Traders From Chicago Board Of Trade Dump McDonald’s Applications On Occupy Chicago Protesters

» 683 comments

In the middle of an Occupy Chicago teach-in this week, traders at the Chicago Board of Trade dumped several sheets of paper on top of the heads of protesters below. Demonstrators were angered to find out they were showered with employment applications for McDonald’s.

RELATED: Chicago Board Of Trade Taunts Occupy Chicago: “We Are The 1%”

“Real class acts, the Chicago Board of Trade,” tweeted Occupy Chicago. “This week, it’s McDonald’s job applications they litter from the windows. Soulless place.”

This is the second incident between the two groups, following Chicago Board of Trade’s “We Are The 1%” missive plastered on their windows last month.

Washington Times freelancer Peter Bella reports that unlike other cities, the Occupy Chicago movement “does not have a permanent encampment. They have a one half block stretch each on LaSalle Street and Jackson Boulevard,” across the street from the Board Of Trade, and have been relatively peaceful.

Here are the sheets the traders dropped on demonstrators:

    Funny , but you probably don’t want them handling food .

    When I took this pic I had no idea it would spread like wildfire across the net. 

  • van

    Fleabagggers don’t want jobs, they just want someone to keep buying stuff for them.  It is unlikely that any could handle the complicated tasks required in fast food service, maybe start them with cleaning up the disasters they leave from their temper tantrum/assualt fest rallies.

    A lot of us have jobs but it’s rather hard to survive when we make just enough to eat & share a place to sleep with roommates. I have not been to a doctor of any sort in years. Im healthy, but if I ever get really ill im in serious trouble probably.

    Didn’t they demand a minimum income of $20,000 annually whether one works or not?

    One woman in the video scoffed at the idea of taking a job that only paid 10-15 per year.  A 10 per hour job is an annual salary of $20,800 and 15 per hour is $41,200 per annum.

    It seems that what they really want is money earned by anyone but themselves.    Why work for a living when you can just laze around chanting slogans  and get paid for it.

    Bloody hilarious!  Every day we get stories demonstrating the sheer contempt most American have for these lunatics.  What Occupy Chicago should have tweeted was a thanks to the good folks of the Chicago Merchantile Exchange for supplying these idiots with at least a couple days of toilet paper. 

    Now they have something to wipe those down twinkles off with!

    Welcome back, Grammie!!

    I was listening to a small business owner the other day and she said she’s had several people turn down jobs because, in their words “I can make more money staying at home and collecting unemployment”.  It’s ridiculous.  You take the job and keep looking for a better one IF you really want to work.

    Thank you, Michelle.

    I just got Netflix a month and a half ago and have been reveling in Masterpeice Theater and movies that I mssed all those years that I had so many demands on my time.  Besides I find current politics depressing.

    Our country is at a cross road that will determine whether we regain our status  the greatest country in history that we have been or will continue down the path to self destruction that we have started upon.

    Soooo, Occupy is just a simple little grass-roots group, yet they have a General Assembly? And I’m assuming they take donations, right? Why isn’t the IRS all over them? If they haven’t filed paperwork, aren’t they violating a whole bunch of tax laws?

  • Nanaria

    In the meantime…1 in 15 live in extreme poverty, extreme. Congress does….nothing. A lot of stereotyping going on here. People want to work, they want jobs to support their families, they want health care and a roof over their family’s heads. What is wrong with all of you posting your hateful stereotypes? 

  • Ray

    I realize it’s hard reading the real news in any depth when it’s so much easier simply parroting FOX talking points, but here’s a little update: the protesters aren’t socialist lefties looking for handouts, or railing against capitalism–they’re protesting white collar crime that’s devastated our economy and ruined the lives of millions. Important difference.

  • Me

    Have you even taken the time to see what these people have gone through? Many are college graduates and in debt from getting that education. The degree they recieved is completely useless because they cannot find work in that field and for them to settle with a minimum wage job that will leave them living below the poverty level seems rather ridiculous. I am a full time college student and work full time and I am still for the movement. Obviously referring to everyone as lazy and uneducated is pure ignorance on your part.

  • Drea

    The posts on here are truly disturbing and just show the lack of empathy most of you have. I truly hope you do not find your self in my position. I was recently laid off from a great paying job. I have 2 boys and I’m struggling to find another job. My income HAS to be at a certain wage because of my rent and car payment plus providing for my boys. My unemployment only covers rent and car. Not food, electricity or the cost of gas from driving my mother around who is 67 years old and has never fully recovered from a stroke. So in your educated (sarcastically said), opinion I should forgo my unemployment which is only 2000 a month and flip burgers for 7.50 an hour. This way my boys and I can be on the streets and you can insult us more with your bullying tactics. Get the F.O.H. And you call yourselves Christians? I guess you missed the part where the bible talks about loving your neighbor et al.

  • Anonymous

    Too funny ….and Drea, protesting and acting like loons, will not help you find employment….
    I guess sarcasm is lost on you .. Sorry about your situation, but OWS will not solve it.

    Me: who borrowed the money? Perhaps the degree in social science was a waste..but blame that on the school for overcharging you, not everyone else. You made a choice, if it was a bad decision, don’t blame others

    Nannaria, my comment was directed at the OWSers as represented by the video from Michelle and the above article.

    BTW, what does “extreme poverty” represent in the US as opposed to “extreme poverty” in other than first world countries?

    “Extreme poverty”  brings a picture to my mind of something that I don’t believe exists in this country other than perhaps self imposed due to mental illness.

  • Drea

    I disagree. It got Americans truly talking and is showing exactly what the elite are. Selfish, ignorant,  heartless bullies. Attacking people when they are down instead of thinking outside the box to truly solve American problems.  Corporations should not be involved in elections period. We’re actually not blaming anyone, just calling out immoral and unethical.

    Sorry, Drea, but you are assuming that no one who disapproves of and oppose the OWSERS have eever had anything but enviable financial situations and living standards.

    My husband grew up literally bare foot poor and quit school the day he turned 16 to support his widowed Mother.  For two years prior to that he had one full time after school job plus two part time jobs on week ends.  My husband was a wonderful hardworking man his entire life.

    During our 40 year marriage we were at various times in every economic quintile, from the bottom to the top.  So please spare me your superior moral tone.  If you can’t afford your current rent either move or explore sharing with your Mother to the benefit of you both.

    Whenever we had serious recessions in this country my Mama always said “If things get real bad we’ll just do like we did in the Great Recession.  Move together, pool incomes and make do with what we have  to survive.” 

    If you are facing your personal Great Recession try anything and everything to hold on until the economy picks up other than demanding that everyone else take responsibility for you.  You do know that your Unemployment Benefit at $24,000 per year is hgiher even than what the OWSERS are demanding.

    That being said I wish you luck in finding a good job.  The longest I was ever out of work during a severe recession was 18 months and it was very easy to get Temp work then.

That’s exactly the same opportunity to engage that I have as a union non-member. The union is nothing more than all of its members in a room, and its members are as fully empowered as anyone, so why should just getting into a room together result in huge political control?

    Everyone who commented is truly entertaining. You act as if I’m attacking you. I’m talking about the elite billionaires. I know what hard work is. No one is complaining. I was defending what alot of you people call bottom feeders who had the bad luck of being laid off. That’s it. I have been working since I was 12 when my father would pay me to clean his dental lab. Speaking of whom, lost just about everything when the Stock Market went out. Then he lost his job. This was a man who worked his way up from SW Phila to the Main Line with a mortgage for a 600000.00 home. At 70 he is now struggling, trying to start a new dental lab and not getting anywhere because of the economy. So spare your contempt. Why does it seem like if you have an opposing view you just get insulted. Doesn’t anyone have an open mind anymore? Stop getting stuck in the right wing rhetoric and listen to the real people stories out there and not just one of your talking puppets spewing hate.

    How comprehensive has your job search been looking for work? I mean, are you just looking in places within an easy commute, or are you looking at places where the jobs are? A friend of mine here on Staten Island just took a job in Maryland because that was where his skill set (IT/programming) was wanted. He spends Monday-Friday down there, then comes home weekends to work on the house he and his wife just bought. I told him that was pretty extreme, and he said “You do what you gotta do so you can pay the bills.”

    http://goo.gl/g6i9p This is mechanically separated chicken. This is what Chicken McNuggets are made from (also slim jims, and you can find it in Campbell’s Chicken Soup). This stuff is disgusting.

    As to the meat in their hamburgers. They mix all the meat together and take out just about everything and are left with something gray and tasteless they call meat. To add juicy flavor back they add an ingredient called urea. It’s a urine extract. Then they add in the red coloring to make it look like meat, though it still looks mostly gray.

