[quote=Sco;21677959]Like I said large numbers of Tea Partiers have no principles. As long as they keep getting their handout from the government they don't really care what happens to anyone else.[/quote







Another leftie waiting for a handout. The people you are talking about paid into the system all of their lives. Most of them would have chosen to invest that money themselves, but weren't given that opportunity. They are getting what they deserve. They worked all of their lives, just like you cry baby lefties need to do, Get the hell out there and earn your money and stop crying.

Why not, They were told it would be there for them at the time it was stolen from them. If I took 7% of your income the entire time you worked telling you it would be there for you later, would you not be pissed if when later came I said " just kidding" ?

Clearly, the tea party are the winged monkeys of the axis of evil. Dept of homeland terrorism ought to investigate their diabolical unamerican activities.
Nice language, "lady".

Most of the OWS are just bored college kids complaining about the loans they made for their tuition because they never wanted to work. Many are not "unemployed" because they have never held a job, will not enter the labor force until they've laid around getting graduate degrees so they can start with jobs that pay them over $100,000 a year.

Will they have a job waiting for them or get passing grades when they return?
No to the job but yes to the college degree. Many of the colleges are so liberal and have been so dumbed down, that they will give credit for spending all your time in protests.

Likely many of their professors are out there protesting with them but they will still have a job even though they haven't shown up in a classroom for months. These aren't exactly the engineering degree kinds.
