It is difficult to have a discuss...climatecriminal<br /><br />It is difficult to have a discussion when you spout stereotypes and generalizations. Why do you assume that they did not earn? People can have opinions and ethical ideals that are not linked to their pay cheques. At the same time, most people (according to protestors, 99% of the population) work hard so that the 1% can earn large sums off of the work of the 99%. I am not sure I would be so quick to call the 99% greedy for being a little upset by that. Also, enlighten me please on "the greedy unions". I am thankful always for the unions and the people in the labour movement who protested in the streets so that all workers benefit from things like... the weekend, a 40 hour work week, lunch breaks, a ban on child-labour, anti-discriminatory labour laws etc. I do not know what the answer is but I do know that people are suffering (not the 1%), but clearly too many people are suffering. I don't think it is fair to call these people greedy or to insist that they start a commune just because they recognize that there is something wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4206925865771080897.post-25822348317045752722011-10-21T15:53:01.132-04:002011-10-21T15:53:01.132-04:00Great post - the occupy wallstreet movement should...Great post - the occupy wallstreet movement should be occupying the whitehouse. It is government who is enabling the problem, not corporations.<br /><br />If you disagree with this, look at corporations and government and ask which one of them lets you opt out of their services, ask them which one of them takes part of your income every year, and which one of them gave $700bn to big banks.noirshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673793852120187640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4206925865771080897.post-14816014681931172832011-10-21T12:31:23.140-04:002011-10-21T12:31:23.140-04:00I'm a single parent, yes I do have a cellphone...I'm a single parent, yes I do have a cellphone after 3 years of saving, and I do have a car... a 2006 Kia (which is not one of the greedy big auto makers) and only got it out of my divorce!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4206925865771080897.post-68635496474537431942011-10-21T12:13:25.003-04:002011-10-21T12:13:25.003-04:00Wait a minute, since when was the wealthy 1% "...Wait a minute, since when was the wealthy 1% "successful"?! Most of that 1% became rich because of a life of privilege from being born into rich families... Many never having to work in their lives and all get tax breaks by Conservatives making them even richer...<br /><br />I work harder then most and am more qualified then at least 85 to 90% of those in my field and I make near the bottom of my industry for no other reason then a lack of training among those who are less qualified then myself who, in most cases, are the directors/executives who cause more issues then they solve (in fact I quit a job after incompetent superiors could not foresee the obvious and ignored my risk-assessment that warned of potentially dangerous issues; a few months after I quit my risk assessment happened and those same unqualified directors/executives publiclly stated "no one could have predicted this act)!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4206925865771080897.post-90096691958200989102011-10-21T11:00:47.143-04:002011-10-21T11:00:47.143-04:00a ridiculous comment anomymous; your movement is n...a ridiculous comment anomymous; your movement is nothing more that a front for radical socialists, communists and lunatic Al Gore groupies; it amazes me how many of these leftist parasites cry about corporate greed yet have cell phones, cars, clothes etc, etc, made by the so called greedy corporations but give a pass to the greedy big unions. Before making idiotic comments about corporate greed these people really should deal with their own greed first because all I hear from them is how they want to redistribute other peoples wealth. But why do they need other peoples wealth, aren't these the same people who say we should lead simpler lives with lower emissions? Maybee they should lead by example and insted of demanding something they didn't earn, they should start some Suzuki approved self sufficient communes.climatecriminalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4206925865771080897.post-50188619937512518482011-10-21T10:04:35.452-04:002011-10-21T10:04:35.452-04:00This movement is about making the real thieves acc...This movement is about making the real thieves accountable.
