Infrastructure? Are you kidding? I think you need to take a look at the "poor me" signs that infest this protest.

"And so this is why I don't understand these demonstrations and what is it that they're looking for."

From what I've read, it doesn't sound like this guy understands much at all.

Not so in Boston and I bet lots of other cities. There have been HUGE crowds of thousands of people protesting since 9/28 in Boston for example. Just go to YouTube and check it out. Many of them are being held at Federal Reserve buildings like they should be.

The one guy said he is worth more then 7.00 per hour.

When asked what skills do you have to be make that statement?

He said that a company OWES him a decent living.

Nuff said.


Sorry bud, no one owes you a damn thing.

Work two 7.00 per hour jobs for 16 hours per day and you can make enough to live on.

Why did you not ever gain a skill or learn a trade?

I know, someone kept you from learning a skill right?

Coulter has never nailed anything but her admirers.
Maybe someone would nail Coulter, if they could figure out which gender she really is. Coulter is nothing but a glorified shock jock in a black cocktail dress.

Jesse Watters (on the O'Reilly Factor) mentioned that one of the protestors he'd interviewed had "quit his job so he could come to the protest". Seriously, most of those protestors act like they've seen the "Woodstock" movie a few too many times.

He says he's worth more than $7 an hour, you say he isn't. Both of you have to prove your words are more than just sh1t.
