You know how I know you’re retarded? Because you write crap like this:

“[Those born into the 1%] can pay for an amazing education and their parents can use their connections or power (for money is power)to get them high-paying positions in companies.”

First off, the main difference between a college that gives you “an amazing education” and one that doesn’t is that the good one expects you to work your butt off rather than automatically giving you the diploma at the end of the curse like liberals want all colleges to be. If you’re the kind of person who spends 60 hours a week playing video games, or dating or surfing the internet, you’ll get your butt kicked out of the good college in about a week no matter how much money your parents have. That’s the whole point of a good college: that only those who know what the f**k they’re doing get to graduate from it. And no, good colleges don’t have magical machines that give people knowledge with the touch of a button. You have to work for it, and they make sure you’re prepared for the real world by making you work harder than the crappy colleges do. Nothing is simply given to them just because they have money.

And having connections might get you the job, but you still need to actually do a good job in order to keep it. Mom and Pop stores might put up with giving their stupid child a job for life, but no decent company will do the same. No matter who your parents are and how much money they make, the market won’t put up with your stupidity for too long.

Idiot children of rich people don’t get good jobs, they get a trust fund and/or a reality show.

And having so many of the 99% thinking that the only way to have a good education or a good job is to be rich to begin with, without having to put any actual effort into it, is a good evidence of why they don’t have a whelk’s chance in a supernova to become rich.

What a fucking idiot. Well at least this dumfuk was smart enough not to get his/her stupid ass/face in the photo so we can all point and laugh and say “you still don’t get it even though you are about to graduate from your apparently shitty school” as he/she walks down the street .
Guess what asshole I dont have any debt and i live well within my means AND I AM NOT OK WITH THE GOVERNMENT GIVING HANDOUTS AND PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT TO BIG BANKS AND SCUMBAG CORPORATIONS AND HANDING THE BILL TO THE TAXPAYER.

Very dumb post. I like the thing on the left, but the right is complete crap. I am not a billionaire, and will not blame a billionaire for my problems. That is mostly what this is all about. A bunch of stupid hippies blaming rich people that they have nothing. It is because they don’t do anything and they just protest. The rich worked hard, went to college, went out and got jobs and applied themselves. They didn’t let other people pay for them (tax payers). Occupy groups, how about occupy a job. Occupy a taco bell cashier. Occupy something besides pointless crap.

  As another example, lets use Enron.
  
  Think that the people that lost every penny of their retirement funds don’t blame some billionaires?

    Kim earned her money because of the stupid idiots of the country paying attention to her, and her family is very wealth, because of working hard (aka lawyer). Money can be earned through inheritance or hard work. Poor people can’t blame rich people. They can, but it proves their stupidity and poorness.

It’s amazing that there are people who actually think there’s nothing wrong with the shit banks and corporations have been pulling in this country. You even defend them and the billionaires who run them. Yeah, it was really innovative when they sold a bullshit bill of goods to the world and caused the global economy to collapse. No doubt they earned all those billions in corporate welfare they pried out of the American people to to cover their crooked dealings. Real fine examples of innovation in their 30 year quest to lop the head off of a government and government oversight, so that they might establish themselves as the plutocratic dictators to the world.

The real problem is people who would rather ally themselves with that wicked, parasitic system, rather than work to establish a level playing field where everyone has a chance, which is how your precious capitalism is supposed to work. The problem is people who are perfectly fine with fucking over everyone else, as long as they get theirs. The problem is people who witness their fellow man locked out and disenfranchised by a broken & corrupt system, and do nothing but shove those peoples’ faces in the dirt and dismiss them as weak and whining.

Too many sociopaths, not enough humanitarians.

I think the person who wrote the note is referring to the OWS folks who are now demanding that all student loans be forgiven. I’m a poor guy myself and I agree with the OWS movement very strongly, but I DON’T agree that student loans should be forgiven. I, too, busted my ass to pay my way through college and live within my means. There are lots of people who racked up huge college loans and now don’t want to pay for it. That’s bullshit.

  What is OWS pissed about?
  
  A study by the University of Massachusetts showed that big corporations are sitting on a stockpile of $3.6 trillion, and if they would invest it in the US economy they would generate 19 million jobs and cut the unemployment rate to 5% –
  
  Of course, that would also mean that Obama would likely get re-elected and they wouldn’t get their fat tax cuts and repeal of environmental and employee safety laws, so they’re not likely to do it.
  
