Watch at the 1:42 mark when a police officer throws a teargas canister at crowd trying to attend to the injured man.
In-fucking-credible.

Obama Calls Out GOP, Krugman Calls Out Paul Ryan
Obama Calls Out GOP, Krugman Calls Out Paul Ryan
Here is a pretty lame quote from mental midget Paul Ryan:
“Just last week, the President told a crowd in North Carolina that Republicans are in favor of, quote, ‘dirtier air, dirtier water, and less people with health insurance.’ Can you think of a pettier way to describe sincere disagreements between the two parties on regulation and health care?”
Here is a great response from Paul Krugman:
“Just for the record: why is this petty? Why is it anything but a literal description of GOP proposals to weaken environmental regulation and repeal the Affordable Care Act? So Ryan is outraged, outraged, that Obama is offering a wholly accurate description of his [Ryan’s] party’s platform…. You really have to be somewhat awed when people who routinely accuse Obama of being a socialist get all weepy over him saying that eliminating protections against pollution would lead to more pollution.”
WSJ: "Most Millionaires Support Warren Buffett’s Tax on the Rich"
WSJ: “Most Millionaires Support Warren Buffett’s Tax on the Rich”
A new survey from Spectrem Group found that 68% of millionaires (those with investments of $1 million or more) support raising taxes on those with $1 million or more in income. Fully 61% of those with net worths of $5 million or more support the tax on million-plus earners. […]
Explains George Walper of Spectrem: “What this tells us is that there are a number of wealthy folks who said: ‘Gee, we need to increase taxes to stimulate the economy. No one likes to be taxed more, but the reality is maybe it has to be done.’”
The vast majority of Americans believe millionaires and billionaires should pay a little more in taxes; the clear majority of self-identified Republicans believe millionaires and billionaires should pay a little more in taxes; and now the clear majority of millionaires and billionaires believe millionaires and billionaires should pay a little more in taxes.
The only people on the other side are congressional Republicans.
The only people on the other side are congressional Republicans. Party over country. Always

“Returning to a country, as opposed to just being a market. A return to being citizens, as opposed to being consumers.”For those who think the protesters are radicals, they have this movement backwards. It’s the corporations that are the radicals.
