One of the many reasons OWS came about is because millions have been pursuing the amercan dream, paying their taxes, putting their noses to the grindstone as you would like to call it, being good honest citizens and see a broken country left as a result.
Have fun pursuing the amercan dream when there are no jobs because of our infrastructure.
Bullcrap. What I see and hear is a group of whiners who want instant gratification for minimum effort. They want real life to mimic one of their sitcoms or video games. I came from poverty where my brothers and I shared the "good pair of socks", that's how poor we were. Over the years I have been able to buy and sell 5 properties. I'm nothing special. I never went downtown to crap on cop cars when I wanted a house; I went to work. How the hell does "our infrastructure" cause no jobs?
I see a country that is still rich in natural resources. Yet we ruin farmers in California by diverting needed water from their land because of some stupid snail darter or other bug. We sit on treasures of oil and natural gas because of the emissions from one life-saving ice breaker ship that "irritates" a tiny village in AK. We explain it by pushing "green jobs". :shk:
Corruption and fraud pushed on us by liberal socialists is our problem. Fix it by removing Obama, for starters.
wow... As we are all entitled to our opinion, I think Thomas More said it best....
" If you suffer your people to be ill-educated, and their manners corrupted from infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded, but that you first make thieves and then punish them? "....
Liberal Socialist. Lets take a look at the definition.. Liberal: a free thinker, someone who believes in Equality... Socialism: A place where everyone is equal and given the same opportunities.. Now, remind me again, how is that such a bad thing? Why is it used as a Dirty Word?
You also say that us whiners, expect instant gratification? Does the GOP not expect the same from Obama? Calling him a failure after only 3 years with at least 10 years of economy killing needless war? The economy was crumbling before Obama got into office. War caused the economic downfall. Mindless spending on things other than infrastructure, killed this country. Laying off teachers, laying off working class Americans. Sending jobs overseas. Importing foods that are poisoning our own people... Tell me where your party lies here, other than drill baby drill? Save a bug maybe, maybe someday that bug helps create drug that saves your, or one of your loved ones life.
Who cares what party, or how liberal, or how conservative thinking you might be, the problem is blatantly obvious, yet no one is addressing it.. We are selling American to other countries. Bottom line. And someone, either Rep or Dem needs to stop it.
