Get a job? Is life that useless and dull for this guy? Ive got a job. Work a lot for a company and also pursue freelance interests. The majority of my adult life has been consumed by having a job. Youd think that by working so much it would possible to sustain a decent standard of living. Not one of opulence but of average comfort and security that all hard working AMERICANS could expect to achieve through "having a job."
Now Im not sure what the word "JOB" means to you but for most of us it is a concious trade of precious time,effort and energy exhausted through laboring in exchange for a fair and decent wage which may provide enough to cover lifes basic necessities. Not only are my wages becoming weaker as the price of commodities climb but also benefits are being drastically cut and the low demand of struggling AMERICANS means less hours available to work. You think the viciously greedy top 1% of this planet are so disgustingly wealthy from working hard and "having a "JOB"? If so Ill pardon your ignorance but in the eyes of many AMERICANS its quite clear that while our honest efforts and hours are slowly failing to provide while the sly,scheming deceitful 1% continue to bank off our backs with their wreckless insatiability. WE are tired of working hard to barely make ends meet! Tired of trading hours of our life to benefit the sickly rich! Tired of not seeing our family and loved ones while the majority of life passes to a paycheck! Tired of watching our aspirations in a better future dwindle! When a few people have TOO MUCH. TOO MANY people have TOO LITTLE.And when those few people say whats what.NO LONGER will there be a middle. WE will no longer just watch OUR world fall while in the control of this 1%. Together WE are commiting our LIFEs to the duty that calls US all so loud and clear. A stand is being made! An awakening is spreading! A drive to serve has overcome! NOW in this time in history WE ALL HAVE A JOB TO DO. A JOB from which the rewards gained WILL make all the money in the world look bleakly infinitesimal. Im with the 99% and so are YOU

Well said. These people have been brainwashed to the point of believing that any job with low wages and poor or no benefits is still a stepping stone to riches...if you just try hard enough.
