It's their own ****** fault.

Leave the banks alone. As Brian Moynihan says, "Understand, we have a right to make a profit." Interestingly, we also have a right to say, "Screw you" and do business elsewhere, as we recently did...

Yes I guess when you leave your trash for someone else to clean ,you have time for your "speelling" studies.
These people are nothing close to the tea party as some idiots on the left stated.Look at their trash and arrests compared to the tea party. But that's the life style they want...let someone else take care of them and their trash.
Disgusting P O S's

How right you are, they learned how to spell J-O-B, now if they only knew what it meant.

I don't know, these are mostly college students, some of the brightest young people out there. i believe what they say, actually means a whole lot more than the older "idiots" that oppose them.

Not to mention Jon is right, the tea Party was a felony!

The tea party of 1700's ? Do we need to go back that far to discredit the tea party ? You loose.

If this is the brightest young we have, we are in big trouble.
Thankfully I know they are NOT.

Perhaps in underwater basket weaving, but when it comes to math and science the United States lags far behind the international communities.

Wow, there are some TOUCHY Tea Party supporters here. I'm just saying........

No, I don't. What you and the rest of "the tea partiers" fail to realize is the fact that the majority of us are consumers. Without "consumers", the very rich will quickly become the menu, as will a great many others.How is it that you cannot see the folly of taking away everything from the majority? If you had listened to what these college students were saying, rather than spewing your own propaganda, you might see that they are Americans looking to achieve the American dream on an equal playing field, an American sentiment to be sure. The financial institutions of today, are for the most part looking to find a loophole to boost their bottom line, which is American? And Finally, if you had watched the clip, Jon was saying why call yourself the tea party, "clearly an illegal activity" and denounce peaceful protesters that are being bludgeoned by police, clearly a violation of civil rights?

I take it, you were too young during civil rights demonstrations of the past, or, you agreed with bashing the heads of hippies!

I too am a fan of Jefferson, and recently i got out some of his writings. Your statements of his are taken out of context, and one is clearly wrong. I know he talked about the end of the democracy, but he knew us to be a republic, so, clearly wrong. What Mr. Jefferson did best was to study the science of philosophy, and to look at what the basic outcomes would be. You taking his writings, and using them to bolster your upper class sentimentalities, is clearly anti Jefferson.The man was more of a do as i say, not as i do sort, and grew much in his later years.

At the primary and secondary school level, definitely. After college, this gets a bit murky (especially since we get a lot of the "best of the best" from abroad). Most of the entities that rank universities internationally still think that the US kicks butt - for example those recently released by Reuters:

Since you seem to be an expert on the subject, however, I'd like to ask what your experiences in math and science are?

However misguided these young peoples ideas on how to fix the US may be, they clearly care about our collective future serfdom if it isn't fixed. More regulations sound good, but the big banks and corporations can afford them. Smaller banks and corporations cannot. They'd just be pushed aside, bankrupted or absorbed. I'll bet a lot of the 1% WANT more regulatory measures, as that will ensure they STAY the 1%.
We should just face it- we are not a Capitalist country. The big guys practice crony-capitalism and corporatism.
Things had been trending toward what happened in 2007-2008 for a long time, but the kicker was repealing Glass-Steagal. They could then gamble with YOUR money, and when they eventually lost it, YOU paid for it. We all did, and will continue to pay. Reinstate Glass-Steagal, repeal or legally circumvent Citizens United (what a bullcrap name for what it really is), and get big money OUT of politics!

I don't believe these young people are misguided. The first thing that needs to be done is to display the problem, then come up with ways to fix it.Without the heads being thumped illegally and the cops being used by the establishment for illegal purposes, the people of the US will not pull their collective heads out of the sands. these yoots [ my uncle vinnie] have even said they don't know how, or even if it can be fixed, but they are not going to sit by and watch nothing done. I applaud them!

When I say misguided, I don't mean because they're protesting. I'm speaking of some of their 'solutions' for the problems we face. $20/hr minimum wage, free college education, etc.

As usual, you don't get it! But anyone could tell that by the socialistic comment at the end of your signature. Sounds a little bit like gestapo tactics to me.

Thank you, Helen.

Perhaps your CFO's health would not suffer so much if one of your reporters could cover the Occupy Fort Wayne demonstration next Saturday at Summit Square? I have a strong interest in the ultimate direction this movement takes. I'm interested in the mix and diversity of the participants. What are their expectations from this effort? It should be interesting to also compare the goals established by the different regions across the country.

Nothing planned at this point, just because no one is sure how big of a demonstration it will be. However, if you or anyone else you know from the four-county area is taking part in the demonstration (or one anywhere else), contact reporter Bob Culp at 260-925-2611 Ex: 21 or bculp@kpcnews.net for a story he is working on about the movement and protests.

Hate to tell you this, Tater, but the protesters aren't protesting corporations. They're protesting Wall Street.

Two different things.

They're protesting the wealthy.

[HoosierHelen]

They're protesting the wealthy.

I believe they are protesting for our recently missing middle class. They are protesting the extreme profits being paid to the Wall Street bunch that rake excessive profits from our national economy even while they make poor decisions that costs their Corporations & our Nation major bucks. How we can justify the multi million dollar settlements being paid to FIRE these CFOs for lack of performance is extraordinary.

Meanwhile...Tater...you and I show up for work, do our daily requirements handed to us by management and receive our lowly paychecks (in comparison to the WallStreet CFOs) and we try to measure up with our job performance in hopes of a good annual job review. We hope for a small increase in our annual salaries in return for a job well done. How any tax paying American can not recognize the inequities within our system when our tax money contributes to paying these extreme bonuses to the Wall Street bunch ...this escapes my understandings.

You are hilarious.
