2 Well it's always funny to see those folks running around with their cell phones and laptops then complaining about the evils of capitalism

85% of Americans are among the world's rich.  The rest are middle-class.  There are no poor Americans.

Our secrets?  Faith in the free market and suspicion of government.

Fuck liberals.

4 maroons

5 Really, like they care.

6 me and my gf together make almost 50 k a year living together as a couple starting out, does that mean i'm in the 1%?! cause that'd be awesome

7

The self-anointed 99% would do well to get over themselves.

Andy, you're not actually expecting that to happen, are you?

All that's missing from OWS types is the full "adult baby" regalia.

8 When the OWS food servers started complaining about the "professional homeless" the gig was up. Comedy Gold: In protest of the professional homeless "for three days beginning tomorrow, the cooks will serve only brown rice and other spartan grub instead of the usual menu of organic chicken and vegetables, spaghetti bolognese, and roasted beet and sheepÂ’s-milk-cheese salad."

9

Democrat Party motos: Screw America, DC is rich. Screw you, unions need your money so they can funnel it back to us. Screw you if you are losing money - pay up. OWS agrees.

 

10 Hey, I can make that collecting welfare and Jobless Benefits!

11 Well, then, no wonder this country's productive class of citizens have always been so generous to transnational disaster relief, medicine, security, food...

No righteous indignation here, just sayin'.

12 Why would hypocrisy or any of that bother the ows crew? They aren't really there for a reason.

13 theblackrepublican.net linked to a story from The Daily Caller that shows that most of the arrestees from OWS demonstrations ARE the (American) 1%.

14 The OWS'ers (???) are just spoiled little brats and need to be treated as such.  A boot to the butt!  lol

15

At some point, you've made enough money. Except for you, Warren Buffet, and all my generous Wall Street donors.

 

16 And with help from the democrat party, hundreds of thousands of uneducated by choice, illiterate, alcoholic, drug addicts, and baby breeders have moved from the poorest of the poor into the middle class,  aided by EITC, WIC, food stamps, housing allowances, and other governmental payouts. money stolen from their fellow citizens.

17

“It’s not the greedy Wall Street bankers who destroyed these people’s hopes. It’s the virtueocracy itself. It’s the people who constructed a benefit-heavy entitlement system whose costs can no longer be sustained. It’s the politicians and union leaders who made reckless pension promises that are now bankrupting cities and states. It’s the socially progressive policy-makers in the U.S. who declared that everyone, even those with no visible means of support, should be able to own a home with no money down, courtesy of their government. . . . The Occupiers are right when they say our system of wealth redistribution is broken. But they’re wrong about what broke it.”

27 If Occupiers, and their Democrat apologists, think their antics translates to votes, I gots some news:

Republicans prevailed in six out of six races in my area. (Spokane-N.Idaho)

28 While in Asia last year, I got into a "conversation" with a Brit who thought America should do more to help our poor. First on his list was "stop spending so much money on your military". I simply told him that there is no poverty in America. His eyes glazed over. About the time I uttered those words, three children in rags walked up to our table begging and he tried to shoo them away! I reached into my sack and produced some breads for the kids (rarely give money to beggars who say they are hungry). Over the next thirty minutes or so I was able to convince my friend that you cannot have fat, poor people. But he still thinks Booosh went into Iraq to make Halliburton rich.

29 What is it with facts? Facts do  not matter when income equality is so bad in this country. We the 99% have a right to fair wages which are denied us by the 1%'s greed and open theft of wealth from us!

35 2 Well it's always funny to see those folks running around with their cell phones and laptops then complaining about the evils of capitalism Posted by: Jeff at November 09, 2011 07:55 AM (xJSSF) And how POOR they are. Sporting personal computers with the capabilities to launch a man to the moon, and personal communication devices like something out of Star Trek... but they are SO poor... Why don't conservatives refute the utterly BS Liberal mantra that we are no richer today than in 1975? Back in 1975, they claimed we were no richer then than back in 1950. We all routinely travel in jets, go on vacations on islands our forefathers could only dream in, look at 1950's style small ranches as pathetic hovels compared to today's colonials and farmhouses. I don't think car companies even bother making cars without power-everything today. And yet we are no richer than in 1950? One conservative think tank estimated we are in fact 40 percent more affluent today, as a whole, than back in the 70's. That is something we as a movement need to embrace. WHEN will we stop allowing the Left to set the very terms of debate, to define what is or is not "extreme," to rewrite history and reality, to define even what is acceptable speech? Until we take away the power of the Left to set the rules and terms of public discourse, we will forever play a losing game.

Why anyone is taking these occupyers seriously at all is beyond me. I have a 20 year old son. Admittedly he is a little delayed because of his ADHD and various anxieties but he's in college and hasn't flunked out yet. He likes to work and made about $7000 over the summer. He spent it all immediately. He moved into an apartment this year for which I pay $300 month rent and I send him food money. Since he would starve if I sent it to him by the month, I put in $100 per week into his account. He was supposed to have his own money as a cushion. I gave him $100 last thursday night.

He called and asked for more on Monday morning because the girlfriend/hookup/whatever had a birthday on Wednesday and he was broke. No concept of consequences, no ability to deny himself, no responsibility. Somehow I'm responsible for some slut's birthday because he spent all his money and all his food money. No.

So stupid will have to get a clue because I won't vary from the initial agreement. If you want to buy the lay a present then buy less beer the weekend before. Duh.

