Get over yourself people! Seriously, I am annoyed by the current tax structure. I came out with 21K in student loans for a 5 year architectural engineering degree. I make good money and am paying it back. Yes, I agree 30K for a art degree is stupid. An engineering degree that trains me to do something worthwhile is a good investment. However, I see the current tax structure, the greed of the corporate wealthy, and the disapearing of the middle class a bad thing. You people are just useful idiots that support this and join the group to rile up hating on the under privileged and struggling people of society. That is what Jesus would do, isn't it? Hypocritical idiots.

Kind of feels funny admitting they are your own, right?

The pictures came off the We Are the 99% website.

Two examples how stupidly dumb these filthy 99%'s are:

30K in student loans and $30K in credit card debt for a BA in Theatre?

This retard is lucky he landed a Starbucks job.


10 years in school going for a BA in Psychology and Sociology...And wait....It gets better....

...he's only a junior
It's too bad they can still reproduce.

These idiots will become lifetime leeches on the Nanny state.

Not a vague, blame the rich argument, but as an attempt to solve your problem, to what individual or individuals would you point and say they have failed in their responsibility to provide you a job?

How about the corporation that found out a way to layoff more people and still make the same amount of profits? To a certain extent you are right, the companies are not oblogated to give you a job, but morally they should be able to provide employment to the very communities that have supported them througout the years.

It would be really interesting to see the breakdown of people who are currently receiving unemployment benefits according to political party.

Probably no stats about that, though.

Both ACORN and SEIU have been reportedly linked to this via Days of Rage. Read the story. Appears the videos have been removed due to c/o of copywrite violation by an extreme left wing group.

Cain is pandering to what certain people want to believe. Ask him how he felt about his fellow man in the 1960's or did he just ignore the turmoil around him like he would as president.
