Re: Best way to Occupy Wall Street
Yah sure, like all of the city folks are going to run out and find a farmer to by dinner, produce, home canned peaches, pressed cider, whole hog sides, live steers to butcher, lumber to build your house and garage with, etc, etc.
You are a hoot. Let see here. Xongsmith mentions local independent merchants and local family farmers, credit unions and small town banks, which you actually quoted, but you build your whole argument on one thing, farmers. Either you are extremely dishonest or let you preconceived ideas so blind you that you can not even read what people write.
If Wall Street were blown to bits tomorrow, can you imagine the panic you and all of those nincompoops out their yelling their fool heads off about ??
Funny how I do not recall anyone advocating this. Do you have anything but strawmen to add to the conversation.

Re: Polling the Occupy Wall Street Crowd
Doug Schoen out and out lied in his commentary in the WSJ. This is a clear case where the source material does not support what is said by the pollster.
[quote]At Capital New York, Azi Paybarah has obtained the full poll results, and Schoen appears to have grossly misrepresented the results of his poll. He writes that a large majority are bound together by support for a radical redistribution of wealth. But when he asked the protesters what they’d like the Occupy Wall Street movement to achieve, just 4 percent said radical redistribution of wealth, which tied for last on the list of answers given. There is no mention of radical redistribution of wealth anywhere else in the poll.
Meanwhile, 35 percent said they would like to influence the Democratic Party, Here are the full results of that question:
Similarly, while Schoen writes that a large majority express opposition to free-market capitalism, when asked what frustrates them most about the U.S. political process, only 3 percent named our democratic/capitalist system. Out of 198 respondents, that amounts to five or six people, which is quite the opposite of a large majority. Here are the full results for that question:
Schoen also writes that [s]ixty-five percent say that government has a moral responsibility to guarantee all citizens access to affordable health care, a college education, and a secure retirementno matter the cost. But the actual question makes no mention of costs. [/quote]

What does this show? Schoen is a lying piece of shit.

Yes, but so is your Cato cite. I don't see any links to Congressional records, contemporary news sources, or anything else.
Citing someone else's assertions doesn't prove anything.
At least Cato's assertions asserted information. Your assertions asserted nothing; nada; not even anything relative to Cato's assertions.
I'm waiting to learn from you what it is about Cato's assertions that you consider to be false.
In other words. You got nothing.
