No one usually chooses to be addict, it takes over. In many cases a person was once responsible with a future but addiction took it away and they now live a life of addiction. Talk to somebody who is addicted and many times you will hear from them "I once had_____, but now..."

Oh please.

And let's talk about the 40-some percent who don't pay taxes at all, shall we?

Yes, those stories are all sad, but as Herman Cain and many on this forum tell us, it's ALL THEIR FAULT.

now this girl has a head on her. Notice how she isn't whining about what the government is doing or isn't doing and puts focus on society as the problem.


"
I am another disillusioned post-graduate with nothing to show for myself or my family.
I turn on the tv and ask questions.
Why are pro-athletes making millions for playing a sport our songs can’t play because his family can’t afford a glove?
Why am I singing about money and love when my parents can’t afford a divorce?
Why do I watch Jersey Shore starlets spend thousands on alcohol and luxuries when I can’t afford to eat?
Why do I read about what celebrities wore to the Grammy’s when I can’t afford to clothe myself?
Why do I let myself become hypnotized by an entertainment industry that flaunts its wealth to a population it doesn’t represent?
I am the 99% And I condone the behavior of the 1% I’m sorry.
"

Yet left wing loons have gtried to hit her in the face with pies....unplugged the PA system when she was speaking....and this is all you have to say?

Let me kindly suggest to you that by closing yourself off to opposing points of view makes you ignorant. You don't have to agree with her, but she is speaking for a large segment of the population. If you want to make believe that she doesn't exist, then go ahead....but in order for you to catch which way the wind is blowing in your own country, you really should at least listen to all points of view.
