You heard me.

What does this uneducated, self indulgent, bigoted, beautiful group of wonderful charming people think about the thing?

also,
"We have enormous freedom. That's not a gift that was given to us, it's a legacy that was left to us by centuries of struggle. By centuries of people that most of whose names are completely forgotten, the ones who created the freedom and the rights we now have, and that will be taken away unless you constantly defend them." - Noam Chomsky

and
"Capital as such is not evil; it is its wrong use that is evil. Capital in some form or other will always be needed."- Mohandas Gandhi

stold from my facebook . . .

OCCUPY THIS! I am the 99% - stop thinking you represent me! I graduated law school with 130k in debt. I will continue to pay it off for another 10 years, I work hard, I pay my bills, I pay more in taxes than the "average american" makes in a year. I have never been on unemployment, I pay for my own healthcare, and I have never gotten a bailout. When I couldn't find the job I "wanted" I took a... job paying $10.00 instead of looking for a handout. STOP BITCHING. Work hard, accept that you may not get everything handed to you on a silver platter. Don't buy things you can't afford (house, car, or meaningless shit) and don't sign your name without reading and understanding what you are signing. STOP BLAMING OTHERS, stop feeling entitled.

Fair.
Definitely can relate to most of what you just said.
Not that there aren't major problems with our financial system and the lack of accountability on the part of the banks that knowingly created the housing bubble and got bailed out after the fact.

i'm sure you could tell us a thing or two about how fucked our healthcare system is too...

as much as it's about 'handouts' it's probably as much about everything else you can imagine a dirty hippy would be pissed off at nowadays.

and barring dirty hippies, any human being worried about the welfare of the human race and the planet that houses us.

There are major problems with our financial system and with our political system. Agreed. The one thing I hope can come from this is a recognition that if yo uwant change you have to exercise the voice you have - VOTE and don't support companies who's practices and policies you don't agree with. There are far too many options in our economy to just mindlessly use your spending power to support a machine you don't agree with.

As for the housing bubble . . . there were MANY CAUSES . . . not the least of which is every single fuckin' idiot that signed a mortgage that they didn't understand or couldn't afford . .. oh and the U.S. Government that encourgaed, in fact demanded that the Banks relax their lending policies. And yes, I am pissed, I bought a house that I can afford but thanks to the fucks that couldn't and the resultant foreclosures and devestation to the market, my house isn't worth shit!

I will get off my soapbox now . . . sorry for the rant . . . wait this is b.com . .. FUCK YOU ALL
