He's not a drain on society, he's a drain on everyone else who lives in the house. Perfect conservative free market solution! He takes it out on the rest of us and spares the taxpayer.
I moved in because the last room I rented was in a house that got foreclosed and this was the only place I could afford to move into. (Plus he was a happy drunk then, until a woman moved in with him and they drank and fought all day.) Now I stay here because I don't have enough money to move into a different place. Moving is expensive when you need first month rent, last month rent, app fees, deposits, yada yada yada.
Ahh. So you do understand a lot of what these cons don't.
noun /kəmˈpaSHən/
compassions, plural
Sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others
No where does it require $$ to be compassionate for someones situation. And no, I don't expect my compassion to cure his cancer either.
Believe it or not, I do have compassion for many of the OWS rebels. But I refuse to subsidize bad life decisions, which is largely what got most of these people in a jam in the first place.
I've thought long and hard about it and I really don't see the connection between middle class woes and Wall Street. Making matters worse, I have yet to hear a cogent explanation of the perceived connection. All I hear are "Wall Street Sucks!" ..."Big Banks Suck!"....but nothing tells me why they suck.
Can anyone explain this to me in a way that doesn't make you seem like you're just riding a bandwagon? I mean, if there's a true connection, shouldn't you be able to explain it to me pretty easily? OWS has to be based on something....what is it?
Through the Community Reinvestment Act pushed on the banks to give loans to those who were not qualified to purchase a house.. and the houses were grossly overpriced to boot. Trouble right there.
Not yet. The reason is this is not a single group with a single goal, I have heard different people from the protest interviewed and some I agree with and some I do not. Thing is, they are making the silent, and mostlty oblivious, Majority aware that there are issues and in my book that is a Good Thing.
I support protests but what these people are protesting is about paying their bills... so I don't support them.... they seem childish... I thought it was about accountability but then you see their demands to not pay their bills... yeah... right...

Yeah, that makes sense. Which seems to point right to back to bad life decisions. If you can't afford it, you shouldn't buy it. Pretty simple philosophy, for sure, but apparently many American's aren't able to abide by it. Who makes you buy a house? No one.
No sympathy for those who find themselves in this position.
This guy has a degree in Physics, which is marketable, and he's barely getting by.
If he's missing teeth, then that's why he doesn't have a job that helps him more than "get by." In a professional environment, having all your teeth is mandatory.
That's the cold, hard truth.
