Let me see....I have a wonderful, beautiful, successful family, I have a great career, I have nearly zero debt, I have a positive net worth, I pay my bills, I enjoy good food and travel, I control my own destiny (mostly with God's help), and I'm being used?

I'm a pawn?

What's sad is seeing a bunch of whiny losers complaining that nobody will help them out of conditions which they, themselves have gotten themselves into.

I am the 1%.

The initial protesters were just young people who were used by the liberal groups and now the unions and liberal groups are joining.


The same way they got Egypt stirred up.

And it doesn't bother me now because that Wall St cash doesn't seem to have bought them the influence with Obama that they seemd to think it would.
Has the justice department brought any charges against them as I believe the protestors think should be done.

MAybe President Obama like many politicians will pander to a group if it is thought there are enough voters. Was he in support before the unions got involved?

But they're not demanding jobs they're demanding free stuff. They're parasites. It's a parasite parade.

This is correct and by the same people. I always wondered if someone would ask how dirt poor Egyptians got smart phones with service when it was reported that they only made a few bucks a day.

Half of them don't even know why they're out there. Free pot and an excuse not to shower attracted them I suppose.

I wonder if you have seen the video of that kid tearing into that old Jew with the white hair and white skull cap (whatever they call those)? If not you probably haven't paid any attention to the fact that many of those kids refuse to work for the wages they can get. As long as there is a chance they can get handouts from the government they will continue to act like that.

Why would the Holder DOJ bite the hand that feeds the Obama administration? His cabinet is full of Goldman Sachs & JP Morgan folks.

Seriously, wake up already.