    By the way it’s all the mixing of the meat together which meant a few years ago a couple of tons of meat had been discarded when one they found one cow had been tainted. Ruined the entire batch.

    They should also be protesting themselves, for over borrowing and not researching career prospects for their majors. Banks didn’t FORCE anyone to take out loans that they couldn’t afford to repay. If the borrowers don’t read the fine print and ask questions, or perhaps do a little research, then it’s no ones fault but their own. ANYONE has internet access these days, even the homeless through the public library systems in most towns. Instead of encouraging Jr. to seek a degree in things like Women’s studies, art history or whatever makes little Chad or Sophie feel good about themselves, perhaps mummy and daddy should have encouraged the kiddos to seek a career that they could make a living at. This way they could, you know, make a living and feed their love for art or early banjo history as a hobby. Lessons in critical thinking wouldn’t have been a bad thing either.

    Ray, 

    What white collar crime are you referring to? The bank bailouts? That was the government. They even forced many healthy banks to take TARP money so there wouldn’t be a run on the bad ones. By the way, the banks paid that money back plus interest. Are you blaming Wall Street for the sub-prime bubble? Frannie Mae and Freddie Mac, government entities that Democrats love, originated 70% of the sub-prime loans. Why aren’t you protesting the White House and Democrats in Congress?  Oh that’s right…because you are tools for for Obama’s re-election. You’ll disappear after the elections, just like you guys gave up your war protests after Obama became responsible for them.

    From an employer’s standpoint:  there are no people without profit.  If you don’t get that concept, then your education failed you.  Also, oh-by-the-way, employers really hate people unwilling to overcome obstacles because everything is somebody else’s fault.

  • Sam

    Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man.  Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded – here and there, now and then – are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people.  Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or as sometimes happens, is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
    This is known as “bad luck”.

    HLB,

     I hate to break it to, but your self-centered generation is not the first to graduate into a tough job market. Lots of college grades in the early 80′s had to settle for low paying jobs until the economy improved. Did it suck? Yes. Did they throw a temper tantrum and riot? No. They took the low paying entry-level jobs, sometimes not even in their field, and they worked their way up. If $10 an hour is what’s available then you take it until something better comes along. Crying in the park isn’t going to get you anywhere.

    By the way, Wall Street didn’t do anything to you.  Politicians mucking up the markets by social engineering led to the sub-prime mess. Your liberal heroes in Congress believe just like you that “people are more important than profits”. They forced lenders to give mortgages to people who obviously had no way of repaying them, in the name of social justice. As a matter of fact, 70% of the sub-prime loans originated with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, two quasi – government agencies liberals just love. I bet you and your unemployed friends voted for “change” in 2008. Well congratulation, perpetual 9% unemployment, is the change you brought.

    And we should take news tips from someone who parrots MSDNC? And as to the protestors, no, they’re public union flunkies looking to protect artificially inflated wages and pensions on the back of taxpayers. And they should be protesting Democratic theft of national treasure via FannieMae and FreddieMac, through the efforts of Chris Dodd and Barney Frank.

    The main problem with the Occupy protesters is that they want to be paid at the entry level what people with ten years of experience get paid without having to pay for anything to prove they can do just as well as the person who has been in the field for ten years.

    All you heard about the last several years was kids with a bachelor’s degree wanting to start at a job for $60K per year. A person who does not feel like they should have to prove themselves in their career before expecting compensation at the level of an experienced person is either dreaming, selfish, or delusional – or maybe a mixture of the three.

    Some of these people couldn’t handle the responsibility of working for McDonalds. Since most of the young haven’t been raised to work at a job where performance is expected to exceed the mediocre, they are not ready for a real job with a real paycheck.

    It is not just the young that are this way though, some of their parents are the same way, and it is no big secret. These are the people who raised a lot of these dreamers who want to make $60K right out of school.

    Real work requires drive to get things done, ambition to exceed average performance, dedication to be available to work whenever the job or employer needs them, ability to do the job as well as it can humanly be done, a personable nature to convey a sincere level of care that the customer’s needs are met, and many other things that you don’t learn in college.

    If you want to improve your quality of life, work for it. No one is going to bestow a fortune on you because you will throw a tantrum for months, or because you think of yourself as a “good person” – you have to prove you deserve what you want in this life. Sorry if you find this too difficult to deal with, but that is the way things are in the real world.

    The thing speaks for itself.

    So damn what? Why did little Janie have to take $100,000 in loans to attend Brown or Bryn Mawr to get a teaching degree, when she could have lived with Mom and Dad and gotten the same degree at the local State U, with little to no loans? Same job, same pay, same degree. Why should we be stuck paying for her wants and bad decision?

    You know, it is possible to find out, before saddling yourself with life-crippling loans, what your potential earnings will be in your chosen field? They’re called Guidance Counsellors. Every high school has them. But, no, little Janie or little Bobby has to go to the elite school, has to have the debt. What do you mean, stay out a year, work at McD’s and save your money for tuition? Why bother when you can get a loan?

    Sorry, Me, but two of my four managed to make it through college without taking a single loan. We learned it the hard way, as our oldest DID make the mistake of taking out loans. Had to go the bankruptcy route, but he and his wife are doing fine, now, thank you.

    Drea,

     Funny you omitted this part of the Bible;

    “thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.”

    Also, how did your father lose everything in the stock market? Yes the Dow went down to 6000, but it has come back up quite a bit. So how did he lose everything? Also how did he lose his job? You said you cleaned HIS dental office when you were 12 years old. So how did he lose his job at HIS dental office? If his business went under, then why? If his business did go under then why is he trying to open up a new one? If he lost everything in the stock market, where is he getting the funds to open a new office?You want people to “listen to real people stories” so I’m listening, but your story has a lot of holes that need to be filled in.

    Rather than write a whole new response to this common right-wing false accusation I’ll just post a response I wrote to a similar post directed at me the other day …..

    Bla bla bla I just retired 1 month ago at age 66.  I started working at age 12.

    You’re right that I didn’t make a lot of money but then I chose a profession of service rather than one to get “ahead” ….   I cared for the elderly, disabled and the dying. It’s not highly valued in our society, for sure, except by the people you care for and their families, that is.  Well worth it in my opinion, but probably not in yours. So be it.

    Thanks for the insight into who you are too.  Much appreciated.  Do you have anything else you’d like to say to me?

    *****************************************

    And you want me to trust this story to be accurate? The source is a gossip rag online. Please.

    Is this what you learned in your education? You started working at age 12? What?!? Where in the USA did you get a real job at age 12? That violates child labor laws, and you are not old enough to have lived long enough ago to have worked at 12 when it was not illegal.

    Don’t include when you did babysitting or household chores, that is part of growing up in a family and doesn’t count as working at a real paid job. Do you wonder why you are told you have zero credibility?

    It was you who went back and forth with me on the OWS not wanting to report crimes against protesters to the police, wasn’t it? In most cities in the USA having knowledge of a crime and failing to report it is a violation of the law. You probably still don’t comprehend that, but it isn’t changing to meet your twisted version of reality.

    Wrong on so many things it is impossible to keep track of it all – yes, that’s progressive_kitty. Eternally stuck on stupid, the archetypal epoxymoron.

    HLB: Your greed is no different than that of anyone on Wall Street, with the exception that you lack the drive and initiative to actually satisfy it. You say you want people to be more important than profit, and yet all you seem to be interested in is making a profit – e.g. finding work for yourself.

    As for the “countless interviews” you’ve been on, that’s a little confusing – after all, each interview is an opportunity to land a job. I’d have to say that if you’ve been on “countless” interviews without landing a single job, it sounds like you’re either to lazy to learn how to interview properly, or you’re too stupid to learn from your mistakes – it’s one of the two, because if you’ve been lucky enough to land interviews, and you’ve blown every single one, then it ain’t derivatives traders on Wall Street who are messing your life up, it’s you.

    OWS is not anti capitalist and against private property, they are against the corporate oligarchy that taken over our government. The revolving door between wall street and the treasury and SEC is corrupt. The revoliving door between congress and lobbying firms is corrupt and destroying democracy.

