Apparently they were rioting about overthrowing the capitalist system for which they needed contributory EI..... It just proves the old sating, "For as much things change, they stay the same"
It is when you are relying on private companies (ie Capitalists) for the benefit AND in light of the desire to overthrow the capitalist system.
But no one is trying to overthrow a "capitalist system".
And you still haven't shown how EI is a capitalist construct.
That guy was the Lotion Man of their time. Apparently it was enough to delude people (like Loc, IdRatherbeSkiing and now captan morgan) into believing that extreme ideological views were the only ones endorsed.
Are we really that naive?
You sure do like to pick and choose dontcha?
Maybe the Lotion Man's of all of these movements are the general feeling as opposed to the 'extreme' view that you suggest.
Ya just can't beat brains into the gullible ideologues that support these fools in 99.............
Please don't troll.
The only real cohesive slogan for the entire movement was the 1% thing, and while I'm not going to debate percentages, the idea is rooted in the actual consequence of obscene levels of economic inequality.
And as I mentioned earlier - to which you've chosen (or picked) to ignore - is a legitimate concern backed by educated economists and studies that have been completed over the last 30 years.

Ain't that the truth.
It'll be all kinds of riotous fun to observe these fools when they achieve their goal (whatever it really is) and have to get a job.... They'll be back in the parks in no time, protesting for higher wages that transform them into the 1%
Holy cow! Stop the presses!
You're right... It is physically impossible for these 99%ers to ever get employment of any kind now or in the future.. I think that it's the law now.
Thanks for bringing up that critical question.
They also have to wait long enough for the light to change such that they can cross the street... Is that too long as well?
Damn near 1 in 5 in the US can't find self-supporting employment. Does that make 20% of Americans bums and losers?
Are they looking for work from the capitalist pigs in the private sector?... You know, the folks that they are protesting about?
The minute that these protestors bring something of value to the table, is the moment that an employer will take them seriously.
