You deserve only what you have earned through hard work!

Please tell me how hard the Wall st. bankers had to work for their bailout. I always here work harder from you folks. Tell me, how many hours per week I need to work to earn my $500 million paycheck.

Really.... What's this then?

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness

What about what they steal?

[-] 1 points by Mooks (1985) 13 years ago

Stealing is one thing, most of the money made on Wall St. is done completely legally though. Blame the government for allowing it.

Steal a loaf of bread and they put you in jail, steal a land and they make you king...

LOL this moron is a troll trying to incite violence...

[-] 1 points by NotOccupying (94) 13 years ago

Nobody owes you anything. The people on wall street worked hard to get to where they are. If you want to be where they are then go get a business degree and work hard to get there. This is America where peple work, not get handouts.

[-] 1 points by synonymous (161) from New York, NY 13 years ago

wait a minute there....welfare class gets handouts, banks and investment firms get handouts, farmers get subsidy, military suppliers get kickback, S&L's get bailouts, other countries get tons of support? What about the middle class? What about the working class? Why all the Pork?

Work hard or "lie, cheat and steal"?

[-] 1 points by saturdaynightpolitics (108) from Cleveland, OH 13 years ago

No one owes you a damn thing! Take responsibility for your own life. I am not saying that you shouldn't try to better your position or that even lobbying the government for change is poor course of action, but expecting that some one owes you something is nonsense. You owe it to yourself to make the changes you want to see and if you can more power to you!

Everyone deserves to make an above average income!

[-] 1 points by HearMeOut (7) 13 years ago

This makes no sense. The definition of average implies that 50% of everyone will not be above average. Wealth is relative. Here's something to consider: If everyone had a billion dollars, the person with a million dollars would be poor.

[-] 1 points by superman22x (188) 13 years ago

The funny part is, you took me seriously.

[-] 1 points by ummbereal (4) 13 years ago

This is eactly why I write this movement off. Too many with this mentality. No one owes you a thing. If you didn't work for it you don't deserve it. Entitlement syndrome.

[-] 1 points by pissedoffconstructionworker (602) 13 years ago

Nice work, troll! You almost had me going for a second there with your lame ass imitation of a stereotypical "welfare queen".

ok i dont know what a troll is, so i'm gonna take it that your disrespecting me. get off of here you 1%, no your probably the .1%, .1% of a soul you racist

You are not helping your cause or your race Free"dumb"

[-] 1 points by Yepper (277) 13 years ago

Racism is when 95% of one race votes for a President because of the color of his skin.

[-] 0 points by karenpoore (902) 13 years ago

Do you have facts to support your statement here? Just for the record, I voted for his "words" and I am a 64 year old white woman!

[-] 1 points by Yepper (277) 13 years ago

Yeah 95% it was. The hypocrtis get to me. I understand many voted for Change without realizing what they were going to get. The MEDIA had your generation scared to death. Also the choices in the last election were not very good. A RINO (McCain) or an unvetted community organizer with no experience (Obama).

[-] 0 points by karenpoore (902) 13 years ago

I have to admit I have not been happy with our government for a very long time and I have not voted. I have another confession and that is there are two reasons I voted for Obama. One reason was I believed his words and felt hope. Second reason is I thought that that if Obama was half white and half black he would be more fair.

[-] 1 points by pissedoffconstructionworker (602) 13 years ago

What do you deserve again? Exactly what is it? Have you earned anything?

[-] 1 points by Freedumb (14) 13 years ago

im a human being!! i deserve what you got what you think your better than me??

[-] 1 points by Kulafarmer (82) from Kula, HI 13 years ago

You got exactly what every body else did, air to breathe time to live, a mind to think, and the ability to reason, its kinda up to you to do something that brings you wealth, and not all wealth and acheivement is measured in dollars either!

[-] 1 points by Yepper (277) 13 years ago

Jefferey Dalmer was also a human being. Does he also deserve what I have earned?

[-] 1 points by Freedumb (14) 13 years ago

i don't know who dalmer is, all i know is that the wall st. men have, and my 9 children and i don't have.. I don't understand why they keep getting cars and boats when some of us dont have shoes!!!

[-] 1 points by networth0dollars (8) 13 years ago

this has got to be a troll, no one in the movement is honestly this ignorant.

[-] 1 points by Kulafarmer (82) from Kula, HI 13 years ago

And if they are bring on the mace and the zipties!

[-] 1 points by Yepper (277) 13 years ago

Are yoiu ever off your back? Why do you nee shoes when it appears you never leave the bed?

[-] 0 points by karenpoore (902) 13 years ago

Sweetie, you might should have thought about the children and their need for shoes before you brought them into this world. Just sayin. It's the kids that suffer you know.

[-] 1 points by Freedumb (14) 13 years ago

bless you, a day don't go by that i dont think about how I should of done things differently. but the fat cats at wall st. have made bigger mistakes than me, and they owe it to the people to give us back what they took!

[-] 0 points by karenpoore (902) 13 years ago

Yes, I do not see any people being bailed out that is for sure!

[-] 0 points by karenpoore (902) 13 years ago

No, but please think of America as a community ... if you can afford to help someone less fortunate than yourself help them instead of taking that 5/10k vacation, etc..

[-] 1 points by Yepper (277) 13 years ago

I have a blind Uncle that works. I agree people with disabilities need help but we have generations of abled bodied people who refuse to work. Sucking off the Government teat is not good for them or the country.

