A Capitalist confronts the 99% at Occupy Los Angeles
YouTube ^ | 10-14-11 | Windowonla

The OccupyLA protesters call themselves the 99%. A self-described 1%'R, a Capitalist, wandered into the Occupy Los Angeles protest at City Hall one evening and confronted the protestors and answered questions that many of them had.

Funny thing is, the protestors enjoyed the discussion with the capitalist and invited him back.

Funny how the protestors liked Herman Cain when his name was mentioned

I like to prove that capitalism is the most non racist non ideological system of trade there is.

Wow. The brothers there loved the thought of Herman Cain and started chanting 999. That alone should strike fear in the WH.

From what I’ve only seen and read, these LA people don’t seem as radically ignorant as the NY mob.

The man showed real stones, walking into the belly of the beast. He comported himself magnificently.

At mark 3:18 -- "You sound alot like Ron Paul, a Repub who is running for President."

This guy has gonads. I salute him for taking the time and having the patience to deal with these folks.

I’m not a 1%’er but I am a 5%’er and I couldn’t have answered hardly any of those questions as well as that man did.

I particularly loved his answer about high CEO salaries.

I’m not nearly a 1%’er, but I’ve paid every single year for the last 30. Maybe a lot of us should put on an old floppy hat and flannel shirt, some beads, and go down and talk to them just like this guy did. We certainly have more intelligence and leadership; wouldn’t it be great if a spokesman for these groups ended up being republican.

What I thought was funny is that they seemed to be Herman Cain supporters.