    But now the story about OWS is that Michel Moore is rich and fat, and that the peole who produce nothing and make money on speculating food futures are the righteous ones with their job applications from the sky. Could any of those people even live off the wages that McDolands pays? How much money is left after taxes for working 36 hours ( you know part time with no benefits) a week at a fast food job.

    is not about everybody having some subsistence wage employment
    available, but rather finding a fair distribution of our society’s
    income (http://westandwiththe99percent.tumblr.com/).  The 99% percent
    have not sent lobbyists to Congress to create a set of rules
    specifically designed to favor them.  You see, Americans have always

    You’re a good example of the problem we have with people today. You have two kids, and a sick mother, and yet you’re out here on the internet railing against Christians instead of taking care of your family. The next time you do get a “great paying job,” if ever, try learning from this experience – cut your costs, save money, and be ready for the storm instead of being blown out to sea.

    If you’re making $2K a month and it only covers your rent and car – you need to get rid of the car, and move to a cheaper home. But, you are a great example of the problem we have with people in this country – $2K a month makes you rich in a lot of parts of this country, yet instead of counting your blessings, looking on the bright side, and figuring out how you can turn the situation around, you’re here on the internet railing about Christians. If I had two kids to take care of, I sure as hell wouldn’t be spending time on the internet.

    Ok, sure – there are a lot of privileged people who were born into wealth and spend their lives cheating and stealing from everyone around them in a crass attempt to gain even more wealth and power, but those are usually politicians – and, of course, the three wealthiest ones are lefties, so I really don’t think we’ll hear much from you about them, LOL.

    Tell me about hard when someone is firing an RPG at you and misses, but hits the person next to you and sprays him all over you. Tell me about hard when you live in a bunker that gets shelled almost every night for a year. Tell me about hard when you can hear the impacts of 12.7mm machine gun bullets on the outside of where you sleep, off and on, day and night for a year. Don’t give me that I worked for 54 years since I was 12 stuff. I volunteered for service during the Vietnam War, seen more ugly than you could possibly imagine, and worked in hospitals and ERs for ten years after my tour. One of those hospitals was Walter Reed, taking care of veterans who only had the use of half or one quarter of their body, had burns over 60 percent of their bodies, couldn’t see or hear or communicate because half of their face was gone.

    I still take my father-in-law, an 87 year old WW II Navy vet to the VA for his appointments – he got blown out of an AA gun tub by a Japanese bomb dropped on his ship near the Philippines in 1944. The man has not been able to hear out of one ear since then, has less than 10% hearing in the other, has continual equilibrium problems, and he does not feel pain because of the concussion damage to his brain from being blown out of the gun tub and landing on the deck 15 feet below.

    I don’t have time to listen to you try to glorify yourself with tales here for everyone to read, or when you try to twist my words to suit your feeble case in support of these protesters.

    You think you know hard. Don’t even go there.

    You are the one who speaks from ignorance. Like when you defended the organizers who wanted to silence the victims of crimes at the OWS protest camps so only their message gets out to the press. They were not interested in the least in the suffering of the victims, they just wanted to control the spin.

    You wake the hell up, lady, you may be 66, but you don’t know what the hell you are talking about. Everything from you is one more anti conservative left wing talking point after another. I don’t care if you are or were a union worker, you do not have the power to tell me what to do or where to do it.

    I saw a video where a group passed out applications for all sorts of employers.  The OWS refrain was, “I couldn’t feed my family on that.”  I wish I would have been there to point out that:

    1. Yes, you could, if you bought basic low-cost foods.  You might not be able to eat out all the time and wear the same clothes and such, but you wouldn’t starve.  You could buy a lot of pasta, oatmeal, bread, eggs, milk, fruit, etc. on a low cost budget.  Oh, you don’t like to eat those all the time?  Tough.  The real “99%” (the poor of the world) would envy you.

    2. They don’t finish the sentence: “I couldn’t feed my family on that . . . so I’m not going to work and I’m going to bully the government into forcing others to feed me whatever I like.”

    You assume much and know little. OWS is a poorly organized bunch of spoiled children having a two month long tantrum about the fact that they are not lauded with rose petals and a wheel barrow full of cash as soon as they graduate from college. Oh, for shame they should have to work and build a reputation for personal integrity and hard work before they can buy a house or that BMW.

    Nice commie inspired avatar, by the way. Perfect for a unionist like you. Organize the Proletariat! Down with the bourgeoisie! Eat the rich! Kill the old people so we can take their stuff! Yeah!

    Sorry, Ann, but 14K a year allows me to live comfortably if not extravagantly and there is room in my living standard to cut back if I had to.  You’re crying to the wrong person.

    If the government would return my payroll taxesthat I’ve paid in, I would be happy to opt out of social security and medicare when or if I retire. They can even keep the employer’s contribution, even though a significant part of that would have been in my paycheck if they didn’t have to fork it over to the IRS. But to say that people who have had no choice but to pay into the system for their entire working life shouldn’t recoup some of that money when they retire is utter bullshit. Also, the government can’t keep spending more than it takes in. What kind of fool doesn’t get that?

    I can’t tell you how often I’ve seen women with children using food stamps buying instant grits and oatmeal in single serving packages or single serving Hot Coco packages when you can make a huge container of it with powdered milk, Nestle Quick and a few other ingredients for a small fraction of the cost and better tasting.  People seem to have lost the drive to do things more economically if it takes time and effort.

    You really are a toy commie aren’t you? The NVA had artillery too, and we got our share of that, but you wouldn’t know a damned thing about that would you?

    The defoliant spraying was not as widespread as you think it was, and your knowledge of the real time on the ground stuff that went on there is straight from Oliver Stone isn’t it? You don’t know a damned thing about the war because you were not born yet, and it is apparent your have had your indoctrination.

    Do you know anything about that war, or are you spouting off with a bunch of stuff to sound like a real expert?

    The main use of bombing in Vietnam was on the NVA supply line known as the Ho Chi Minh trail. No large bombing missions were undertaken on targets that were not military in nature, but with free fall bombs there will always be some unintended deaths. It was a war, and when the combatants are located near civilian occupied areas, unless your side evacuated them they were bound to be in trouble.

    You brought up Phoenix, so here you go – enjoy reading how wrong you are and an explanation of how you and your communist sympathizing friends spin this into some sort of evil program:

    The Phoenix Program (Vietnamese: Chiến dịch Phụng Hoàng, a word related to fenghuang, the Chinese phoenix) was a controversial counterinsurgency program designed, coordinated, and executed by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), United States special operations forces, and the Republic of Vietnam’s (South Vietnam) security apparatus during the Vietnam War that operated between 1967 and 1972.[1]

    The Program was designed to identify the Viet Cong Infrastructure (VCI) supporting the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam (NLF), more commonly referred to as the Vietcong (VC) and neutralize it through capture, coercion or killing its members. Phoenix Program operation were carried out by the South Vietnam’s National Police, National Police Field Force, Special Police Branch, U.S. and Vietnamese conventional armed forces; and by what became known as the Provincial Reconnaissance Units, or PRU’s.[1][2] In later years, US Army intelligence Phoenix advisors were trained at the Ft. Bragg Institute for Military Assistance and assigned throughout Vietnam. By 1972, Phoenix operatives had neutralized 81,740 suspected NLF supporters, of whom 26,369 were killed.[1]

    Results of the program’s effectiveness remain debated to this day however it is generally viewed by both US Military and former North Vietnamese officials as being the most productive counterinsurgency operation of the conflict and dealt a serious blow to the Viet Cong and the VCI.[2][3] The Phoenix Program was widely criticized by opponents of the conflict who called it little more than an “assassination program” utilizing “indiscriminate brutality” and a violation of international law. Much of the critical characterization arose from the classified nature of the program coupled with anecdotal, unsubstantiated, or false information relayed to the media and critical scholars about Phoenix.

    The last part of that article applies to your failed attempt and revising history.

    I never said the NVA or VC were not effective combatants, but you trying to portray them as some kind of avenging force is not an accurate representation of what the war was like on the ground. They were invading the south and it was against the south’s will to be under the control of the north. Vietnam was a lot of things, but it was not an idyllic place where the water buffalo trod the rice paddies and there was peace and harmony in the areas between hanoi and saigon as you seem to suggest.

    What did I accomplish? I monitored radio traffic on the Ho Chi Minh trail, from Phu Bai, and I accomplished my mission and came home without a scratch.

    Are you proud of what you have done here? Did you accomplish anything besides making a jackass of yourself?

    You failed and you know it.

    when big businesses are proving the money to fund your leviathan government that can stay afloat while collecting zero dollars from half the population, they do expect something in return… all wall street fat cats are big time liberals as they have to work and live in a highly liberal city that regularly sends 2 democrat senators… one of whom is almost always in the banking and financial committee in the senate.. and yes they are bought and paid for by wall street.

