Thank You!!!
I agree with you, these people want everything handed to them on a silver platter. I would like to know when it became a crime to be rich in America. There are jobs out there, maybe they all don't pay $20 or $30 per hour that's just too bad. Stop being so damn lazy and earn a living. I work 50 to 60 hours a week to pay my bills but at least I don't sit around in a park. Oh and a lot of these protesters should check this out......www.life123.com...

I think you have a grievous lack of understanding about actual protests. See, people who actually have a cause will stick it out. They see hardship as a challenge to overcome, rather than incentive to quit...What money?
It... doesn't work that way. There are, by the nature of the system, fewer jobs than potential employees. Only in the most insane, booming-est economy will you ever see anything like 100% employment.
Swear to god, all you people frothing about "capitalism" could at least learn how markets work.
All human beings are entitled to a level of care - adequate food, housing, access to warmth and clean water. These things are "human rights." I understand that you may be like many on ATS who would rather just gun down the destitute and throw them in a trench...
...If you were able to yank your head from whatever warm, dank crevasse you have it stored in, you would understand...
I do have a job, actually. Since this job places other human beings under my care - even indirectly, in my particular case - I feel my obligation to them is higher than to my political urges. Maybe you're unfamiliar with that sort of thing, but there it is.

This system has brought me happiness, joy and a good life. When i look at how my life could be if i lived in countries like China, North Korea, Iran or more, it makes me even more grateful for what i have.
I dont want your revolution.

Hate to break it to you, but how can there be jobs everywhere if some 15% of people can't get one no matter how hard they try.
And clearly there are not business opportunities everywhere because people are not spending money. In fact many businesses are struggling to keep their heads above water, so in your imaginary world we start up even more businesses and there will be jobs for everybody right? Thats not going to happen.
Stop believing that its not possible to improve the situation.
You might be happy with the system but its pretty childish to suggest that those that go to a protest are being paid to do so. Are you being paid to oppose the protest? Are you (or anybody else) at work and being paid by your employer whilst you are writing messages on ATS?
Instead of going down this sick, cynical route...

Wall Street is hardly the problem since everything they did is legal and not a crime.
Pathetic.
