The wall streeters are protesting at the wrong address. They should be in front of congress and the White House. They're the ones handing the banks all these piles of money. It will be interesting to see what happens with BOA. It appears they have been singled out as the "fall guy" in all these fee raising stories I'm reading. Under the bus they go to show us all how Obama deals with evil bankers I'm sure coming soon. After 18 holes of course!

Coulter? Oh please, this is why some on the right are so utterly confused when it comes to reality. Stop listening to the snake oil salesmen and women, your mind will thank you later.

They are asking for abolishment of loan amounts so maybe you better team up with them. If they could get all the debt they want abolished there would be no debt left. Of course, there would be nobody left to loan but they are sure that taxing hell out of the rich can keep them going.

No. Because he is not talking about:

** how he ran up student loan debt for a degree that is not job marketable.
** how he bought a house that he couldn't afford taking out a loan he couldn't afford.
** how he had 4 kids before the age of 25

Instead he has shown:
** how instead of whining about not having a job, he actually has done well to get/keep a well paying job
** he has kept in good health


So I have to validate the whining of people who are disappointed that things aren't going in THEIR favor? Give me a break.

Cain Tells Occupy Wall Street Protesters to 'Blame Yourself' - ABC News

SO True!!!!!!
This guy is Obama's worst nightmare. If Cain wins the nomination, Obama will probably drop Biden For Hillary for VP...

Meanwhile, this "movement" is looking more and more like a left wing political movement (The Anti Tea Party).

Not only Are A Few Unions Joining this movement in full force.
So is MoveOn.org

MoveOn.org among those joining Occupy Wall St.

[/LEFT]

and George Soros.

George Soros Says He Sympathizes With Occupy Wall Street Protesters


Now there's a pair I can do without.

But I'd like to know what's the solution for someone who's unemployed and can't afford training?

I am debt free and have socked away $125K into personal savings in the first 9 months of this year.

It's amazing what a good education, a good choice of major, an entreprenurial spirit, a solid work ethic, and an "its up to me to be successful" philosophy does for a person!

The granola crusties rebelling on Wall Street should take a page from my book.

Read the link and then come back and attack the message. You only attack the messenger and hold out your ignorance of the link so how do you expect anyone to think you are so right? It won't take a lot of your time but then . . . . . . .

^^ An example of part of the 99% that isn't lazy or deadbeats. Good job man!

This group should call themselves the "50% that pay no taxes and whine a lot"
