“Let me tell what they're talking about. They're complaining about the fact the Wall Street wrecked the economy three years ago and nobody's held responsible for that. Not a single person has been indicted or convicted for destroying twenty percent of our national net worth accumulated over two centuries. They're upset about the fact that wall street have iron control over economic policies of this country and that one party is a wholly owned subsidiary of wall street and the other party caters to them as well, that's the truth of the matter as you said before. And....If I am the spokesman for all the people who think we should not have twenty four million people in this country who can't find a full time job. That we should not have fifty million people who can't see a doctor when they're sick. That we shouldn't have forty seven million people of this country who need government help to feed themselves. And we shouldn't have fifteen million families who owe more on their mortgage than the value of home, OK, I'll be that spokesman.”

"by jamess for dailykos 6 October 2011
“Our whole plutonomy thesis is based on the idea that the rich will keep getting richer. This thesis is not without its risks. For example, a policy error leading to asset deflation, would likely damage plutonomy. Furthermore, the rising wealth gap between the rich and poor will probably at some point lead to a political backlash. Whilst the rich are getting a greater share of the wealth, and the poor a lesser share, political enfrachisement remains as was -- one person, one vote (in the plutonomies). At some point it is likely that labor will fight back against the rising profit share of the rich and there will be a political backlash against the rising wealth of the rich. This could be felt through higher taxation on the rich (or indirectly though higher corporate taxes/regulation) or through trying to protect indigenous [home-grown] laborers, in a push-back on globalization -- either anti-mmigration, or protectionism. We don’t see this happening yet, though there are signs of rising political tensions. However we are keeping a close eye on developments.”", '

“Occupy Dallas is the local presence of a national movement that is growing like wildfire. Within a matter of weeks, over 840 cities worldwide have joined the Occupy Movement, with literally millions of people joining in the protest. Our movement is leaderless and diverse. At virtually any Occupy headquarters you will find teenagers holding signs alongside their parents, retired elderly couples, veterans of virtually every war, off-duty law enforcement, homeless citizens, doctors, corporate executives, local business owners, teachers bringing their students, and citizens of virtually every age, minority, socioeconomic background, and political party. Our movement purposefully and proudly goes beyond dividing lines, with the intent of bringing ALL Americans together to start a discourse with each other and call attention to the injustices that have been allowed to corrupt our society for too long.”", '
