What a bunch of whiny bitches.

I'll remember that when you get laid off and can't find a job.

I don't see them bussing me either, I'm too busy trying to find a damn job! Those miserable ****ing degenerates in Washington have run this country so far into the ground that people my age are being referred to as "the lost generation". Then this guy has the brass ****ing balls to come in here and call those who have two brain cells to rub together to start a thought and get pissed about it "whiny bitches". I'll remember that when he's looking at living on the street, so that someone can show him what it's like to be called a whiny little bitch when the chips are down.

I understand these protestors wish to adopt socialism to replace our free enterprise system and way-of-life. I think they should all get jobs and get off of their parents' and the gub'ment (that is intentional, and not meant to be rascist) teat. Welfare is designed to get you back on your feet after a crisis of the financial kind. It is not free money.

While we're at it, let's share the wealth! It can't hurt, right? Surely, no. Let's take from the haves and give to the have-nots, while the government and those who feed well into the politicians' greed, corruption, and agendas rape the nation's finances an let the middle class and poorer STARVE. Doesn't bother us, as we liberals think for only ourselves.


Yeah right. Do note the sarcasm. Get a job, and if you truly wish to help the nation, exercise your rights constructively. Try writing your senators and representatives, and learn the government's inner workings and how they apply to business and daily life and foreign affairs. Ask questions, and THINK. Most of all, consulting the Almighty will be the best thing of all to do.
This is ludicrously insane.

PaleHorse A ****ing-men.

762NATO you are delusional. You are so confused because you can't for a second step away from a television or radio and think about your part in this American dream. In the last 3 decades the divide between the middle class and the upper class has been shredded. Do not kid yourself you are the 99% percent just like everyone pretty much on this forum.

The Top 1 Percent of Americans Owns 40 Percent of the Nation’s Wealth

The Top 1 Percent of Americans Take Home 24 Percent of National Income

The Top 1 Percent Of Americans Own Half of the Country’s Stocks, Bonds and Mutual Funds

The Top 1 Percent Of Americans Have Only 5 Percent of the Nation’s Personal Debt

The Top 1 Percent are Taking In More of the Nation’s Income Than at Any Other Time Since the 1920s

 

[stormrider54]

Pale Horse and BRBrett or anyone, What do we do about it?

 

[762NATO]

"Delusional", eh? Maybe. That is an arguable debate. Do you have sources to validate you facts, BRBrett? I do not wish to argue, but I am curious, as I have not heard this before.

 

[Yrdawg]

Pale Horse and BRBrett or anyone, What do we do about it?

One answer would be to have the very promises kept that were made by osamo and his " team " in reference to transparency

Looking back just maybe 3 years ago very few people could have a conversation about politics, now seems like everybody has an opinion
It's good that the protest people are awake, funny how necessity will do that for you, the more upheavel about government the better IMO, more talk, exposure, will equal more action by people who can make the difference ( voters )

I can see why the irritation. Lots of freeloaders who pissed their shot at success away by getting art degrees and the like with no intentions of using them. Now they have debt, etc.
Then you have the legitimately unemployed like the people around here who worked for gm before they shut down the plant. It's obviously hard to find a $30 hr job to maintain your lifestyle when all you know is line-work.
I still believe if you want to work badly enough, you can. May just not be your dream job.

Outrageous generalizations that have no factual standing.

Lol look at you guys picking on the people out there who are standing up and fighting for change while you guys sit back with dip under your lip and go 'Obama is a muslim.' Get the **** outta here. You know there are problems but as long as they aren't your problems who gives a flying ****, right?

[762NATO]

Yeah. I am disabled, at least in the eyes of the state , and admittedly, I do have some researching to do so I am better informed, but there are some of us who need that check. It helps pay the bills, the rent, and keeps me and my mom on our feet. (I live with her for now.) To see SSID be so abused by many that can work without difficulties like getting around without tiring out, the thought of "Will this employer discriminate against me just because I walk funny and am not as fit as someone who does not care about their job but is physically normal?" seems almost void. Yes it is irritating....

 

[BRBrett]

I totally agree that some abuse the system but this isn't that. This is strictly about change and not a political message saying change is coming but a hard pressed, boots on the ground message that change will happen.

Those nor up-to-date, which I will admit I am not, and need to further explore the protest's reasons for sparking off, tend to so so, but also those backed in a corner when intimidated. What would you do about it, and do you agree with their methods? I certainly do not, and despite generalizing, think that the system can be refined. Yes, I agree the Fed and business are long overdue for a good bit of coherent, positive change to their corrupt natures and cushy relationship, but not socialist in nature. I ponder as to why you attempt to stereotype me as an undereducated hillbilly that ridicules what he knows not of or dislikes. Is not that generalization?

say what? I went to school with plenty of them. They still have the same jobs they had before they got a degree, just more debt now. I call that self evident.

change is needed, but in op link, it looks like a lot of people got themselves in the trouble they are in.

everyone still needs to get off their iHighhorse and man the hell up... he's not making fun of people who are just down on their luck or whatever you want to call it... he's saying that these people created the crapholes they're in and now they want to make a fuss about it...

I'm proud to pay taxes that go to help some single mom who's husband was killed in a war, or to pay the medical bills of a veteran, or to bridge the gap between jobs when someone's plant shuts down. What I have no pity for are preventable and foreseeable situations. Many of which are prevalent in op link.

I pulled this from the forum page of occupywallst.org This is indicative of the moronic mindset behind this idiocy.

Proposed List Of Demands For Occupy Wall St Movement!
Posted 7 days ago by LloydJHart (Vineyard Haven, MA)

Demand one: Restoration of the living wage. This demand can only be met by ending "Freetrade" by re-imposing trade tariffs on all imported goods entering the American market to level the playing field for domestic family farming and domestic manufacturing as most nations that are dumping cheap products onto the American market have radical wage and environmental regulation advantages. Another policy that must be instituted is raise the minimum wage to twenty dollars an hr.

Demand two: Institute a universal single payer healthcare system. To do this all private insurers must be banned from the healthcare market as their only effect on the health of patients is to take money away from doctors, nurses and hospitals preventing them from doing their jobs and hand that money to wall st. investors.

Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment.

Demand four: Free college education.

Demand five: Begin a fast track process to bring the fossil fuel economy to an end while at the same bringing the alternative energy economy up to energy demand.

Demand six: One trillion dollars in infrastructure (Water, Sewer, Rail, Roads and Bridges and Electrical Grid) spending now.

Demand seven: One trillion dollars in ecological restoration planting forests, reestablishing wetlands and the natural flow of river systems and decommissioning of all of America's nuclear power plants.

Demand eight: Racial and gender equal rights amendment.

Demand nine: Open borders migration. anyone can travel anywhere to work and live.

Demand ten: Bring American elections up to international standards of a paper ballot precinct counted and recounted in front of an independent and party observers system.

Demand eleven: Immediate across the board debt forgiveness for all. Debt forgiveness of sovereign debt, commercial loans, home mortgages, home equity loans, credit card debt, student loans and personal loans now! All debt must be stricken from the "Books." World Bank Loans to all Nations, Bank to Bank Debt and all Bonds and Margin Call Debt in the stock market including all Derivatives or Credit Default Swaps, all 65 trillion dollars of them must also be stricken from the "Books." And I don't mean debt that is in default, I mean all debt on the entire planet period.

Demand twelve: Outlaw all credit reporting agencies.

Demand thirteen: Allow all workers to sign a ballot at any time during a union organizing campaign or at any time that represents their yeah or nay to having a union represent them in collective bargaining or to form a union.

These demands will create so many jobs it will be completely impossible to fill them without an open borders policy.
