Cue [thatsracistkid.gif]

White girl trying to keep the Black Man down.

See, the message gets muddled because whoever made this sign probably wandered in from some Tea Party protest just down the road.

Or in "team."

Money can buy many peanuts.
Explain!
Money can be exchanged for goods and services.
Woohoo!

"The bad news is he's dead"

And yet his corpse would still be a better candidate than any of the current Republicans.

Barbigazi: Had too.

you read my mind.

Wow, you sure you're at the right protest?

Last, for my money, Captain America punching Ross Perot has been the coolest thing to come out of the Occupations so far.

GilRuiz1: Wow, you sure you're at the right protest?

Yeah, we get some chemtrail goofs and the usual complement of LaRouchies, also some Ron Paul goldbug types. That's what happens with a movement that is specifically open to all.

Is that little girl's shadow E.T.?

GilRuiz1: long, held-out fart of a derp

Keep it all in one post, corporate shill.

I heard a couple OWS people interviewed on NPR. They're not making a whole lot of sense.

I'm a history major and now I'm $20k in debt and can't find a job and somehow its Wall Street's fault?

No it's your fault for picking a major that provides you with no work skills and it's the goverment faults for providing so much cheap credit for student loans that the college tuition keeps skyrocketing. And it's the schools fault for charging you so much money to teach you nothing useful as far as employment goes.

farkin a, you're late to the party.

You may have heard them, but you weren't listening.

Oh goody, I was waiting for one of these threads today.

Does anyone know whose alt this is?

GilRuiz1: Or in "team."
[farm7.static.flickr.com image 500x375]

hehe that's good

OWS wants massive tax increases on the poor and middle class? I'll bet they don't want that at all.

GilRuiz1: Wow, you sure you're at the right protest?
[farm7.static.flickr.com image 500x375]

Maybe there's a RON PAUL convention in town?

Barbigazi: Bladel: mrshowrules: If a Liberal made a statement similar to FDR's today, he would be branded a Marxist nut-job. So sad.

If FDR were alive today, Fox & Friends would crack polio jokes and call him a "crippled rabble-rouser." *

*Even if he were in office. That's how much they respect America.

Stand up and claim your pri- oh. Oh god. I'm so sorry.

pwhp_67: Does anyone know whose alt this is?

Steve Rogers. But it's a secret identity, so keep it under your hat.

This was once a country that valued history and education. Because we allow Republican Wall Street bankers to live, it is such a nation no longer.

Geez you can trace most of our problems with government right now to the absolute abandonment of the constitutional restrictions on the role of government that FDR forced through by blackmailing the Supreme Court. So let's do it again!

MugzyBrown: I heard a couple OWS people interviewed on NPR. They're not making a whole lot of sense.

At least they aren't spouting nonsense like 999.

Bladel: If FDR were alive today,... he would be impeached for being a communist bastard.

FTFY.

History and education were NEVER high paying fields.

sprawl15: At least they aren't spouting nonsense like 999.


Yep, nothing like that at all...

jayg22: sprawl15: At least they aren't spouting nonsense like 999.

Having the government pay for college tuition would be less disastrous than 999.

Once again:

Don't have a degree? You should have gone to college, LIIIIB!

Have a degree in something other than a STEM discipline? Why did you get a useless degree, LIIIIB?

Have a degree in one of the STEM disciplines? Why'd you waste so much money going to college, LIIIIB?

There is literally no answer that right-wing scumbags don't have a ready-made dismissal for. They're not arguing life choices or offering solutions, they're only interested in blaming the victims.

Wall St crashed the economy when making slightly risky bets millions of times blew up in their faces.

Now, they're back to pre-recession levels of hoarded wealth and compensation.

They're also digging in against paying more in taxes to support a dragging economy.

They're also digging in against regulations that would have (could have? Should have, in the case of Glass-Steagall) prevented that excessive risk-taking.

They're also digging in against the suggestion that having a 200-to-1 (or 300-to-1 or 400-to-1, depending on whose estimates you like) ratio of CEO pay:worker pay is a bad thing.

They're also clinging to the notion that paying more in taxes makes them morally better (ignoring disparities in marginal RATES, as well as the sales, payroll, use and other taxes the rest of us pay).

They're fighting to keep "lazy and lucky" income (cap gains, which earns money for doing nothing other than being a good bet in retrospect) taxed at a lower rate than actual, sweat-producing work,

So it's not Wall Street's fault he's unemployed. It's Wall Street's fault he has little hope of being employed in the next 12 months. It's Wall Street's fault (plus their enablers' in DC) that, of whatever meager income he does see, a larger share of it goes to paying off a bigger debt.

// the unemployment rate for college grads is 5% and change, so he's better off than the GED Squad, at least

they need somebody to tell them what they're all goin on about.

EWreckedSean: Geez you can trace most of our problems with government right now to the absolute abandonment of the constitutional restrictions on the role of government that FDR forced through by blackmailing the Supreme Court. So let's do it again!

Actually you can trace most of the problems with the US government through the fact that it's run by corporate interests and neither entity has a care for the well being of the citizenry.

Seriously, you would trust a guy, wearing a jeans jacket with a skull on it, to be the kind of person who has meaningful incite into what should be in the Constitution?

Well, we've trusted it to fat old white men in suits for a hell of a long time and look where that got us. Maybe we could try something different.
