Government got us into this mess by letting Fannie and Freddie run wild. Government is the problem not the solution. Far as I am concerned barney frank, Chris Dodd and associates should be in hand cuffs for letting this happen. They are the ones who lead the coalition to block reform years ago to protect their own interest. Then they lied years later saying there was nt problem with Fannie and Freddie.
The OWS should be in front of the capitol and white house. They are the ones who created this mess and were bought off to look the other way.
There is a big difference between wearing pieces of your old uniform to demonstrate that you once served, and modifying it in a way that intentionally mocks the Services as a whole.Oh no, does people making fun of the Army make you sad? If I didn't already have a costume for this year I would do it again, just for you. The idiots who flip out about how someone is wearing a uniform miss the entire point of what being in the military is about.
BTW, Cream is nothing but cow fat.
Curd is where you get the best cheese. Can the stupid analogies, they do you no service.

In other words, I have a bigger personal problem with what you did than I do with the former Marine at the protest.
Of course you had the right to do so, but there was absolutely nothing honorable or admirable in what you did... perhaps you've completely forgotten the meaning of the word "honor"? How about "respect"?
/sigh...
To ensure that our government is addressing the needs of its tax paying citizens, it should be held accountable for achieving specific Gross National Happiness index target values (see Bhutan).

Low or no capital gains is great for the economy too. I just find it hard to morally justify taxing a man's labor at a higher rate than his investments.We've gone from 33%/31% cap gains in the top bracket to 15%. It's far from surprising to see income gap grow with that in place

There's no need to start repeating yourself. You've already made it quite clear to everyone that you have no respect for soldiers.Oh, and I know the meaning of the word 'respect' quite well. I can even use it in a sentence: "I have no respect for you whatsoever."

The irony of the stolen $5500 MacBook was certainly not lost on me. In fact, it's a perfect example of everything that is wrong with the OWS protesters and their supposed ideals...She had a 5500 MAC? who in the 99% crowd could afford such things. The thief just 'Taxed' here on that ill gotten apple.
Holy crap ...
I consider myself to be a pretty liberal person, but this is completely insane ....
I'd consider many options to try to shrink the disparity between the extreme top and the regular joe ... but not something that would fvck over all the rich as well as what remains of the middle class ...

Agreed. Demanding that your creditor gift you your $5500 MacBook while decrying those who stole it is literally the definition of irony.The irony of the stolen $5500 MacBook was certainly not lost on me.

Christ, a $5500 notebook. I am trying to justify a $1300 MacBook Air and I have a secure job and well paid.
It's appears she's another trust fund powered weekend revolutionist.
are those pay demands the official demands of the ows protests or just some crazy person?
