But I know I'm gonna change that tune,
When I'm back on top, back on top in June.

I said that's life, and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks,
Stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down,
'Cause this fine ol' world it keeps spinning around

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king.
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing:
Each time I find myself, flat on my face,
I pick myself up and get back in the race.

That's life
I tell ya, I can't deny it,
I thought of quitting baby,
But my heart just ain't gonna buy it.
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try,
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king.
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing:
Each time I find myself laying flat on my face,
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life
That's life and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cutting out
But my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothing shakin' come this here july
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
My, My "

The 99%'s should try living by this.

I am the 1%.

Dear Nice;

Just reading your post without further scrutiny, it looks to me that you certainly believe yourself to be in an upper echelon entitled to make pronouncements upon others. I wonder if by your very pronouncements if perhaps you are inadvertently agreeing that they actually are in the other 99%?

Quite possibly, if you were to consider their message content, you would see that what they are saying is they -- with all their foibles, are people too, and have a right to conduct their lives by their own choosing, regardless of your sanctions for or against them. Perhaps, they want to be recognized as people, just like you?

Never ... why would normal citizens who love and support their country join up with communist/socialist trying to take over the country?

I support their right to protest, but not the cause.

Right, it's an astroturf organization because some guy said some weren't....even though he doesn't know who paid them, who they were, or how much money they were getting. Well, how does he know at all?

Is this the kind of "facts" you use to make decisions in real life? If so I have some swamp land in New Jersey to sell you.

Compared to the tea party, which certainly isn't, even though you have accounting documents tracing the money and video of the astroturfers speaking at the organizations.

They certainly won't, the protesters are railing against the Tea Party's funding source.

Given the the Republican Party stopped the strongest element of finance reform and the whining tea baggers did nothing then I'd say they won't join.

They whine about things like government bailouts, yet those they support wouldn't really let financial laws have teeth.

No one likes for Big Business to be bailed out, including me, but lets face it. A large portion of the folks rallying at Wall Street have made bad financial decisions as well, and now their blaming it on Wall Street?

This stuff just doesn't pass the laugh test. You bought a house you couldn't afford. You took out student loans you couldn't repay. You chose to have a child when you could least afford it. NO ONE is entitled to anything in America except Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. That does NOT guarantee that you will succeed.

I support their right to protest, but I WILL NOT subsidize their bad life decisions.

Where's your data to back this up? What bad personal life decisions have they made? What bailout are they looking for?

For someone who whines about lazy ass losers, you sure don't back up much of what you say.
