That link by Goldberg is outstanding and has just too much truth in it for very many left leaners to see for what it is.

These kids are the very type of useful idiots the Communist party used on our campuses in the 20s and 30s and then the late 60s and 70s. The fact that they want to have all their debts wiped off the books tells me that they don't really understand what is involved when they borrow money.

Default I Am The 5%

The government agreed to pay for my college because I helped them kill some arabs.

I did my research and picked a degree that would command a wage after I graduated.

I didn't get a lot of credit card debt because I read the part on the back of the form that said I would have to pay it all back.

I hate the injustice of having no bowl system in college football.

I am the 5%

I wonder how many Tea Partiers would have allowed that old socialist to even open her mouth at one of their rallies. I believe she may have been able to arouse some violence at those things talking as she does. She was very popular at the rally where most of the people came from the classes of all those radical professors but I don't think they would have done very well at a Tea Party rally.

Do these two things sound a bit like maybe the far left and the Muslim Brotherhood are working together to destroy our government?

Like it or not if you are not part of 1% you are the 99%. We are in this together. My guess is that everyone who is posting on this board is part of the 99%.
The protesters do not represent me and I am certainly not in the 1%.
Your guess is wrong

How did the Occupy people manage to come up with their newspaper that prints in 4 colors, so soon? All those kids seem to be jobless and in debt up to the tops of their heads but they got the paper printed? I would say that George Soros was in there somewhere either from The Tides Foundation or Move.on.

They don't pay dividents because they don't have to. There is no other reason. If you are trying to suggest they would pay dividents if it wasn't for liberal policies, then I'd ask you why other companies do pay dividents although they operate under the same laws?

The truth (which evades you) is the fact that it has NOTHING to do with liberal OR conservative policies. Apple has so much cash that they don't need investors money. Get it?

Are you talking about the same Clinton who worked with the Republican controlled Congress? Are you kidding me? Clinton invented regulations? Really?

Protesting capitalism, by texting on their iPhones and Blackberries, while sipping Starbucks coffee.
