Bankers taunt OWS

[Lonestar_logic]

Means one thing...the OWS got their attention.

Don't they get it The upper 1% in this country have quadrupled their wealth in the last 15 years while average salaries have stagnated when adjusted for inflation. Add to that the government handing the banks a trillion dollars of taxpayer's money with no strings attached and not a banker missed a bonus. Add to that the 20,000,000 when those who are no longer looking are added to the unemployed. Add to that the 50,000,000 Americans with no health insurance. Add to that the fact that corporations own our politicians lock, stock and barrel through campaign contributions and high paid lobbyists.

This is phase one of a move which will ultimately have a permanant effect on politicians and tax structure in this country. Why do you think the approval rate of the congress is in single digits

If I was 15 years younger I would pack up my camping gear and join them. I retired 17 years ago and would have been able then. I remember my army days and I would have just imagined I was bivouacked.

Or maybe these bankers were actually going to a J.O.B. and just now had time to tell them to do the same.

Why do you hate rich people?

 

[Truthmatters]

we dont hate rich people.

We hate the rich people who boguht and paid for the lack of legislation that caused this mess so they could get richer.

The real question is WHY DO YOU LOVE BEING OWNED BY THEM?

Yes, lets blame the poor for their own condition.

Stupid poor, always being poor. What assholes.

They deserve to be poor. That's why they were born poor.

All hail our new caste system.

15 years ago I was too busy working 3 jobs to whine about not getting government handouts.

Those guys in the suits got it right. These bums should get a fucking job.

15 years ago there were jobs, lots of jobs. Now, there are around 16 million that are unemployed and about 3.5 available million jobs.

Times have changed and banks aren't going nuts giving loans to small businesses.
Also, how many 100's of millions of dollars have banks paid out in fines for fraud and predatory loan practices in the last couple of years? And people are cheering for banks?

Banks caused the Great Depression. People forget that.

Let me introduce you to the US of A, the greatest nation on the face of the Earth where any person who wants to can improve their condition very easily. It starts with free public schools and minimum wage jobs where you can build a work ethic and job skills. It continues with trade schools or community colleges which are far less costly than the universities. There is assistance for those with low incomes. All one need do is study hard, work hard, keep their nose clean and make good choices. Do that, and you are on your way to having a much better condition.

Replying to underlined and highlighted bold...

No strings? Interest and penalties are no strings?

Banks returned the money, with interest. Can you explain where is that money now?

That is the American dream. What millions of kids in their 20s have found out is that if you hold up your end, work low paying jobs, go to college .....there are no jobs when you get out. You end up competing for that same minimum wage job

Look at the kids who did there part and joined the military. They did their 3-4 years, developed skills, went to college when they got out........still no jobs

The right is reduced to championing the very people who screwed this country so they could make a buck.

well look at it this way, if it wasn't for the rich, many of whom either invented something,or sold the products they invented, we would all be living outdoors, defecating in public, handing out written messages to one-another being we have no electronic means of communication, we wouldn't have penthouse magazine, clean water, and McDonalds. Can anyone imagine life without any of those basic human luxuries?

Except it was not the rich who produced those things, they simply gave money to the people who DID in order to profit.

Don't pretend like wealthy are inherently valuable to the output in advancements of humans.

They are not. I would decry such thought myself as I am a scientist.

The real question is WHY DO YOU LOVE BEING OWNED BY THEM?

You mean rich people that Obama made richer with TARP and his stimulus? Maybe it’s the rich people you hate that got more money under Obama when he re-passed the Bush era tax cuts… Hmm… Sounds like you might wana reconsider that Obama vote in 2012, but you won’t because it’s Party over country for TM.

I'm not owned by anyone. However I am employed by a very rich man and he pays me very well. And I do love my job!!

Do you contradict yourself often?

In one sentence you claim not to hate rich people then claim to hate rich people in the very next sentence. Which is it?

They were offered jobs, none accepted.
