Occupy 2.0 : Destroy U.S. Economy with Lawlessness
Breitbart ^

Posted on 11/23/2012 7:20:52 PM PST by chessplayer

Where is the Occupy Wall Street movement headed? It’s not back to long term camping in the parks. Their explicit goal for the next step of the movement is the destruction of the United States financial system.

Anyone doubting this isn’t listening, because not only have leading leftist thinkers like Francis Fox Piven laid out this strategy, but the Occupy Wall Street movement has even written the instruction manual.

First, the theory. In the last section of the Stephen K. Bannon film Occupy Unmasked, viewers are warned that the Occupy movement is just beginning. One of the left’s most revered figures agrees. On the anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street movement on September 17th in The Guardian, Francis Fox Piven wrote a piece entitled "Occupy's protest is not over.

Government actions and government policy caused everything that you point to.
The financial mess was caused by the financial community trying to figure out what to do with bad loans which our own government FORCED into the system.
Some private sector banks handled this pressure wisely, some did not.

certainly there was a share of forced loans. nobody forced the government to give me a loan however. the amount they approved me for was outrageous. it was way over what we should have been able to pay. I was shocked. maybe we are just very conservative with our money but we bought a house valued at half what they approved. millions of other people got loans the same way. approved by banks with the bank speculating the home value would go up. government involvement aside the banks throughout all the lending rules and are a big part of the problem we face today. it is simply too convenient to your political argument to only blame the government.
