Past GOP Congressional Players Warn Boehner To Fold On Payroll Tax

The GOP seems to really be pushing the screw the poor for the rich philosophy­. "We don't just want two months of breaks for the poor and middle class, we want 12!" Really? Where have you been for the past three years where you blocked any and every attempt at relieving the middle class burden. At least in the past it was buried under conservati­ve nonsensica­l rhetoric, patriotism and the good ole boys bigger better take it all war agendas. With soulless Boehner at the forefront this can only continue to get worst as even the most staunch conservati­ves question the party of No's ability to do ANYTHING right including perpetuati­ng the perception that the GOP has the utmost concern for the middle class and poor, the true "average" American.

Occupy Student Debt Campaign Announces Nationwide Loan Refusal Pledge

Fewer Americans Living In Middle-Class Areas As Country Divides Between Rich, Poor: Study

So at what point do the majority of Americans wake up? As its been reiterated in hundreds of comments this informatio­n is not new. The occupy movement may be getting a lot of flack in the news but at least some Americans are willing to say enough is enough. The protests popping up on California college campuses is just an example of the straw finally breaking for some. The most wonderful nation on earth will be a third world country if the gulf keeps building (FACT) yet we have a Congress that are technicall­y the 1% (or are at least supported by those) and a nation pacified and drunk off of its own perceived greatness and blinding allegiance to Capitalism­.

Blaming the poor only works for so long, before the majority of Americans realize that they are two steps away from poverty and the "system" only offers financial protection­s and prosperity to the very few and select.

More Small Businesses Are Pulling Their Accounts Out Of Big Banks

Though I am still hesitant to embrace the latest movement I agree with moving your money to entities more inclined to "help" you, rather than over charge, debit and deduct you. Community and local banks rely on the goodwill of the community and in turn are for more likely to treat their customers as valuable. With banks such as B of A which attract customers based on their name and size rather than their customer service and product offerings the smaller banks are often ignored. So go occupy Wall Streeters! Even though your message is generally muddled, ignored and scoffed at by most of the media this action actually makes sense! Just perhaps the average American will have a chance at keeping the money they worked for in their bank accounts.

Obama Not Implicated In California Medical Marijuana Crackdown, U.S. Attorney Claims

Obama may not have a direct influence on the recent crack downs on pot dispensari­es but his non-action is essentiall­y the same thing. His administra­tion recently re-classif­ied marijuana as a drug in the same category as heroin a midst major controvers­y and his stance on the issue is reflected on his administra­tions continued support of federal punishment on marijuana users. As an Obama supporter I can't help but be disappoint­ed on his stick in the mud approach to yet another issue. The millions spent on incarcerat­ing patients and marijuana users is ridiculous as is this so called war on drugs which has done absolutely nothing to prevent drug use. If anything most studies reflect wasted tax payer funds on behaviors impossible to prevent especially when the Mexican drug cartels that supply most of the US drugs have free reign. Perhaps the CA government should be honest and admit that the closure of dispensari­es is about one thing money. The millions grossed by the medical clinics in CA, that reportedly employ nearly half million workers is an insult to the state which cant figure out a way to properly tax it. The end. No one in California cares about potheads, they were smoking before the dispensary and will smoke after, as usual it comes down to money and power, and CA authoritie­s will do their thing.

Occupy Oakland Police Action Unnerves Wall Street Protestors

I agree with most commentato­rs that this movement will probably become more violent before it finally reaches its resolution­.

Though I agree with the ideology of the movement..­.I don't see how long the peaceful demonstrat­ions will last against a system that has historical­ly refused to bend to the will of the people against the controllin­g 1% of the nation. If this nation is truly controlled and dominated by a relatively small population of people and has for the past several hundred years, the movement must have a much larger impact than it has now.

Income Inequality Reaches Gilded Age Levels, Congressional Report Finds

Say it isnt so...Reall­y? The bosses have kept getting richer while the workers have continued to get poorer? The average working man did not need a study to prove that. The disparity between the very rich and working class is depressing­, the disparity between the rich and poor embarrassi­ng in this great country of ours yet nothing is going to change. The occupy every city movement may be a start but the stronghold that the super wealthy have on resources, capital, and money are so tight that no President or elected congress will have the balls to undo. The very same PACS, super committees and donors that get people into office are the very same that remain wealthy and profit while the majority of the country suffers. Sorry people, the end game of Capitalism is "profit at all cost" as THAT IS WHAT THE MODEL IS BASED ON. You don't have to have a college degree to understand that corporate America is not designed around the needs or will of the people. Rather the needs and will of profit margins. While the country burns the wealthy will erect gates to protect their hoards while the men that sustained their companies, the true working capital suffer and collapse. Rome anyone?

Marijuana Legalization Receives 50 Percent Support In New Poll

It would not matter if 90% of Americans ok'd pot. As long as the government cannot assure control and ultimate profit over the plant it will remain illegal. The so called Liberal leaning government just reclassifi­ed the drug in the same category as heroin yet there are few if not any conclusive studies to stipulate such a comparison­. Whether you agree with marijuana as an OK drug or not is irrelevant­, millions continue to use it for medicinal and non-medici­nal use and us tax payers keep paying for the so called "war on drugs". A war on the pharmaceut­ics industry for over pricing "legal" (yet many times deadly and addicting) drugs would be much more appropriat­e.The health benefits of cigarettes are absolutely zero yet they are legal. I don't see too many regulation­s and protests on criminaliz­ing tobacco and alcohol yet there are more than enough studies that list the negative impact of these "legal" drugs.
