99% of marijuana users do not grow it.

That leaves most of 'us' without a whole lot to complain about.

It's a shame.

The occupy movement could have accomplished so much more if they had established a list of goals they wanted to accomplish, and gotten some key spokespeople to be leaders of the movement to help carry out these goals.

The civil rights movement succeeded where they had established leadership and goals they sought to accomplish.

Instead the occupy movement had no leadership or clear explanation to many of their activists as to what they wanted to accomplish.

Maybe next time they'll organize things a bit better.

Im 99% sure that the OWS folks are being slightly misguided.
Economic hard times drive people to knee jerk reactions.
Common sense will always prevail over ideology, because reality is, and Utopia is'nt.
The idea that raising corporate taxes and burdensome regulations will somehow improve the economic outlook of America is unrealistic. The Corporations pass these expenses down to the end user in calculating their costs and fees, and write it off as a cost of doing business. When the cost of goods is driven upward to a point of making competition difficult, then the Jobs are going overseas, that is the socialist way of global market redistribution of wealth.
It was Government regulations pursuant of wealth redistribution that mandated the banks to make the very loans which brought down the Housing, and Mortgage markets.
It should be an occupation of Pennsylvania Ave. as Well as wall street.
And yes, of course the Large Corporations are Supporting the very politicians including the POTUS, with Large donations to their campaign coffers, knowing full well, that the same will demonize them with even more taxes and expensive regulations. Why?
Because they know that they are so well established that they can weather the storm, but that most competitors of a smaller scale, and individuals or companies wishing to establish a business within that market will not. In short, the competition is priced out of the game, securing corporate giants a stronghold on the entire market share.
It's a partnership in global domination. Two heads of the same monster, yet the OWS crowd seems to be under the impression that one will control the other, the reality being that they are the controlled, playing their part in fueling the machine.

heh

And yet, some of the highest taxed countries in the world in Scandanavia and other parts of Europe have some the world's highest standards of living and most educated and innovative populations. Taxation pays for education, healthcare and infrastructure – how's that working out for you in the US, roller?