    What do you want, a medal or something? Not everyone who has gotten a degree is employable. There are no guarantees, but some people think you get out of college and the world is laid before you by the gods. That isn’t going to happen, so stop expecting life to suddenly be fair or better because you have spent time, effort and money on getting an education.

    Everyone who has been where you are before has had to start at the bottom, and work their way up. I don’t care what your academic advisers told you, it takes hard work and dedication for a long time to build a career. There are no freebies, no gimmes, no discounts, no free anything – we all had to work hard and so will you if you expect to have a good and prosperous life.

    There are lots of highly skilled people with graduate degrees out on the street looking for work nowdays because the economy has not recovered. That is just the way it is. It stinks, but be patient and work hard so you will deserve it when you do get that job that you want.

    You’re lumping a lot of Americans together unfairly. There may be the usual ”unwashed hippies” protesting, but there’s also a lot of frustrated Americans protesting. Americans who’ve lost their homes or jobs. Americans who cannot find a job that pays a decent enough wage to support thier families. Americans who through foreclosure are now living in tent “cities” for lack of proper shelter/housing. 

    A lot of Americans are at wits end. They’re fed up with the system the way it is. The US has become a country of haves or have nots, there’s not much in-between anymore. The sad part of it is, there’s too many ”haves” who take great pleasure in shoving it in the faces of the have nots.  This latest macdonalds application incident, being a prime example.

     As long as this kind of idiotic mentality continues, the country will never see the end of the OWs protests.

    I have to say it amuses me that you are screaming about the possible collapse of the economy while at the same time doing everything in your power to cause it.  Companies aren’t demanding every increasing profits, that’s a flat out lie!  It is workers, union workers, who are demanding every increasing wages and benefits while working less and less.  Why do you think every heavily unionized industry such as automobiles, steel etc. has either gone out of business or is on the verge of bankruptcy…oops that’s right, Obama bailed out some of his union buddies at the expense of the taxpayer and the individual stockholders at GM.  You know, those individual stockholders, like those in the middle class with 401Ks and mutual funds.

    Additionally, you idiots supporting the Occupiers scream about the banks, and yet the banks repaid ALL of the TARP money with an additional $4 billion in interest to the Fed. Gov.

    You are truly brain washed and are either too stupid to remedy your lack of knowlege or too lazy.

    Look up everything I said.  It’s true.  Look up everything the previous commenters have said.  It’s all true. And I don’t mean your pravda west opinion pieces, look up the actual data!  What’s wrong with this country is not business!  What’s wrong with this country is entitlements!  Look at the balance sheet of the Fed. Gov!  Look at the over $100 trillion in unfunded entitlement payments coming at us in the future…  It is you and people like you that are killing this country and yet you have the audacity to scream about its coming death.  While the rest of the western democracies are trying desperately to dig their way out of the socialist quagmire, you morons want this country to dive in headfirst.

    Did you know that if the entire net worth of the top 200 of the Forbes Wealthiest Americans list was converted into dollars and equally distributed amongst us all, it would come to about $13,867 per person.  Of course, many businesses would close their doors due to loss of working capital and the employees of those business would lose their jobs, as well as wiping out much of the savings of the middle class due to stock market losses etc. etc. (sound familiar?), but you would get your $13,867 dollars. 

    So, you and the other socialist morons get your wish.  You have spread not wealth, but misery.  How long is that $13,867 dollars going to last?  Not long….  And then, who do you go after next?  Because you will go after someone. History has demonstrated that people like you never learn, they are too in love with their own stupidity.  Too caught up in self-righteous propaganda to ever realize that result is far more important than intent.  And quite frankly your intent isn’t good either.  No more than is the intent of a parasite attaching itself to a host.

    Dear Me, are you looking for a significant other to pool resources with?  ;)

    I really think that part of the problem is that too many young people don’t have a clue of the real value of things and how you can spend much less while consuming just as much.  They don’t seem to realize that the more finished and ready for immediate consumption a food is the higher to a significant degree the cost will be.

    I simply manage my home and life just as I did when we had a family and not as big an income as we needed.  Even when we moved up I never changed that aspect of my behavior.  Private schools are a huge drain on financial resources that have to be found in economies if your income doesn’t quite reach that far.

    I suspect that many of those bemoaning their sad plight still continue to live much as they did when at home or while better employed then now.  Sad really.

    There really isn’t much difference between progressives, fascists, nazis, communists and socialists. They may have different justifications and objectives, but they all use the power of the government to enforce their will on the citizens. They all are just variations of tyranny.

    Our country is based on individualism and individual freedom and our constitution was written to prevent those in power from using it to oppress the people. Individual freedom and individualism antithetical to the progressives and that is why they speak of it as a “living breathing document”. They can’t establish tyranny if they have to live within the constraints of the constitution. So they just “interpret” it to allow them to achieve their goals.

    Obama has a unique record of failure rivaled only by Jimmy Carter and Lyndon Johnson and an ever larger number of people are starting to realize it. He can’t run on his record. The only chance he has of winning is to destroy the opposition like 60 minutes tried to do to Bush and to find something to blame his failures on. That is why he and Soros created the Occupy movement. It’s not Obama’s fault, it’s the 1% who did it. Just as the Nazis used the Jews, Obama is using the 1% and capitalism to maintain his power.

    It’s the progressive fascist who are responsible. It was their policies that changed the laws to allow, no force the banks to make loans without regard to ability to pay. They cried that everyone had the right to own a home. That it was the fault of racist white bankers discriminating against the poor and minorities that  prevented this realization of the American dream. It was liberal politicians, including Bill Clinton, Chris Dodd and Barney Franks, who changed the laws and forced banks to lend to unqualified home purchasers.

    More lectures on the “welfare state,” which conveniently ignores the massive corporate welfare which sees enormous companies like GE paying zilch in federal income tax, despite making tens of billions in profits.  Also, the largest government handout in human history?  Hundreds of billions in taxpayer money to “save” those genius Wall Street banks from collapsing.  Yet that doesn’t stop you and other wall street apologists from lecturing everyone about “personal responsibility” and “hypocrisy.”  Amazing lack of self-awareness.

    Sarpedon1:

    Let me get this straight, we are supposed to be happy that the banks repaid the TARP loans?  FYI, they haven’t fully paid them.  That’s a myth.  But let’s explore that concept anyway.  

    The banks committed fraud on a MASSIVE SCALE, which sunk the world economy, caused tens of millions to lose their financial security, wreaked havoc on the housing market, caused skyrocketing unemployment worldwide.  This is a fact.  So, what happened?  Did they go to jail for this catastrophic fraud?  No.  They were given an enormous zero% interest loan, funded by the taxpayer, to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars.  They used this money to further enrich themselves.  Now, if they pay back the loans, while making tens of billions in profits from those same loans, while tens of millions of their fellow citizens continue to suffer, we are supposed to be satisfied?  Really?  Is that your ridiculous position?

    Zero. None. What you describe has not happened. Turn off Fox and talk radio, learn to read, listen and thing on your own. It won’t hurt, I promise.

    And, not for nothing, it’s kinda not very bright to call a self-proclaimed progressive, a “commie”. You must like Beck, being that you don’t know the difference. He sure likes to dumb-down his viewers.

    Agreed with your first 2 paragraphs and then you went off on your own favorite conspiracy theory. 
    I’m not at all happy with Obama’s performance, but I see him as the front guy for the 1% like all the others (with his particular twist and selling points).  Right and left are pretty much the same and I don’t favor either.  Cumulatively they’ve helped destroy our rights, steal what we’ve earned and taken huge steps toward trying to control the world by war, manipulating the flow of oil, usurping government leaders (even democratically elected), and sanctioning non-complying countries into abject poverty.

    “Unwashed hippies”…. gee, wonder where you get your information from. Could it be Fox, or talk radio, Rush Limpdick maybe? Or Henn Pecker? Yawn Nana-ty? Shark le Mean? Mann Coulter? (Nah, I know their real names, I’m just doing what they like to do, to appeal to the feeble-minded, their version of ‘clever’).

    I suppose that George Washington took time off from his high paying job to fight our revolution back in the day, had daily showers and new clean clothes, freshly pressed, every day. Wonder what kind of deodorant he used to smell so fresh? Good thing he had porta-sans everywhere they went so they didn’t sully the environment with their body waste. They were way too civilized to piss in the woods.

    Get a clue, these “kids” are intelligent, well-educated, often from upper middle class families and very, very committed to reversing the destructive corporatization of America. They are fighting for their futures, their generation and their country. And, if you ever took the time to tear yourself away from the right wing propagandists you so admire, made a trip to an Occupy near you, and talked to these young people (or the old, or middle aged people) that you find there, you would be shocked. They are very articulate. They have in their numbers libertarians, conservatives, as well as liberals, anarchists, democratic socialists (it would be smart for you to learn just what these terms mean) that you so love to denigrate. And, since you’re a t-bagger you may not spot it, but their signs are spelled correctly and make sense.

