I support certain aspects of those protesting against corruption but I cringe when I see socialist fringes with signs demanding socialism.
I actually sympathized with them to a degree ... until they invited the labor union thugs and the Marxist agitators.

I have seen some of the Occupy the "***" protesters and I wouldn't want to hire them even if there were no workers available.

He's a good boy. He'll do as he's told by his masters.
So...you're ok with "peaceful" protesters destroying private property and leaving behind their waste?

Oh.....just in case you forgot - there is NO BIGGER corporate bootlicker than obama, who got more money from WS in 2008 than any other candidate.

But.....that didn't seem to bother you then.

They are incapable of functioning at the level required to succeed in today's economy. They will never rise to the top, nor even the middle, no matter what the economy or stock market is doing. When the bottom falls out, they're the first to drop. Wall Streeet doesn't care, nor does Congress, nor large corporations. Call it socialism if you want, but I believe in helping the most vulnerable. Cain chooses not to acknowledge that the people at the bottom have no choice.
I agree. The funny notion that everyone can make it if they only tried, is totally unrealistic, especially nowadays. But it is a very stubborn notion, not least because it serves as a justification for trying to get rid of welfare programs.

Cantor's correct. The left is behaving stupidly as their boy once so infamously said about a police department. The left will get what's coming to them as they try to fan the flames of a new civil war encouraged by that disgusting POS in the White House, a community organizer who has disgraced the office of the presidency and America.
