Forum Post: Occupy Skid Row

I say we strike a movement to Occupy Skid Row. Maybe if the skid-row looking occupiers stopped griping, actually showered and got a job (ANY JOB), they'd be working on wall street instead of stinking it up. There are too many people who are 'too proud to be;' people who think they're too good for a job. The truth of the matter is-- if you don't have your dream job-- TOUGH! Get one that pays the bills and stop blaming people who actually worked their way up. Is there a janitorial position open? All you sociology and anthropology majors who complain about not finding something better take it. Did you really think there was money in what you were studying? It's hard economic times, but really-- what kind of job did you think you were gonna get majoring in some fra fra area of study. Those who actually had the brains to major in something substantial that would make money, such as some area of health-care and science are the ones actually being penalized. They are the "rich" who will end up paying more in taxes... not the wall street gazillionaires. Most small business owners making $250,000 don't actually get to keep all that money... yet they get taxed on it just like these wall-streeters that you protest. Everyone should pay their fair share straight up, and not on some exponential curve where the rich get the short end of the tax stick.