    It’s not often that you find lazy scum losers building a community from nothing, complete with food preparation, a ‘comfort tent’ for donated clothing and other needs, shelter, medical care, a library, a cleaning crew, a financial manager and various other services. All the while they are braving the cold, resisting the police peacefully, going to jail anyway, bouncing back from attempts by the powers that be to freeze them out. Never in a million years would you see t-partiers enduring and persisting under those conditions. Nor would you see them being so creative as they young folks. They are now pedaling bicycle generators 24 hrs a day, for their heat and power, since the gasoline ones were taken away by the cops. Yup, those lazy bums are cycling their way to warmth and energy. Nope, you’d never catch a t-bagger going to all that trouble and sacrifice to make a point. They need to go home every day to their creature comforts, after sipping beers and picnicking all day, while they lounged in their portable chairs and waved their little flags.

    I guess that’s why the right is so scared of the unwashed hippies.

    Meh, Brad is just a-scared. It’s easier to hate blindly than to think. Now these unwashed hippies are gonna force him to think for himself ’cause he’ll have to figure out why there are more of them (us) than there are of the baggers. O-o-o-o, scary.

    Yeah, the king of crony, who merely kept on all the guys from the previous admin. Ri-i-i-ight, it all started with him. Like, he crashed the economy and bailed out the banks all by himself. And he devalued homes in the process. Yeah, everything was just peachy-keen until Obama came along.

    You are a condescending, self-righteous, unmitigated jackass. You have no idea what is going on in the world, do you? I’m 67 and unemployed. I’ve got 50+ years of experience.

    How about the $500+ million Obama gave to his campaign contributors? It was obvious that Solyndra was going to die and that is why no one else including Bush wanted to give them money. Obama had to pay back his supporters and it cost all of us a lot of money. Then he broke the law subordinating the Solyndra debt to other investors. This crime deserves impeachment.

    What about illegally selling guns to the gangsters in Mexico? Supposable it was done to arrest some criminals, but 2500+ guns were sold, no effort was made to track them and no one was arrested until these guns were used to kill a border patrol agent and F&F came out of the bag. Was it to raise money for Obamas election in 2012 or to press for new gun control laws, i.e.  ”Obama: We’re Working on Gun Control ‘Under the Radar’. No matter what the reason this was a crime worthy of impeachment.

    First of all, you made that up. Secondly, in the event it were true, (s)he could indeed not feed a family on the salaries being offered today. We live in America, with the American cost of living, but they want us to work for China salaries. And you, Neil, have not a clue as to what you are talking about. No one is saying “I refuse to work for that”, we are saying we cannot afford to work for that. We don’t want handouts, we want jobs that pay a living wage. You know, the kind you apparently have. Read the signs at the Occupy sites, they all are demanding jobs. The so-called job creators are not creating jobs. They want to push us into living like the other 3rd world countries so they can amass even greater wealth.  Really, get your head out of the sand. I know that right-wingers are not big on empathy, but try to put yourself in the shoes of others before you go about pontificating. There are only 24 hours in a day, and there is a shortage of jobs to begin with. It’s unlikely that we can hold down 3 jobs a day because (a) there are not 3 jobs per person available and (b) even slaves have to sleep sometime.

     Has it occurred to you “Grammie” that the women may have jobs that occupy their time all day and still don’t earn enough to get away from food stamps? Maybe the kids are in school and carry lunches comprised of the ‘individual’ packets so they can prepare it themselves? It’s easy to sit in judgment of others when you have no idea of their circumstances. When did our great country become a place filled with judgmental, self-righteous, condescending people, instead of caring and kind people? When money became God, and when Beck, Limbaugh, et al started filling the heads and hearts with hate, that’s when!

    Many of the really hard workers in this country with skills, education and experience have lost their jobs to overseas workers making 1/4 or less their American counter-parts salary.  The rest of the money is going to CEO’s and shareholders who contribute nothing to companies!

    Do you think the protesters are not littering? Not that defecating on a police car is littering….BTW, there are over 100 McDonalds locations in the Chicagoland area, so it’s likely one or two may be hiring. Whether any of these deadbeats are employable, however, is another question.

    No one is going to defend Wall Street (except possibly Obama who is metaphorically in bed with them). However one can not plausibly blame Wall Street and the CBOT without rebuking our incompetent and corrupt Congress who paved the way for this. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, anyone?

    Are you a qualified professional? I don’t think you are even familiar with PTSD, it’s just an acronym to use when you don’t like what someone has to say.

    First, I did not address any remark to you before now.
    Second, I did not ask for your unqualified opinion.
    Third, you don’t seem to have any idea what you think because you “liked” a comment I left that had a lot more detail in it than anyone suffering from PTSD would write in a public forum like this.
    Fourth, this is a clever tactic you liberals use to steer the discussion from the subject when you have nothing relevant to contribute.

    You need to reconsider your career choice of remote psychology, frankly, you are not good at this.

    Who is talking to you? You are in no position to start telling me what to do. It is apparent you are a liberal or progressive and you resent the connection to communism. Sorry, but if the shoe fits…

    The day my comment was written, she had a different avatar, which I am sure you saw but chose to ignore, and it was designed to resemble the communist iconography of the former USSR – that was not a coincidence. Be that as it may, you are not qualified to judge me or anyone else for that matter due to the brain damage you obviously suffer from after being subjected to way too many hours of MSNBC.

    I don’t believe I will do as you say, mainly because it is nonsense. “Zero. None. What you describe has not happened. Turn off Fox and talk radio, learn to read, listen and thing on your own.” I won’t ask you how to “thing”, I am sure only a person such as yourself knows what that even means.

    For the record, the Occupy Oakland protesters have been assaulting the police with rocks and bottles in the past week and that is documented fact.

    You’ve made a lot of assumptions about my long life and what my circumstances have been..

    Did it occur to you that I worked outside the home while being married with children.  Did it occur to you that during my life I’ve had some times that were very hard due to unemployment and sickness.  We survived.  The one thing we didn’t do was riot and blame everyone else for our situation.

    You obviously don’t have a realistic idea of schools today.  Any family on food stamps, even families with incomes too high to qualify, will have not only free lunches but free breakfasts.  And I guarantee you that grade school children are not cooking instant grits/oatmeal for lunch.

    The point is that it is hypocritical to complain of not having an adequate income to feed your family while continuing to buy highly processed and already prepared food that is multiple times more expensive than the same food that your labor brings to the table for far less.

I mean, I know that FOX is the left’s knee-jerk bogeyman, but there are literally more lefties who talk about FOX News in comment sections than there are people – right or left – who actually watch the channel.

    While you sound like too much of a gimp for McDonald’s work, you’re probably too much of a gimp to have been standing outside protesting either. The people who were actually out there, however, are perfect McDonald’s job candidates. They’d just need a week or two of orientation to make sure they don’t put their hands in the deep fryer.

    Businesses don’t pay income taxes. They merely pass them on to others in the form of higher prices to the consumer (you) or in the form of reduced dividends to the shareholders (your 401-K or Pension)
    Go ahead, demand higher corporate income taxes but keep in mnd that you’ll be paying thm one way or another.

    @google-8e0aa80a36b32cb3cabfedaeccec9c1c:disqus According to the IRS, businesses do have to pay federal income taxes: http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=98966,00.html    Furthermore, it’s not that *every* company doesn’t pay taxes.  It’s that *some* very profitable ones have figured out how to avoid it.  There are plenty of companies paying…

    @1676ecf77e66e4bf2cca5bbed79361a7:disqus So, I take issue with a few of your statements: (1) your statement that CEOs pay income taxes.  Sure they do, but since so much of their income is bound to be long term capital gains based, they pay a much lower overall percentage of their income as taxes.  That is the point Warren Buffet keeps bringing up when he argues against the current system of having such low taxes on the ultra-wealthy: he pays a lower percentage of his income towards taxes than his common employees do.  There should certainly be an inflation-adjusted cap on how much money you can claim as long-term capital gains each year.   (2) I’m not saying the taxes on corporate income should be higher.  I’m saying they should be enforced at their current levels by removing the loopholes (whatever those are, I admit my ignorance here).