[-] 0 points by karenpoore (902) 13 years ago

I agree. There has to be some way of regulating/solving this problem.

[-] 0 points by karenpoore (902) 13 years ago

Ideally, I think all Americans' are way to spoiled and we need to become more self-sustainable instead of depending on someone else for their living. e.g. would be "in an ideal situation" everyone would have different skill sets to become self employed, learn to grow food and feed yourself, etc. instead of working for these giant corporations that take our souls. Just thinking ...

[-] 0 points by Freedumb (14) 13 years ago

all of y'all are cold, you probably in the 1%. at least our Prez cares about us. He's giving us HEALTH coverage. my 9 children will be COVERED!

[-] 1 points by bobwalk (13) 13 years ago

Free"dumb", it's obvious that you have no education and based on your comment you have also burdened us with 9 children that you can't support. What exactly do you "contribute" to our society?

[-] 0 points by karenpoore (902) 13 years ago

I guess you should stay out of the bedroom if you cannot afford lots of kids. That is for the kid's sake too.

[-] 1 points by Yepper (277) 13 years ago

How long before it is 12 children I get to pay for? I bet they have 9 different Dads also. You are why America is in BIG trouble.

[-] 1 points by Freedumb (14) 13 years ago

No america is in big trouble cause Bush messed up EVERYTHING obama trying to fix it all, but none of y'all won't let him the problem is wall st. the bankers, they holding it ALL

[-] 1 points by Yepper (277) 13 years ago

The Democrats want you to stay on your Plantation: $14,000,000,000,000 (fourteen million million) plus $1,600,000,000,000 added each year. We currently can not pay the interest on this money with our tax revenue. Taking all of the money, not taxing all of the money, of those making over $250,000 per year does not fill the gap. The clear implication, taxes do not do the trick so "taxing the rich" is nothing but a Democratic buzz word to incite support. We must stop spending and that means some are going to suffer, some. If we do not control this insanity, we all will suffer, ALL. Are you aware that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of wealthy Americans making contingency plans to leave America if this thing blows up? No? It is true. Are you aware that millions of Americans are making plans to unite for mutual protection if this thing blows up? No? Well, it is true also. On the verge of collapse and the damned Democrats are still name calling, finger pointing, twisting words, lying and any thing else they can do to further a failing ideology. No? Read:

Both were Democrats. The troubling facts: 80% Democrat offenders, 20% Republican A ten year old child can look at the facts above and see the common threads.

We are in a GLOBAL financial mess. AND from what I understand America's economy will collapse. Congress, The House and the President are all bought and all need to be fired and Wall Street and Bankers need to be regulated. It does not matter which party they belong.

Everyone that supports the American community by working all their lives and paying taxes through their nose deserves more than a measly paycheck to pay their rent. People deserve a decent place to live, food, clothing, medical care and education.

[-] 1 points by LibertyFirst (325) 13 years ago

American welfare provides food, shelter and access to medical care. In addition, the majority of poor in America also have air conditioning, cell phones, and televisions. Stop your ridiculous whining.

[-] 0 points by karenpoore (902) 13 years ago

Here educate yourself and know that not everyone has DECENT food, shelter and medical care. Food: some have to choose between food or medication, heat etc. and as far as shelter goes if you are not living on the street there is a long waiting list for housing (if you want to live in what is provided - not pretty) and a lot of people just just plain out die because they do not have medical insurance. Do you know how hard it is to find a doctor that will accept Medicare?

I am a strong believer in sharing what I have with those in need (not want, but need)... I would remind everyone that in the United States even people that are on welfare are still in the top 5% of the wage earners in the world... therefore be careful with the share the wealth ... the rest of the world would have a right to get what you have and you don't feel you have enough...

Taking something from someone against their will is stealing.... getting them to voluntarily share is a global community.... do you want third world countries taking from you because you have more than them?

everything's relative... think it through...

[-] 0 points by karenpoore (902) 13 years ago

I am not sure I believe in this "Global" thing or is it "One World Government"?

[-] 1 points by ChicagoT (54) 13 years ago

so where do you stop? If it is only right for rich Americans to share with poorer American, shouldn't the same be true for Our rich Country sharing with poorer countries? It is a world economy.... one country suffers effects another...

So when we talk about greed, is it only the greed of others that will not share with me? Does it not possible apply to my unwillingness to share with others less fortunate than me?

It's a big subject that can easily make the good look bad....

in my view global community doesn't mean global government...

From my view I see the "American Empire" trying to push their values and ways on the rest of the world ... at least the part of the world that they can steal their resources! I do see a one world government coming down the road and that is what the American people are transitioning to right now. Our standard of living will be lowered to fit the rest of the world which in my mind is not all bad because Americans' are resource hogs, greedy and materialistic. I think I think that each community should take care of their own people and all communities should have the opportunity to do so. Of course, I do not know if America could be self sustainable with such a large population and we may have to depend on other countries. Geesh, I do not know. It is such a complex subject.

[-] 1 points by ChicagoT (54) 13 years ago

very complex...

[-] 1 points by bobwalk (13) 13 years ago

So you believe that all work is equal? Someone who quits school in 5th grade and pushes a broom for a living deserves the same pay as someone who goes to college for 8 years and becomes a doctor? I tell you what, the next time you get really sick or injured go to that broom pusher for your medical care and see how far that gets you.
