They seem to be both too stupid to have a white collar job and too frail and weak to provide any sort of labor in a blue collar job. Here's a recipe for you idiots. If the only skill sets you have to provide to society is whining and playing 40 straight hours of XBOX then you probably will find yourself unemployed for life.

I'm talking generalities here. Like 99% of them fall into this category. Of course there are going to be a few outliers in my research.

And by research he means gross generalizations.

I think most of the Occupy Folks are just tired of Wall Street's tactics of screwing the People and taking the profits.

I also like the idea of The People exercising their 1st Amendment Rights. The Right to Assemble.
Apparently some folks have a problem with the Bill of Rights.

I honestly haven't followed this Movement much. I understand there's no leader? It's just a mass grassroots uprising against the 1% of the population, the 'Haves' ?

It is largely a temper tantrum thrown by the homeless, the lawless, neo-hippies, and drug abusers who are having their 60's rallies about 50 years too late.

you don't have the right to be listened to or agreed with. You don't have the right to assemble on private property.

The "haves" you mean the "earners". Tell me how these people, most of which, pay no tax, have any right to demand to those who actually do pay taxes, that they need to pay more because they are not paying their fair share?

It's the same old, stoned, unmotivated group of hippies. If these people invested half as much energy, effort and commitment to working and trying to improve themselves as they do pissing and moaning about what they don't have, they'd all be part of the 1%

Temper tantrum. That's more like it. Remember, these are the same idiots on here that said Tea Party was a bunch of pissed off angry white men. Now its all about Constitutional Rights and standing up to tyranny. :rolleyes:

Anyone else see Avenue Q? I picture the main puppet as an Occupy Wall Street protester... starting off life after college asking what you do with a BA in English, getting downsized even before the first day on the job, then lamenting the fact that he's not back in college, living in a dorm with a meal plan, feeling smart and special without a real worry about the real world quite yet.

Most of them love to talk about how ALL people need this, ALL people need that, but I'd bet none of them would want to live with, work with, or help these OTHER people on a full time basis. That's the government's job.

You believe! You think! Wow, I'm impressed!

Many of the Tea Party folks were probably retired. Just in case you are from Rio Linda, that means they may have already worked hard for a lifetime, and now are living on their retirements.

What a banal, juvenile response.
As if all them made their money "free and clear" and didn't perhaps benefit from misery inflicted on other humans or non-humans. It takes a lot to make American style capitalism possible. A lot of ugliness most folks just want to sweep under the table and ignore. Some of them are probably even living off some of the state pensions they're trying to roll back for younger people. They probably love their local VAH, yet carry their little placards around bemoaning "socialism." It's such a COS.

Something tells me if the banks had not been bailed out, the financial system collapsed, and 30+ percent of the population lost their jobs, these OWS guys would be complaining a lot louder. Yet, that is apparently what they would have preferred.

A lot. Bloomberg estimated that the government spent, lent or guaranteed $12.8 trillion dollars. Never mind the lost tax revenue from the economic collapse and resulting job losses.

I really don't understand all the mean spiritedness directed at these people. All the sweeping generalizations, etc. Protest and the right of assembly play pretty important roles in the maintenance of any society that claims to be democratic. It's always been a part of our culture, and it's a good thing, too, because there's been a lot that's needed changing. When you're doing well, it's easy to support maintenance of the status quo. But when you find yourself suddenly unemployed, with no insurance, upside down on your mortgage and having a hard time keeping the lights on, all of the sudden things look different.
I tend to take a more compassionate view towards people and try to not be such a hardass.

How do you figure? Our deficits are a trillion plus dollars every year because of the damage that Wall Street did to the economy by being over leveraged in derivatives.

Why does everyone supporting OWS leave out the word "peaceably" when talking the about the right of assembly? Is it intentional?


...or the right of the people peaceably to assemble...

exactely why you don't hear my bitching about it. however, you have absolutely no idea how much money i make or if i do or do not pay taxes. but i can assure you this, i contribute a helluva lot more than the majority of folks sleeping in tents on wall st. and finally, i don't care how much you raise taxes on the top 1%--they already pay 73% of the taxes-- you cant get rid of the deficit with taxes. but what you can get by increasing taxes on the top 1%...less jobs.

save your rhetoric for someone else. when the bottom 55% of this country starts paying taxes, they can complain about whatever the hell they please.

Probably a pretty good portion of it if they have been over 18 for the past three years. Just by my quick count, the debt has gone up about 4.5 trillion, give or take a few billion, the past three years.

Why don't you just admit that the taxpayer gets hosed either way? The taxpayer gets hosed if the government bails out the banks directly. Or, the taxpayer gets hosed if banks fail and the FDIC, PBGC, or similar government guaranty group has to use taxpayer money to insure the deposits, pensions, and investments of individuals after a corporate failure.

The government should not have been mandating lending practices that extended too much credit to unworthy borrowers in the first place. We, the People, elected the clowns who mandated the destructive behavior. Therefore, it makes perfect sense that we, the People, pick up the tab in some form or fashion.
