Peter Schiff is at Occupy Wall Street!

Most of these folks are agreeing with him,,but having a hard time with "Government is the problem" when all their lives they have been taught "government is the solution".

but then that mind set is common across the political spectrum.
 
Littered with misunderstanding though. I am glad SChiff is there, he is making some headway from the looks of it in the videos. The gap in the bridge is closing (for those he's encountering).

Everybody that has been smearing these people as hardcore socialists should be watching this. These guys are denying that and saying they are pro-capitalism.
 
Kudos to Peter for fighting the good fight on the front lines, by trying to educate these people. That one guy quoting Adam Smith was so ignorant, yet so arrogant. Still, I don't think these people are completely hopeless to understand the situation. They have many huge holes in their understanding, but these are the sorts of conversations we have to have with people to snap people into reality. They have the passion, we have to supply the knowledge, otherwise some charismatic Obama type will just keep telling them it's a Wall Street owning the government problem, and they just need better regulations.
 
Hmmm I think lew Rockwell and the mises crowd should road trip it there and set up shop with video cameras too.

They could bring jack hunter, Kane, and Val Venis as body guards if need be.

Jack Hunter has never struck me as a large guy. Sub in Kokesh for Hunter
 
What videos are everyone talking about? I want to see/hear his conversations and what they've been talking about and how he's 'made headway'.

I'm really interested in seeing/hearing this. Anyone got any links? The OP link just had a twitter update and the photo, but that's it.

Left wing loons never blame the government for selling out but keep blaming the special interest for lobbying for the special privileges. Peter couldn't have said it any clearer in regards to the government selling out their power yet these people keep missing the point. I think deep down, these people like crony capitalism but it's just that they want entities that they like to get that special privilege. (example: green energy, unions, student loans).

It's great that Peter is down there talking with these folks but i think these folks are a lost cause.
 
I think Peter may do better if he pulls a few crowd members in to one of his radio shows. Still, can't hurt to try to reach a few peeps live in action.
 
Most people are hopeless, but there is potential for conversions in any group.

Same problem on "left" and "right". people think more Government is the answer. "there aught to be a law".

The education system has been a success. :(

If you can get through to them that Less Government is the answer,,, in every area.
I am trying on another site (ampedstatus),, but some are stuck there.
