People can vote with their feet and leave when a city or state makes the cost of living too expensive. Frankly, they should do whatever it takes to earn a living support themselves (legally).
No they want what they demand and they want it now. Who cares about having to pay $25 for a meatball sub... These folks will never move to China.
twist, turn and run because they don't really want jobs. Here is a beautiful example of how hard they work to keep from having to work. I guess all they want is to protest and make noise.
How Did Occupy D.C. Protesters Respond to a Table Full of Job Applications? | CowboyByte (http://cowboybyte.com/1668/how-did-occupy-d-c-protesters-respond-to-a-table-full-of-job-applications/ - broken link)
What a bunch of free loaders.
You know what, if the first job doesn't pay enough to pay the bills or get ahead, find a second one, or a third.
Friggin lazy good for nothings - make some choices in your lifestyle that will allow you to pay your bills. Can't afford cable? A cell phone? A new car? New shoes or a purse - too friggin bad.
If I had no means to provide for myself other than living off the public dole I would. However, I am self employed and take no "entitlements" from any taxpayer. Rather, I am a taxpayer and part of the 53%.
In other words, you would also turn down the same jobs that you accused other people of not taking.
Have you not noticed that over 70% of those polled too many times have talked about this country going the wrong direction? If you have seen that you have to know that you are standing up for the direction Obama was talking about when he talked about heading a different direction. You want to go the direction he says and the rest of us think that is the wrong one. Since you don't want to work to support yourself but want us going the direction of socialist Europe I have to think you are wrong.
You infer an awful lot. I agree the country is going in the wrong direction, but I have not seen one fact that suggests we are becoming socialist nor one that links that conversion with Obama. That kind of thinking is fear-based nonsense. If we were going socialist under Obama, the government would be taking over businesses left and right and we the people would be the proud owners of such things. That hasn't happened.
Those who dislike Obama are hiding their racism and their distaste for anything Democrat by applying "Socialism" to whatever he does, proving they know nothing of the concept. Obama haters are pouring all their rage onto him because he's the President they didn't want. It's easier to blame him than to examine how much of the current crap also happened in the previous eight years. They are black and white thinkers who are a detriment to improving this country.
You also aren't paying attention. I don't support Obama and I dislike him even more now than at the time of the election. He is too much like Bush. But I agree wholeheartedly with the OWS movement because they are targeting the right people: the corporations, the banks, the elites. Your side blames the government. Well, I am the government and so are you. Right now it's controlled by the people the OWS is opposing, but your side just doesn't want to admit that.

Are these part of the millions of Americans who voted for him and will not support him any longer?
Are these part of the people that gave him a 70% approval rating to start out?
The people who gave him a chance with his ideas and policies, only to have him shove the most unpopular bill down their throats AND have his policies fail?
Right now in western North Dakota there's a massive boom going on in the oilfields out there. At this time there are over 10,000 positions open, averaging $70K per year. In many of these positions, no experience is required and relocation, per diem, and housing is included. If the losers in these occupy movements you support really wanted high paying jobs, they'd be heading to North Dakota in droves.
-By the way...Even McDonalds is paying $15/hr out there due to a massive lack of workers in the area.

Why aren't the positions filled if they're so desirable? I would think the reason is that not everyone works for money. There are many other intangibles like housing (not much out there), weather (please, western North Dakota?!), and the fact that the work is very dirty, dangerous, and primarily outside. How much environmental damage is being done would be a question I would ask. And does one's refusal of such work mean that a person is a loser if they choose to protest instead? I think not. I'm unemployed but there's no way I'd accept the job you describe. This reminds me of Las Vegas (and Phoenix to a far lesser degree) where every desperate person in the country in the 1990s moved to to find work, turning them both into 'paradises' of despair.
Nice try but you can't find many polls that show the people polled agree with you and other distribute the wealth people. Around 70% think as we do and that puts you and Obama in a minority.
Please keep trying to explain those OWS movements to me. So far I haven't seen much of anything but feeling sorry for those useful idiots among the groups. Hell, even in Seattle and Oakland where the union thugs got ahead of time too many of the useful idiots are trying to convince us that they didn't believe force would ever happen. How else do they get us to the place where our Glorious Leader has to declare martial law to control them.