    Finally, both of your responses have the flavor of “a corporation is special, they are not an individual, they should not be taxed as such”.  Well, if that’s really the case then why is the Supreme Court arriving at decisions that allow corporations to act as an individual with respect to campaign donations?  Sounds like corporations are all for those rights that grant them the ability to buy our government, but aren’t quite as keen on being considered individuals when it comes to taxation.

    Yup, condescending jackass. I have marched, I have slept out on pavement, and I will continue to do so. It’s much easier to drag a walker to a march than to an office. Bigots like you don’t want to acknowledge that there are handicapped people, let alone hire them. Besides, while marching, I can sit if I need to, not so at MIckey D’s. I will keep marching until the America I used to know is reclaimed. There was a time when workers got a piece of the pie they helped to create. Now, with the destruction of unions, the so-called job-creators are back to abusing the workers just as they did before the unions. And, just to be clear, I have been a business owner and I never treated my employees like people are being treated today. One more point, those ‘kids’ you like to denigrate have more brains and knowledge in their pinky fingers than you apparently have in your whole body. Most have advanced degrees and the debt to prove it. [I suppose you'd bitch, too, if they are unable to pay their education loans from a Mickey D salary.] They have created an entire self-sustaining village in an ever-resourceful and creative way. I’d like to see the t-baggers being that determined and resourceful.

    Since most everything available is made outside the USA, what else can we buy? American corporations don’t believe in America, won’t hire American workers and won’t pay American taxes. So, what makes them American corporations in the first place? A charter? A simple piece of paper? Certainly not any loyalty to the country. I’m sure that they retain their American charters for a reason: could it be the special tax treatment they get here for taking their businesses out of the country?

    Actually, I did save, and I invested, and I bought property, and I was set for retirement. But then, the housing market crashed 2 years after my retirement. The properties and investments that were supposed to carry me thru reduced in value, life savings got gobbled up by the real estate that now had to be carried because the rental market also shrunk. I have no intention of “robbing the next generation”, that’s why I’ve gone back to work to try to bolster the Social Security I paid for all of my life, asshole.

    Abiss (which is probably really intended to be abyss, but you can’t spell), you may not have gotten the memo, but there is a shortage of jobs. I realize that if you can’t spell, but I thought you could possibly read: there are no jobs available regardless of educational level. AND my whole point about the OWS is that they are working to make their own way. They are not living off of your imagined hard work. You can get unemployment benefits (which, in reality, could onluy be a result of their own hard work) until you have worked for a length of time. Wow, you really don’t get how things work, do you?

    As for you, Googie (sheesh, what an inmature name, are you 12?), I was a white collar professional my entire 50+ years of working. Tell me, if you’re so sure there are jobs for we white collar types, why don’t you point me in the direction of one. Oh, you can’t, can you?

    What ” really hard workers” with “skills, education and experience”?  Seriously.  Our skilled labour is severely deficient in this country.  The average age of a skilled labourer in this country is 55 and getting older.  The big joke, as I see it, is this entire protest is by people with 4 year degrees crying because companies are sending job overseas, but the jobs that are getting sent, they AREN’T QUALIFIED TO DO ANYWAY because they require 2 year technical degrees in things like machining, heavy equipment operation, and robotics… things that 4 year schools don’t teach!  The manufacturing companies that do still do business in the US can’t fully staff themselves as it is.  That’s the issue though.  It’s white collar people crying that other white collar people have white collar jobs and they don’t.  Thats the fight… and it has nothing to do with me… or a majority of the real 99% of Americans.  As much as they say otherwise (because, frankly, they’d be stupid to tell the truth on this), they don’t want blue collar jobs.  Its beneith them.  They want a cushy desk job with a corner office and a fat paycheck that they consider worthy of their higher education.  Sour grapes… nothing more.  Get an education in electrical, plumbing, maching, construction management, paramedicine, and on and on and on… and then tell me about the lack of jobs.  I have friends who are making serious bank right now because 1) they are one of the few young people in the US with an actual marketable labour skill and 2) they moved to where the jobs are.  I’ll ask the friends of mine that are out throwing up housing and trucking materials around North Dakota what they think of the current job situation.  Considering they are contracted 3 years in advance at the moment, I have a feeling the outlook is going to be good.  Keep your protest.  I’m busy doing actual work.

    How about the Occupiers get a grip on the term ‘Globalization’, and what it really means. ‘Exporting’ US jobs overseas? C’mon, one of those jobs in the US feeds 3 generations of one family in developing countries. Also, lament the downfall of the US as a world goods exporter all you want – it changes nothing. The US is moving towards exporting education, and highly technical products such as pharmaceuticals, biomedical, IT hardware and software, etc. that require highly specialized education and training to produce.

    Even China is growing sick of being the world’s factory.

    Moral of the story = you live in a global community now. The products and services used by developed economies are going to be delivered by those companies and countries who can effectively straddle the divide between quality & price. Ecuador or Vietnam, Philippines or Ukraine – so long as it makes sense to buy it, then people and countries and companies will.

    Welcome to the Global State. Your polarizing, nationalist, pro-union, vapid lamentations are drowned out by the sound of progress worldwide.

    As for the banks getting massive payouts from the government – I absolutely agree that this ‘Too Big To Fail’ environment is wrong. Something should be done about it….

    Except – ‘Occupying Wall Street’ is only misdirected angst / anger. Don’t hate the player – hate the game. Actually, hate those responsible for making and enforcing the rules of the game – the elected officials in the US and State Governments.

    Get out and vote. Get off the street. Pick up your tent. Stop vilifying people trying to make a living according to the rules laid out for them. And start holding your democratically elected officials accountable. And if you have a problem with the election system that will serve as
    your dismissive excuse – unfair, votes don’t count, whatever – then STFU
    and go live someplace else.

    Drop the hyperbole. Offer some constructive criticism – perhaps some rational, well-thought-out plans to change things for the better.

    At this point, Occupiers, you’re not advocating for anything – you’re just bitching & moaning.

    Conzentric,

     A large portion of the “household wealth” lost in 2008 was from falling home values. Since those values were inflated by the bubble created by subprime loans from Fannie and Freddie in the first place, a fair amount of the loss was a market correction.

    If those derivatives (as we “smart guys” spell it)  were fraudulent and illegal, then why hasn’t the Obama Justice Department gone after anyone. That would be because no laws were broken. Of course your hero, President Obama was the largest single recipient of Fannie Mae campaign contributions, so he apparently approves of the tactics of lending to those who can’t afford to pay.

    By the way, the banks may have bundled and sold the bad loans, but Fannie, Freddie, and Democrats in Congress are the ones who pushed for the bad loans in the first place with the Community Reinvestment Act, and by pressuring private banks to increase lending to the poor.

     Even if the derivatives weren’t bundled and sold, the American tax payers would still have been on the hook for the losses incurred by the sub-prime loans because Fannie and Freddie are GSE’s. For the most part, the banks that were bailed out (I agree…they never should have been bailed out), have repaid the loans with interest. When are the tax payers going to be repaid for the billions and billions we’ve lost in bailouts for Fannie and Freddie? Never. As a matter of fact, Freddie is asking for 6 billion more right now. Maybe you should do some research, smart guy.

    If somehow a corporation paid no income tax, it is often because they didn’t make a profit, or they put money into expanding a product line or creating new manufacturing facility or anyone of many reasons. The economic ignorance inherent in your statement is typical. You appear to think that if Megacorp XXX paid no income tax on profits that they paid none at all.  They paid tax on the property they own, on the materials they need, to unemployment insurance, to social security, every employees job they provide includes a fair amount of that money going to Uncle Sam, or they legally invested in growing their company which gave them a tax break, or maybe its the thousands of dollars big corporations donate to charities and the arts. Try starting a small business sometime and you will see how much you pay to state and local and federal units before you make dime 1 of profit.

    “Thirty companies including General Electric Co., Verizon Communications and Boeing Co., didn’t pay federal income tax between 2008 and 2010 though they earned a combined $160.3 billion in pretax U.S. profits in that period,”.   I do acknowledge that these large corporations *claim* to have earned the right to their deductions based on depreciating stuff, and making capital investments.   But that doesn’t make it false that they paid no federal income tax.  I’m assuming you support the “47 percent of the populace pays no federal income tax” being a valid point. So how can you then find issue with my point?

    Furthermore, it is well documented that large corporations use offshore “headquarters” for tax-sheltering purposes. e.g., Google:

    way stating that its ok to ship all our jobs overseas in pursuit of
    profits?”

    Well, yeah, pretty much.  You’re saying that you’re willing to subsidize their efforts and add to their profits in order to obtain and use their product.  Which by the way is exactly what capitalism is.  You can complain about the means but I don’t think they’ll much care what you do with their product once you’ve already paid them.

