I did everything right, worked three jobs, bought a house I could afford, took care of my family.....Then one night, I woke up and my house was worth nothing, my neighborhood was filled with drug dealers, and paroled pedophiles, one that tried to kidnap my kid. I lost my house because I needed to get out, the public schools in my neighborhood were filled with gang banging thugs.
I go to school full time, and work 80 hours a week. When and if the Corporate thugs let me rebuild my credit, they will just victimize me and everyone else who have fallen victim to their greed. Where is our bail out, will we be protected from price gouging NO!!!!!!!
I WANT MY BAIL OUT......
To bail out we must know the way out. We keep it in place through our daily addictive habits of mindless business, consumption, production, accumulation and mass schooling that makes us ready to work only as wage slaves of this globalized imprisoning system. http://conscious-capitalism.blogspot.com
Don't we all Brother... Don't we all. hang in there. I feel the same way about my house. I have never missed a payment and my kids grade school is good but high school has went to crap too. My house has dropped so much In value and I live in a nice part of town. (whatever that means)I owe dbl what it's worth!!
Exercise choice (which a free market guarantees) and move your family.
How to another economically wrecked part of the country or to a totally different wrecked country.... And quit paying for my house so the bank takes that too. And by the way this isn't a free market are you kidding me??
No joke. Try vermont. Below average unemployment. Plenty of jobs. Nice people. (no I dont live there). Point is there is always choice. America is about rugged individualism not collective fatalism. Thats called France, maybe Greece...look how well collective principles are working over there.
I have made my choice and I'm fighting for more choices. I'm not trying to be against you. I want a strong economy. I'm tired of sacraficing more pay so sum rich CEO can afford a second Mercedes. I understand life isnt fair but I'm not getting taken advantage of
In a way we're in agreement re: sacrificing pay. However the single largest line item in my monthly budget is taxes...more than housing and food combined...literally. The only organization "taking" money from me is the Govt. My CEO signs my check. And I dont begrudge him what he has...i want to figure out how to get it myself. Same root cause to our frustration, just different targets perhaps.
I'm sure certain groups are taxed to much and sum too little. The point is I'm not against your beliefs ( well maybe I am) but I want us to be represented by sumone that fights for u. The 1% isn't me. They don't represent me or most the public. I just want representation.
You believe that the 1% rule the govt which then rules us? (question, not a challenge). If so, how.?
Good question who puts more money in donations Candidates for government office it's very simple big corporate money. Let's say you get elected who are you gonna represent the guy who donated 2 million or twenty dollars. It's a simple answer. And who usually wins the big election the guy with more money. Why do you think these big banks put big money into both major political parties??
All true. Though hard to reconcile with the fact that (im guessing--though admit its tough to refute) the majority of those "occupying" wall street voted proudly for the guy in office. Please dont imply that the candidate of Hope and Change is not adequately representing the 99%, regardless of where his campaign donations came from? Additionally, I would argue his vifliication of the 1% sparked the fire in Manhattan, so they got exactly what they voted for. They should be thanking his top donators not parading them in effigy. :)
Yeah I tend to stay away from the dem and rep parties because they are In my opinions puppets. But I'm sure more than a few on here don't do the same but I'm not gonna crucify them it's time for real change. And hopefully this movement creates it! But we will wait and see
It's not the rich people's fault it's ours for being complacent.
BINGO
