Peter Schiff Speaks at Occupy Wall Street





Reason.tv followed investment guru, radio show host, and unflappable defender of capitalism Peter Schiff as he spent three hours among the Occupy Wall Street protesters in Manhattan's Zuccotti Park.

An unapologetic member of "the 1 Percent," Schiff argued with all comers for the better part of an afternoon.

Schiff is no ordinary observer. As the prinicipal of the financial firm Euro Pacific Capital, he's a full-fledged and unapologetic member of "the 1 Percent." As an outspoken radio show host and commentator, he not only predicted the housing crash and financial crisis, he railed bank and auto-sector bailouts as they were happening. Schiff believes that capitalism offers is the only hope for young, frustrated people to have a vibrant and prosperous future. So he went to Occupy Wall Street to engage and debate the protesters.

Touring the Occupy Wall Street scene in New York with a sign that read "I Am the 1%, Let's Talk," Schiff spent more than three hours on the scene, explaining the difference between cronyism and capitalism, bailouts and balance sheets, and more.

"The regulation we want is the market," said Schiff. "That's what works."

Schiff describes himself as "sympathetic" to the plight of the OWS protesters, but thinks their anger is misdirected at legitimate business interests and should be better at the White House, Congress, the Federal Reserve, and the crony capitalists they've bailed out.

Occupy Wall Street for the 99%




OWS is fighting for you whether you like it or not. The goal is to get money out of politics and take gambling out of banking. OWS isn’t going after a figure head like a president, the Teaparty got that one wrong. Congress holds the power, congress makes the law, congress goes to bed with lobbyist and wall street.

No matter what party you belong to those with the money will continue to move jobs overseas, write the tax code to favor themselves and leave us to starve in a a nation that has spilled blood and gold to make it safe for these bastards to do business.

No ideology, no matter how strongly you believe in it will keep us safe from the elite funneling money out of our great nation.

So long as we maintain this left, right, you are wrong, I am right toxic conversations, we remain indentured to to this financial coupe.

Joe Rogan on Occupy Wall Street #ows



Joe Rogan shares his views on the Occupy Wall Street protests on his podcast: The Joe Rogan Experience. OccupyWallSt.org/

Why Occupy Wall Street 2011

Will we keep assuming there's a difference between Liberal and Conservative lies? They all do, they are all bought by wall street. You and I don't have skin in this game but we keep pretending we do with this left, right fantasy.

Those that have, are taking from those that do not. Being a GOP servant won't save you from the continued pillaging of America's wealth and recourses by the top 1% nor will being a DNC member. You and I cannot debate with freedom when corporations are considered "people." When the people with all the money write the tax code. Either we are on the same side or there won't be a side, just the have mores versus the rest.
