One of the major problems with the movement is the lack of direction. Every interview I have ever seen with anybody from occupy has had the same general theme. Occupy protestors yelling about key issue but proposing no real solution. They could not even answer how much the 1% should pay in taxes.

I think it's really just a matter of having a can-do attitude....I TOTALLY agree with you...the CAN-DO attitude

My opinion on intellience would take this somewhat off topic so I'll refrain.
A dedicated pianist has a can-do attitude. Same for an Olympic-class swimmer, world-reknown biologist and virtually any individual with a talent in any particular specialty.
An eye surgeon is good at fixing eyes. A roofer is good at fixing your roof. A pianist is good at playing the piano. A capitalist is good at making money.
Although most recognize that a surgeon can't help much with one's roof or that a pianist can't help much when one's going blind, society is less able to recognize that having the skills to amass money doesn't make one an expert in diplomacy, intelligence, interior design and a host of other unrelated skills.
The video is embarassing proof of that. Although I admire capitalistic Schiff, diplomatic Schiff leaves much to be desired (or violinist Schiff for that matter).

I take the side of Rickson9, because just like the Gracie off which his username is based, he's the man.
lol
Seems logical enough.
You know Rickson I think you are having a hard time understanding that not everybody is as intelligent as you and the people you may be around. (Maybe I misunderstood what you were trying to say.)
A capitalist is good at making money and a surgeon is good at cutting people open; but I think the person who committed to be a surgeon (and became a great one) is the same person who would be a very rich (or extremely efficient) capitalist if he chose that path.
Some form of intelligence that I do not know how to describe is the deciding factor in between.
The old Roman quote comes to mind right now, it goes something like. . .

since I'm not american, my opinion of the wall-street guys is pretty much influenced from what I've seen in documentaries such as Inside Job, Love of Money, etc... and to be honest, most of these top executive do not look smart or speak smart. but this guy is funny, it requires a lot of courage to speak to an angry mob

Yes, OWS is not organized and some of the mouthpieces they've gotten in the media have been terrible choices (though, in defense, were not a collective decision). Despite this, the fact that anyone would skip understanding what the foundations of the protests are--and SIDE WITH WALL STREET--is amazing.
Schiff looks like an asshole in that video. Is she making a good case? Absolutely not! However, asking her how many she employs to shut her up only shows he also cannot form a coherent defense of his position and must resort to a pissing contest.
Rickson9 (Dec 12th, 2011)
All the Occupiers have one thing in common. They all have no idea what their really protesting. Every video I've seen so far proves it. This one's too funny.
I want to see/hear a coherent OWS present their case. So far, I have only read one article (somebody posted a link here in the forum a couple of weeks back) where there was a strong argument and something that made sense.
Until now, everybody in the crowd seems to be unable to express what this is really about (concrete, actionable stuff, not "gimme all your money cause you have too much and I don't have enough").
"You have too much money, give us some" is not a real argument, is it?

Building the pyramids must have sucked... unless you were the pharaoh.
For all intents and purposes, how is that not an coherent OWS case?
A decentralized movement such as this one is going to be susceptible to people being involved that, while they feel there is something not right about Gov't/Wall Street ties, they can't fully articulate it. And they shouldn't necessarily have to for the issues at hand to be valid.
Does it really take a massive group of people articulating it clearly for people to be convinced that the financial sector currently doesn't have to play by the same rules as the rest of us--and surely it's to their benefit?
And in all fairness, we haven't heard everybody in the crowd. Just the very, very small minority the press has chosen to focus on at times.Until now, everybody in the crowd seems to be unable to express what this is really about (concrete, actionable stuff, not "gimme all your money cause you have too much and I don't have enough").
"You have too much money, give us some" is not a real argument, is it?
Largest Banks Likely Profited By Borrowing From Federal Reserve, Lending To Federal Government
This is Federal money they're borrowing. They borrow it for peanuts, and they proceed to lend it back out for anything but.Originally Posted by Article
They make a bad investments and are about to go belly up, and get bailed out courtesy of the taxpayers.
That would NEVER happen for an individual. This is the problem; there's a dichotomy between how the financial sector and the people are treated.