    @Andrew – $13,867 sounds like a lot of money until you realize that the annual budget for the United States amounts to $12,435 per person PER YEAR.  The government could take all that money, run the government for one year, leave you just over a thousand bucks, and then that’s all there is because that was a one time cash grab that destroyed all that capital, and everything else is exactly the way it was.

    I have read so many times in these posts that all the tarp money has been paid back. You realize that the initial tarp bailout which was in the billions of dollars was only a drop in the bucket when in reality trillions of dollars were handed over not only to American banks and businesses but plenty of it went to non-american banks and businesses as well. No strings attached.  I’m sure it’s all been paid back though. The fascist nature of our corporate/ government relationship is the issue that people should be up in arms about. They are both guilty as sin. OWS has some valid complaints. Tea partiers also have valid complaints but it seems every group that raises their voice somehow gets co-opted by the corporate/government incestuous partnership and loses it’s credibility. The corruption in this country is spiraling out of control and it is not going to end well for anyone. Look at Mexico and it’s bribe based system of commerce and it’s canyon like income gap between the have and the have nots. The drug gangs rule the streets, kidnapping rich folks for ransom is a growing industry and violence is wide spread and an accepted way to resolve issues. You want to see our future? Look at Mexico. So instead of knee jerk reactions and vitriolic comments we should be finding common ground and fighting the real enemies of working folks, not hammering each other while we do the elites dirtywork for them. Don’t be so easily manipulated people

    I am fully aware of that, and have sworn an oath to uphold and defend same from enemies both foreign and domestic in 1972 – never once have I renounced that oath. Seeing things that you have said in that regard is the reason that you are being called out. The things you speak up for and are in favor of are counter to freedom and The Constitution; sorry if you are offended but that in and of itself shows you are one of the people who are interested in seeing this nation destroyed for the sake of your liberal agenda, whether you deny it or not, you are not a conservative, but you are political and opinionated with a definite list toward portside.

    You can declare I lack facts and logic all you care to, but that is your stock in trade, not mine. As a matter of observation, it seems you are the one who thinks that you can bend facts to fit your logic, a logic which is apparently emotional in nature, if not at least a dishonest portrayal of logic.

    I certainly don’t and would advise people to not push it.

I’m happy to have my 2nd amendment in case they continue with their destruction of my 4th.”

    “One suicide by handgun by a vet., 1 shot near OWS, but having nothing to do with OWS. 1 dead of natural causes.”

    I see nothing about fact or logic to support anything in any of those statements, and when you do cite a source it is invariably liberal. You align yourself with liberal opinions by liberals and align yourself in support of liberal organizations like OWS, but you aren’t liberal. Oh no sir, no liberals in here, ain’t nobody here but us chickens”…

Because of the Settlement the 9th Circuit decided that Mayfield had no standing to bring suit. One case in ten years.

    They’ve been denied any suitable place to hold their protests. It’s their right to protest and it’s unreasonable to expect people from all over the country to return home or rent a motel room every night. Without being given suitable and reasonable places to stay (as a means to end the protests), they have camped in public areas (public…of which they are). As far as ‘civil disobedience’ goes, they expect to be arrested or treated as the law guides, but not (of course) to be beaten and hit in the head point-blank by flash-bangs.

    Preemptive war, seizures of “persons of interest” to be sent where law could not intervene, be tortured (the same things we convicted others for doing and labeled them as torture and war crimes), and held indefinitely without Habeas Corpus (Latin for “you [shall] have the body,” is the name of a legal action or writ by means of which detainees can seek relief from unlawful imprisonment. The Suspension Clause of the United States Constitution specifically included the English common law procedure in Article One, Section 9, clause 2, which demands that “The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.”). These are some of the dangers even citizens face as a result of the “Patriot Act”.
    Preemptive war is illegal by the way “Preventive war undertaken without the approval of the United Nations is illegal under the modern framework of international law.”.
    “1) Preemptive war — sometimes called “anticipatory self-defense” — is considered legal under international law, but only when undertaken in response to an imminent threat. Moreover, the onus for demonstrating such an imminent threat falls on the country doing the preempting. Which means that bogus or politicized intelligence will not be seen to be anything more than criminal negligence.

    2) Preventive war — sometimes called “anticipatory self-defense” — is considered illegal under international law precisely because no imminent threat exists. Under international law, preventive war is considered a type of naked aggression.”.
    “The Kellogg-Briand Pact condemned recourse to war and renounced war as an instrument of national policy, and that the United Nations Charter, which was concluded “to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind”, requires that all members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the purposes of the United Nations. The new Bush doctrine of ‘preventive war’ which was published in the National Security Strategy in September 2002 contemplates attacking a state in the absence of specific evidence of a pending attack. This doctrine marks a departure from the prohibition of the use of force under international law, starting from the Kellogg-Briand pact, the establishment of the Nuremberg Charter, the conclusion of the United Nations Charter and the establishment of the International Criminal Court, and marks a return to a readiness to use force in international relations.

    Following the publication of that doctrine, the United States, together with United Kingdom, Australia and other States, launched an attack on Iraq, having failed to gain approval of the Security Council under Chapter VII. Many international lawyers believe that attack was illegal and amounted to a war of aggression.”

    They do not deserve to be “given suitable and reasonable places to stay” any more than the TP or anyone else. Why should they be afforded special treatment at the expense of the other taxpayers?

    If they were behaving like civilized law abiding citizens, like the TP folks do, they would not have to be handled like the law breakers they are. They can try to blow up out of proportion the treatment they are receiving , but it is all smoke and mirrors they use to CYA.

    Iraq happened because Saddam Hussein reneged on the cease fire agreement he signed in 1991, because he invaded Kuwait. It was done to enforce that agreement. How was that Preemptive again?

    I’m the moron? Here is your hero Bush arguing for his war against Iraq: “For centuries, international law recognized that nations need not suffer an attack before they can lawfully take action to defend themselves against forces that present an imminent danger of attack. Legal scholars and international jurists often conditioned the legitimacy of preemption on the existence of an imminent threat—most often a visible mobilization of armies, navies, and air forces preparing to attack.

    We must adapt the concept of imminent threat to the capabilities and objectives of today’s adversaries. Rogue states and terrorists do not seek to attack us using conventional means. They know such attacks would fail. Instead, they rely on acts of terror and, potentially, the use of weapons of mass destruction—weapons that can be easily concealed, delivered covertly, and used without warning.”.

Kriegis: “The UN Charter is a treaty binding upon the United States and other UN member states. The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, which is widely thought to reflect customary international law, allows a party to a treaty to suspend the treaty’s operation if circumstances constituting an essential basis of its consent have fundamentally changed in a way not foreseen when the treaty was entered into, and if the change radically transforms the extent of obligations still to be performed under the treaty. It may be argued that the same principle would apply to specific provisions in a treaty. Thus it may be argued that circumstances have so fundamentally changed since 1945, when the UN Charter was adopted, that the “armed attack” restriction can no longer be taken literally.” http://www.asil.org/insigh88.cfm Fail a fourth time!

    THE UNITED NATIONS CHARTER
    AND THE USE OF FORCE AGAINST IRAQ
    The United Nations Charter is a treaty of the United States, and as such forms part of the “supreme law of the land” under the Constitution, Article VI, Clause 2. The UN Charter is the highest treaty in the world, superseding states’ conflicting obligations under any other international agreement. (Art. 103, UN Charter)
    “Self-defense is justified only when the necessity for action is “instant, overwhelming, and leaving no choice of means, and no moment for deliberation.” (Letter from Daniel Webster, Secretary of State, to Lord Ashburton, August 6, 1842, reprinted in 2 John Bassett Moore, A Digest of International Law 409, 412 (1906)). A modern version of this approach is found in Oppenheim’s International Law: Ninth Edition, 1991, p. 412 (emphasis added):

    The development of the law, particularly in the light of more recent state practice, in the 150 years since the Caroline incident suggests that action, even if it involves the use of armed force and the violation of another state’s territory, can be justified as self defence under international law where:
    an armed attack is launched, or is immediately threatened, against a state’s territory or forces (and probably its nationals);
    there is an urgent necessity for defensive action against that attack;
    there is no practicable alternative to action in self-defence, and in particular another state or other authority which has the legal powers to stop or prevent the infringement does not, or cannot, use them to that effect;
    the action taken by way of self-defence is limited to what is necessary to stop or prevent the infringement, i.e. to the needs of defence…

    The application of the basic law regarding self-defense to the present U.S. confrontation with Iraq is straightforward. Iraq has not attacked any state, nor is there any showing whatever that an attack by Iraq is imminent. Therefore self-defense does not justify the use of force against Iraq by the United States or any state.

