Dumbass 99%ers don't even know who is screwing them over - a bunch of fat cat globalists and government a-holes who are in the pockets of industry/banks. And the number one person 'screwing over' the 99%ers are the 99%ers themselves...by trying to destroy what makes it feasible to make it big in this country, they bitterly screw themselves out of their own dream.
Making 'whine' out of your sour grapes.
Are fat cat globalists and most govt. Aholes not in the top 1%? Certainly not everyone in the 1% are the problem, but the ones that are the problem are in the 1%. You see the difference don't you.[/quote]
exactly.
debating about issues and the 1% who haveraped and pillaged the US is not "whining". i am sick of the fiction the far right uses to promote corrupt CEO's and corporate fascism.
Ali Velshi on CNN whining that he didnt get to go to Davos, Switzerland for the financial summit last year, now THATS whining, what a first rate idiot.
I don't see the 1%'ers dividing anything other than revenue among their employees and investors. And I don't see them camping out, crapping in the streets. And plenty of them have children who are NOT strapped with college tuition loans.
I do see some portion of the acclaimed 99% drawing divisions among the public, expecting some reward for being manipulative... and crapping in the streets.
People should not fall for the 1%ers generational warfare strategy. They have the majority of the pie and have begun to pit the senior citizens receiving ss and medicare against younger middle class and unemployed workers to fight out who gets the scraps.
Major news outlets like The Washington Post and National Public Radio constantly bombard us with news pieces on the budget deficit. Invariably these stories focus on the cost of "entitlements," which most of us know as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. The story pounded home in these pieces - often explicitly - is that these programs, that primarily benefit the elderly, are creating the basis for a generational war between the young and the old.
I don't really agree with the opening paragraph, or the rest of the article which was built upon it.
Entitlements are one piece of the puzzle, but the real issue is economic policy. Our economic policy right now is can be boiled down to one statement: keep the housing and stock markets inflated in price so older people can retire.
This policy does nothing at all to create jobs, or solve problems faced by people who are young. Older people benefit from strong corporate earnings, high P/E ratios and high housing rent, not young people.
Where the plot really thickens, is that the economic interests of older, middle class people are closely intertwined with the interests of billionaires. Both groups live and die by the inflationary, risk-chasing trade that collapsed in 2008.
You hit the nail on the head!
Some people don't see the "created divide" that we have in this county.
yes and MSM media keeps perpetuating it. . So sick of celebrity trash on tv...and class warfare, all it is is pablum to manipulate the masses. "Info-tainment", no real facts on economy and how America is circling the drain.
