No, I'm saying there is a lot more to the situation than simply seeing people rally together.
How are things not equal? How did these guys who are the CEO's of these companies come up? Did they just magically appear in these positions? Or did they bust their ass to get there? How did Herman Cain (despite all these accusations) come up from living in a project and is now the front runner in a presidential election. EVERYONE has the same god damn opportunity, It all depends on how YOU play your cards. I'm sick of hearing "its not fair, its not fair" like a bunch of whiny 5 year old kids who can't buy the snickers bar a the grocery store. Quit fucking bitching and go try and find a fucking job instead of asking the government to hand them out to you. Go move to North Dakota if you want, Mcdonalds is paying 15 bucks an hour to flip burgers. Or go learn a trade and join a union and make 20 bucks an hour. Jesus Christ there ARE jobs out there. The 3 people I know that currently protest here in Chicago were the kids in High School who skipped 1st period and came in 20min late to 2nd period because they were sleeping in, atleast 3 times a week.
You said all you did for work was grow and sell you have NO credibility what so ever lmao
Quite often, the "rules" are the problem imo.
So a person born into a household with a single mother and 2 or 3 other siblings has the same opportunities that a kid born into a steady household with 2 working loving parents has? Orphans? Parents in prison? Parents with drug addictions? Abuse, neglect? Psychological or emotional disorders?
how is that not honest work?
You don't pay taxes, you provide NOTHING to this economy. You think you are doing something productive with your life? You think growing a few plants in your garage is hard and honest work? Again, you prove yourself incredible time and time again in your posts.
Yes, certain people have hurtles to jump over that some others don't. That doesn't mean they can't achieve the same thing in life. There isn't some brick wall preventing them from getting it done. Again, its how YOU play your cards. And the people that don't play their cards right bitch and complain instead of trying again. They are quitters. Quitters never win.
i've paid plenty of taxes this year. paid into SS, paid into medicare/medicaid, sales taxes, gasoline taxes, property taxes (indirectly) and many more.
so all the goods and services i purchase do nothing for the economy?
i know i am doing something productive, as by definition, i PRODUCE stuff. i even employ people several times a year and pay them better than what they get paid at their normal jobs. $20 an hour to help trim, $80 a day to house sit even though it only takes an hour or two to tae care of the daily chores.
and you prove to be a know-nothing blowhard.
and how many people does it effect when just one person does something completely outside the bounds of human decency, driven by greed and avarice?
perhaps you should work on grounding yourself in reality, as it is apparent to me that you are nowhere near it right now.
They are getting rich not becuase of a broken system
Tell me how the Koch brothers got to where they are by working harder than everyone else. I guess being born into billions of dollars is hard work eh?
Then how do you explain the decrease in economic mobility over the last 30 years? How about the increase in income of nearly 300% for the top 1% while everyone else's wages stayed stagnate. When Reagan got elected president did 99% of Americans suddenly become dumb and lazy. Did the 1% all of a sudden get smarter and start working harder? Or did the system get rigged so the rich stays rich?
I guess I have no credibility what so ever either then.
we are just leeches, bums, nuisances.
Yeah. We should do some real work, like buying up a company, firing everyone, and extracting billions of dollars from the company at the expense of working Americans. You know, be a job creator.
or we could buy up nearly all the market of a certain commodity, convince the people who produce the commodity to purchase them back by threatening to flood the market with said commodity, buy short positions on said commodity, and make tons of money on our short positions before then flooding the market and putting the producers of said commodity out of business.
Sounds like the job creators are working hard there.
and our little friend who says we have no credibility because we produce stuff is happy to defend those hard working job creators and their actions.
Even if someone doesn't pay income tax, there are always sales taxes.
