If I’m not adding my totals in my head at the grocery store before I get to the checkout, I feel rich. I want for nothing.

I am an OW protester. I do not care what the rich have.

I care that I can’t buy a house even though I can afford to buy a house. I’m afraid to. I doubt there’s a clear title to be found. Find an honest realtor, a non-shady lawyer, a lender with interested in getting you into a home? Good luck.

It’s a nation of salesmen.

I care that I can’t find a rental in an area that I want to live in that isn’t slumlord owned. I care that homes in my town are collapsing and the town is inexplicibly unable to remedy the “attractive nuisances”-a danger to all. I wonder how this house exists right next to a bizarre McMansion Tara-like monstrosouty…nothing makes sense.

I care that when I asked to read the terms of my mortgage, i was discouraged.

I care that when I read it anyway I was told i had no right to refuse to sign it because I didn’t ask for the right on the contract of sale!

I care that when I still declined, I was told I could be sued because of mistakes all of these people made. I can’t believe these adult professionals were so stupid to do this by accident, but as yet no one has arrested them for fraud despite my reporting of the issue to the district attorney.

I care that my slumlord was cousins with the judge in town (no one knew that). i care that i had no heat, hot water, or oven for six months despite having a lease and always paying my rent in full.

I care that upon taking the slumlord to court in accordance with all rules, laws, filings, and regulations (documentation available) the slumlord held a piece of paper in front of the judge, the judge refused to hear me, and I was given 20 days to vacate. In front of witnesses (but not many. Strangely, this was not held in the usual courtroom, open to the public.)

THAT is what this movement is about.

It’s about not having anywhere to live. It’s about learning the rules, following the rules, and still getting screwed.

The rich can kiss my @ss. I don’t want a yacht. I don’t want a mansion. I don’t even want a big house. I don’t want a tiny dog and I don’t want to go to fancy parties. I could give a rats ass about new clothes. My favorite possession is my ipod but guess what, i could live without that, too.

All I want is to not be lied to. I want to know if I pay for something, that’s what I will get. I want to know if I sign a contract, it has to be honored by all parties, not just ME.

The reason there is an Occupy movement is because there has been a combining of Government and Wall Street, simply put…Fascism……SNEAKY STRATEGIC Class Warfare is their weapon of choice…Just like what occurred in Germany during the last Great Depression…Max Keiser reported there are 600 trillion in fraudulently backed derivatives out there…The result of Wall Street selling investments in anything and everything such as the productivity of the american people…Or as the documentary aired on CNBC, HO– USE OF CARDS uncovered…WALL STREET sold investments to ANYTHING that had a revenue stream…We The People should be sueing all of them out of existance..

In reply to lvent. Check out the movie Margin Call, too, when you have a chance. I saw it on PPV the other night. It's a great portrayal of how the large investment bank (GS, I presume) decided to take down its customers, its investors, all of Wall Street and the rest of America just to get out of its terrible investment mistakes.

Matt Taibi is a true American Patriot and, he really gets it. Matt is brilliant..I agree he does deserve a Pulitzer but they don’t give it people like him…You only get that if you are in the BIG CLUB or support it…. The proof of Matt’s good works are the Occupy Movements…People like Matt, Eliott Spitzer, The movie Inside Job, Bill Black, this website and Lisa at FH, RT News, Dylan Ratigan, Max Keiser are all making a difference, a huge impact. They have woke up the 99%.

Obamation failed to execute the real terrorist, rather help them more to do the same. His comment it’s not illegal but moral issue. Bleeping Washington most are paid and bought by banks, but voted by the people who get their tax dollars pimped (in trillions) I am not voting for him also encouraging other to learn about champaign contributors.