Well, he probably needed the beer to get the lay to, er, lay.

51 Charity begins at home and in the community. You take care of your friends and family and everything else takes care of itself. These dopes are just too wrapped up in there own little heads to realize this. They need to go home and do something nice for they're parents, tend to an elderly neighber, volunteer at a food pantry. Maybe this will ease their pain or maybe I'm being too simplistic or naive.

52

Somehow I'm responsible for some slut's birthday because he spent all his money and all his food money. No.

I seriously laughed.

Let's hope she's never your daugther-in-law.

Holidays could be ugly.

54

^^^THIS!   THANK YOU!

Can't tell you how many times that's been my line when someone wanted still more of my money.  I take care of my own, when anything is left I go take care of others.

Personally. 

I don't need Uncle Sugar to do it.  It would be nice if everyone else felt that same way.

55 It's mathematically impossible for the median American to be in the top 1% globally, since he makes less money than half of the US population-- that's a bit over 150 million people, which comes to a bit over 2% of world population.  I'm guessing that that $34,000 figure is based on per-capita income, not household income.

56

They occupiers are occupied with greed.  Not greed as in go out and make a superior product and vanquish your competitors greed.  Rather, itÂ’s I donÂ’t want to work and I demand you give me half or more of your labor greed.

The only way to stop them and their sympathizers is to socialist-proof the constitution with amendments prohibiting governmentÂ’s intervention in health care, retirement and the institution of a flat tax and balanced budget amendment.  Unless this is done, manÂ’s weakness for greed will continue to tear his government asunder.  The Framers did their best to prevent the new government from collapsing into another monarchy.  If they could have seen socialism and what a cancer it would become, IÂ’m certain they would have put those other safeguards into place.

57 been around the world, to some of the poorer areas, and poverty in america is nearly non-existent unless someone invites it upon himself.  think ace posted here the list of riches that the "poor" in this country take for granted, like every major appliance you can imagine to say nothing of general cleanliness, clean water, food, and living area in a real 4-walled building, not a corrugated steel shanty.

58 Well if you like your corrugated steel shanty....

No, he would not be for that.  In keeping with his family tradition it would be more like:

Well if you like your cardboard box....

I believe his half-brother is still living in one.

60
   "Poor" in America is a relative term. Our "poor" would, in most 3rd world countries would be unimaginably wealthy. Ask a Somali how he/she would feel with a 34k salary.

  Maybe the term needs redefining.

61

While in Asia last year, I got into a "conversation" with a Brit who thought America should do more to help our poor. First on his list was "stop spending so much money on your military".

 

The thing is, the Brits wouldn't be able to have all those people living on the dole and their fabulous nationalized healthcare if we did spend less on our military.  They and all the other Western nations that are under our umbrella of protection would actually have to cough up some dollars for defense if we scaled back as much as they claim they want us to.  Of course, they may get their wish if Ogabe wins another term.

62 Oh, and I've always thought we do have the richest "poor" people in the world.  Other "impoverished" people around the globe don't have free housing, cable t.v., cell phones, gold teeth grills or Cadillacs. 

63

No, he would not be for that.  In keeping with his family tradition it would be more like:

He blew $7K, but couldn't commute to college from home so you're not paying rent?  Good Christamighty, put that boy on a Ramen diet.  $100 a week is too much.

30  I simply told him that there is no poverty in America.

 

I've said this to liberals, who splutter with rage. Their response?

"No poverty? Some people can only afford basic cable, for God's sake! Where is your decency?"

71 I call bullshit on $34K being in the top 1%.  1% of the world's population is 70 million.  Only 70 million people make more than $34K?  That didn't pass the smell test so I quickly checked U.S. numbers.  In the U.S. alone, over 80 million people had personal incomes over $35K according to the census bureau.  There is no doubt that our poor are not poor at all by global standards but that 1% number makes no sense.

72 Poverty is a dishonest way to evaluate things.

I agree, at an obvious level, there is relatively little poverty in America.

But the way the government sees it, there is always the same amount of poverty, because their metric is disparity.  If everyone got ten times richer, or lost 90% of their money and income, the poverty level would not change.

The only way to change it is to make everyone the same, aka communism.

What we should worry about instead is eliminated illiteracy and hunger.  There are very few places where hunger is a problem in America.  There's always some severe abnormal factor causing it.  Illiteracy is rising slightly because our educators are unionized, so the fix there is clear.

All this occupy crap is about is power.  They know their plans would reduce wealth and have a negative impact on real issues, but it would also give them power over everybody.  That's what they really want.

Quite the opposite of TEA partiers who want a weaker government that taxes them less.

73 @dagny

Something I wish my parents did to me when I was in college is to expose me more to the costs of living.  They paid for tuition, provided food and room and board (I commuted to college), so I didn't pay much attention to money in college. (spoiled youngest kid, what can I say).  I didn't learn about managing my own living expenses until I moved away from home and got a job and my own apartment.

IMAO, you should force him to save a % of the money he earns.   7k is a good amount of money, and it's shameful on him to ask you for more money now ...   Personally, I'd tie his continued subsidies to his ability to save.   "50% of that summer money needs to go into a savings account/investments in order for me to pay your college costs at the current rate; otherwise I'll reduce payments by the amount you don't save.   If you can afford to splurge so much on luxuries, clearly you're able to pay for your own college edumacation." 

74 Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure.
