And look, lo and behold, it all goes back to the disastrous presidency of the Great un-American Reagan. Damn if I could only the repo man hadn't taken my time machine away.

The graph in Tom's post is the main point. However, I don't understand the vertical axis. 350% of what?

Get a job ya dirty hippy!
Most times its the simple solutions that work best: working a job for money rather than stealing from others (entitlements) seems reasonable.
The OWS'ers know the country is laughing at their idiocy.

So the Oakland PIGS can get away with rules of engagement that even our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan are not allowed to use.
Talk about things that make you go HMMMMMMMM?

Hey CornHole Chomper you know what is funny in a pathetic way? When we on the Progressive and intelligent side post pics of you ignorant hateful TeaBaggers they are real photos. These dumb as turds un-Americans display their wanton stupidity and bigotry thru their own hand made and misspelled signs.
Because you and the other sheeple have NOTHING you respond with a lame as all photoshop job.
Are we supposed to be impressed or just sorry for you?
By the way nice touch of misogyny there scum bag.

Pile-O-turds - you've labeled yourself as a taker rather than a producer.
Sad you quit trying to better yourself.
Now you must suffer the disdain and ridicule of the anti-OWS working people.
Enjoy the next visit from the cops! Tear gas must be so pleasant at 4am!
Go get a job you dirty hippies.

We have been moving towards an oligarchy in this country for quite some time, but the middle and even lower classes have a decent lifestyle for the most part.
Where the concentration of wealth is a true problem is when it comes to political power. Particularly since the Citizen's United Supreme Court decision.
That one will eventually bite the ass of everyone from either end of the political spectrum.

So Corny let's see if we can examine your fool's words.
Pile-O-turds - A fair if not humorous attempt.
you've labeled yourself as a taker rather than a producer Now, how and why would that be? I am a business owner. I work my ass off. I raise my kids. I donate time and services. Please explain how I have labeled myself so. Exactly what makes me a taker in your fetid musings? Is it just because you think so poorly of progressives that I am, in your mind, guilty by association?
Sad you quit trying to better yourself. I can't fathom where you get this notion other than the same guilt by association non-sense. Obviously you have not been paying attention. I have started my life over. I have quite recently separated & divorced, quit smoking tobacco, had major life saving spinal surgery and started drawing, painting, sculpting, and writing again. So how is it I quit trying to "better myself"? Is it because I am not a devoted TeaBagger or Noob-Conservative that in your mind I have so tragically stagnated.
Now you must suffer the disdain and ridicule of the anti-OWS working people. I suffer no fools. Are you really stupid enough to believe Rush's assessment of OWS participants? Do you really think that all those folks are unemployed welfare recipients? To be ridiculed by idiots oh the horror. What will my parents tell the neighbors?
Enjoy the next visit from the cops! Tear gas must be so pleasant at 4am! What exactly does this supposed to mean? Why is it supposed to be relevant to me?
Go get a job you dirty hippies. The whole "Ditto Rush" Dirty Hippie BS. Good lord man are you dense.
REALLY!?! Why don't you go and tell that to the WWII US vets who are protesting. I am sure they will appreciate your ASS-essment. On your way why not stop at the Wetburro Babtist Church for an anointment. They are looking for a few good sheeple to continue the gud wuk ofda Lawd.

I think the protests make a lot of sense.
The U.S. took a punch in the face far worse than 9-11 in the banking meltdown.
Nobody is being prosecuted, although fraud was obvious and widespread.
If the financial lobbyists and the boards of Fannie and Freddie were muslims in Yemen, we would be killing their asses with drone strikes.

While we are at it, I used to wonder if any of those tea party wag bags had jobs. If so, they must have used up all of their sick days.
They had a point. Even if the OWS or the Tea Party turned your stomach, the constitution does expressly give the freedom of assembly.
Which state is it that passed a curfew to try to shut the OWS protests down? Tennessee?
They get arrested, but the magistrate refuses to prosecute. Pretty clear violation of the constitution.
I need to check on any protests in my state. It will be hard to go to because I work too damn much. Sure wish I had an 8 to 5. Getting into the 1% isn't all that fun unless you are one of the many who happened to hit the vaginal lottery to gain your wealth.