  Face it guys, the economy was fixed in 2010 – the recession is a fake. It’s just corporations refusing to hire because if they keep us scared they can make those of us WITH jobs to work 70 hour weeks for 35 hour pay. Tale a look at corporate profits – they’re not in a recession, corporations are making huge bucks – it’s just the middle class that’s sucking wind. “Recession” is just a way for the billionaires to say “fuck you, we want ALL the money”

There is no finite amount of wealth. Because one person has more than someone else…does not mean that they took some of “what’s yours”. Believing this absurdity is the REAL problem. Should be forgive the big banks and those that bet against the rest of us? NO. And let’s be clear…Democrats and Republicans that were aware of what Freddie and Fannie were doing and how it was about to create a disaster….shorted the market. So don’t just blame the banks. Our own politicians were betting against the economy…while telling all of us that the economy was just fine. They are all scumbags.

But still…the OWS movement is a complete failure in math and interest. If I start out with 2 dollars and you start out with one. And all we do is put it in a low growth savings account. In 30 years I will have twice as much as you. It’s that simple. But even better. Let’s do more numbers. If you start out with 100,000. And I start out with 1,000,000 bucks. At the end of that 30 years you will have 500K but I will have nearly 5 million. So we started 900k apart … we finished nearly 4.5 million apart. That is just the reality of compounding interest. But just because I have more doesn’t mean I “took” it from you.

Wealth is created by our very existence. The problem I have with a lot of people on this argument is that so many want to ignore this fact. They want to decry the “wealth gap”. Who cares? Why is that even remotely important. If you go out and work … you earn wealth. Sometimes innovation leads to brilliant leaps in the economy. If you don’t believe this argument then you completely ignore things like the industrial revolution, the dot com boom and birth of the internet…companies like apple who’ve magically drummed out of thin air a billion dollar App industry. The list goes on and on.

So if we are all pissed off and are decrying a wealth gap and we need to redistribute it and tax the rich more and more…are you all idiots? “They don’t pay their fair share!” Really? They pay millions in taxes and 49%of Americans pay 0. It’s fair as long as I can reach into someone else’s pocket but I contribute nothing? How screwed up is that thinking.

We need a certain amount of regulation to keep things stable. But. But if you go down the road of demanding that we even the playing field because this wealth gap is intolerable….here’s what will happen:

The gap will start all over again tomorrow. Why? Because some people will wake up the next day and run out the door and others will lie back and sleep in. It’s human nature. Some people work hard and make more money. Get over it and put your hand f**king back down you greedy mooching piece of shit.

Among several fundamental things the OWS snoflakes failed to understand is that the recession was brought about by the government. If Fannie and Freddie did not engage in “creative” tampering with credit scores to allow “the poor” to get mortgages they could not possible afford – and continued to do so well beyond the point that it was obviously going to fail, and fail catastrophically, then there simply would not have been a problem. All “Wall Street” (who, by the way, are CURRENTLY all major Obama contributors) did was to invest in the same illegal policies as their liberal Democrat legislators did.

Yeah…blame “Wall Street” (whoever the hell they are). Don’t DARE blame Barney Franks and Chris Dodd and the rest of the criminals who ACTUALLY made it happen.

Idiots. It’s no surprise that the whole OWS fizzled as soon as the corporate support got cold feet and the weather got inconvenient. Idiots and losers. Next time take a HISTORY or an ECONOMICS course instead of LEISURE STUDIES or STAR TREK!!!

  Why do you think government allowed Fannie and Freddie to do that tampering? Why did government declaw the SEC? Why were most governmental oversights regulating this area of finance either eliminated or watered down to the point of complete ineffectiveness? Because the corporate finance donators to key government officials encouraged and demanded it. It’s not like some senator decided to take out all that regulation just for laughs. Irresponsible assholes in financial institutions realized that if they could take out a few pesky regulations, they could make a bundle of cash duping people into high interest loans. It’s the same shit that went on before the Great Depression. And it’s produced the same devastating effects.

So, it seems like almost everyone agrees that the Government is largely responsible or at least partially responsible for the shitty condition of the economy. It also seems like everyone agrees that the government should not give billions of dollars to companies and leave the taxpayers, their children and grandchildren with the bill. Yet, the only solution is to give more and more money and power to the same government that screwed-up everything in the first place.
