a bit OT but this is what disturbs me about the Cain Carnival. Part of Adlib post’s poits to it. His blatant ignorance! Would you, would anyone speaking at a G-20 conference where his advisors were David Koch and the Cato Institute? He can’t even explain his 9-9-9 plan and he would speak at the G-20?
Contrast and compare with the above video to this one:

President Obama and President Sarkozy of France Speak on Bilateral Meeting

Frightening, No? “Hey, Sarko, it’s just like making pizzas.”

j’avaz, it is my understanding that there isn’t a cap on Medicare and absolutely the cap on SS should be eliminated. The major problem as I see it, is that both Medicare and SS contributions are based on wages not income. Many in the top 5% get their income from dividends and investments not wages. I do know a couple of people that they got a ‘raise’ in June because they had maxed out on their SS contribution and they could start saving more for their next vacation/car/house… HUH?

It looks rather obvious to me, not being a lawyer, that they walked all over and wiped their feet on the articles of incorporation, Sue.