    Okay, since you are so slow I will do that for you. You quoted Bush, here is the Full Quotemm, that does not appear on your website from the Iraqi War Veterans: “The United States, the American people, and our interests at home and abroad by identifying and destroying the threat before it reaches our borders. While the United States will constantly strive to enlist the support of the international community, we will not hesitate to act alone, if necessary, to exercise our right of self-defense by acting pre-emptively against such terrorists, to prevent them from doing harm against our people and our country….Given the goals of rogue states and terrorists, the United States can no longer solely rely on a reactive posture as we have in the past. The inability to deter a potential attacker, the immediacy of today’s threats, and the magnitude of potential harm that could be caused by our adversaries’ choice of weapons, do not permit that option. We cannot let our enemies strike first….For centuries, international law recognized that nations need not suffer an attack before they can lawfully take action to defend themselves against forces that present an imminent danger of attack. Legal scholars and international jurists often conditioned the legitimacy of pre-emption on the existence of an imminent threat—most often a visible mobilization of armies, navies, and air forces preparing to attack. We must adapt the concept of imminent threat to the capabilities and objectives of today’s adversaries….The United States has long maintained the option of pre-emptive actions to counter a sufficient threat to our national security. The greater the threat, the greater is the risk of inaction—and the more compelling the case for taking anticipatory action to defend ourselves, even if uncertainty remains as to the time and place of the enemy’s attack. To forestall or prevent such hostile acts by our adversaries, the United States will, if necessary, act pre-emptively.”

    The International Law that allows for the Preemptive strike is called the Caroline Test, from the 1837 Caroline Affair, the Caroline was a Steamboat that carried supplies to Canadian Rebels, the British captured the SS Caroline towed her into the current, set her afire and sent her over Niagara Falls. Then US Secretary of State Daniel Webster, argued that force might have been used in the case of Self-Defense, but that there was no need for self-defense at the time.

    Here is the Avalon site on the case: http://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/br-1842d.asp

    Where does it state in the Constitution again that Veterans get to declare war?

  • Anonymous

    One, I am not wrong.
    Two, you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the Supremacy clause, which makes you wrong.
    That clause states:
    “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.”
    So in Order as listed Supremacy comes from:
    1) The Constitution (Which grants Congress, not the UN to declare war),
    2) The Laws of the United States (Also referred to as the United States Code, or Public Laws, remember that Public Law 107-243?),
    3) Treaties made or which shall be made (The UN Charter falls here, so it is not Supreme to the Constitution or US Public Law),
    4) State Constitutions,
    5) State Laws.

    I thought you studied the Constitution, how can you be so wrong about it so often.

    So even though the UN rejected the argument for the war against Iraq, they had already authorized force to be used against Iraq. You might Remember UNSC Resolution 678, that allowed for the removal of Iraq from Kuwait, and UNSC Resolution 687 that ended the Gulf War, if Iraq meet certain requirements.

    When ever you want to admit that there is overwhelming Evidence that you are wrong, we can move forward. Remember no one has been charged with going to war Illegally since the Nuremberg Tribunal.

    You had four sources, I responded to Four sources, how was that only half? Who is sliding half truth again? You Ralph?

    The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land, then Comes the United States Code and Public Laws, then the Treaties (The UN Charter falls here). The UN Charter does not have Supremacy over the Constitution, nor US Laws, so saith the Constitution at Article VI, Clause 2.

    To Quote Webster again since you are so thick: “leaving no choice of means, and no moment for deliberation.” Saddam had rejected the other means, and there was 12 years of deliberation. There was not more time to allow for other lessor means to take effect, they had already proven not to work. There was also no more time to wait and let him to continue to attack his own people, or any other nation.

    First of all, the fact that you went to Viet Nam tells me that 1) you’re not that smart or you would’ve gotten a college deferment, like most of my relatives of that age group. 2)  that also tells me that you come from a back ground where money was limited.  3) I could’ve gone to the military, I tested pretty high in that navy test that they administer, but out of respect to my dad I didn’t.  My  dad fought with honor in WWII and he had to put up with more bullshit from Amerikans than he did the Japanese.  As far as weather conditions are concerned, what you listed if fucking nothing.

    Don’t presume to tell me what a protest is to me. TP protests are still protests no matter how long. They do so in a mature, responsible manner. Unlike OWS, they do not break any laws. Unlike OWS they do not impede the flow of traffic, urinate/defecate on cars or the grounds where they assemble, leave trash, rape or assault others, confront and verbally assault police or news people, expect other taxpayers to feed them, cause damage to surrounding businesses, etc. Have your month long protest/demonstration.

    He probably suffers from Progressive Brain Syndrome: characterized by a teflon like coating of the cerebral cortex which rejects all reason but allows for incoming information that fits only onto the leftwing receptor sites. As suggested by it’s name, it is a progressive disease that is rarely curable, and eventually leads to death of the basic freedoms of the individual. It’s insidious spread within communities when not kept in check, has lead to the fall of nations. There is no known antidote or cure. Prevention through education is the best defense for people allowing themselves to be inoculated with the disease by the present vectors. Those most susceptible are the young and otherwise immature in the population who perceive themselves as being entitled, treated unfairly, or who are allergic to honest hard work. Many have high expectations of their surrounding society to care for their needs and wants and to provide for them otherwise. Prognosis: Not clear. Much depends on the duration of exposure and current climate.

    Only Congress can declare war, but the US signed the treaties which give the UN power to declare a war legitimate or not. It’s international law, it doesn’t interfere with our constitutional rights, except where those are interpreted in such a way as to deny rights to others nations and peoples.
    As such an expert on the constitution who keeps bringing up the same circular reasoning and illogical jumps (“Congress declares war, not the UN”), why does it not matter what the entire world as well as most constitutional scholars agree that the war was illegal? There are lists of “war crime” allegations which the US government refuses to address or paid to settle. Several countries have determined to arrest and prosecute Bush Jr. et al and only backed down under extreme pressure from our government.
    I’m sure you’ll disregard and mock an MIT Professor whose research and depth of reason are no doubt beyond you (beyond myself at times), but Noam Chomsky has about 1/3 of his books dedicated to references and sources and if you can refute him, then good luck to you.

    Lets see how this test works, shall we? The Phrase and/or appears a grand total of Zero Times in the entire Constitution. So you fail on the facts with that part of your retarded argument.

    Can you find one SCOTUS case that says that a Treaty is Supreme to the Constitution?
    “There is nothing in this language which intimates that treaties and laws enacted pursuant to them do not have to comply with the provisions of the Constitution. Nor is there anything in the debates which accompanied the drafting and ratification of the Constitution which even suggests such a result. These debates, as well as the history that surrounds the adoption of the treaty provision in Article VI, make it clear that the reason treaties were not limited to those made in “pursuance” of the Constitution was so that agreements made by the United States under the Articles of Confederation, including the important peace treaties which concluded the Revolutionary War, would remain in effect. It would be manifestly contrary to the objectives of those who created the Constitution, as well as those who were responsible for the Bill of Rights — let alone alien to our entire constitutional history and tradition — to construe Article VI as permitting the United States to exercise power under an international agreement without observing constitutional prohibitions. In effect, such construction would permit amendment of that document in a manner not sanctioned by Article V. The prohibitions of the Constitution were designed to apply to all branches of the National Government, and they cannot be nullified by the Executive or by the Executive and the Senate combined.
    There is nothing new or unique about what we say here. This Court has regularly and uniformly recognized the supremacy of the Constitution over a treaty.For example, in Geofroy v. Riggs, 133 U. S. 258, 133 U. S. 267 (1890), it declared:

    “The treaty power, as expressed in the Constitution, is in terms unlimited except by those restraints which are found in that instrument against the action of the government or of its departments, and those arising from the nature of the government itself and of that of the States. It would not be contended that it extends so far as to authorize what the Constitution forbids, or a change in the character of the government, or in that of one of the States, or a cession of any portion of the territory of the latter, without its consent.”

    “This Court has also repeatedly taken the position that an Act of Congress, which must comply with the Constitution, is on a full parity with a treaty, and that, when a statute which is subsequent in time is inconsistent with a treaty, the statute to the extent of conflict renders the treaty null. It would be completely anomalous to say that a treaty need not comply with the Constitution when such an agreement can be overridden by a statute that must conform to that instrument.” – Reid v. Covert, 354 U.S. 1 (1956), at pg 16-18, from noted Constitutional Scholar Justice Hugo Black.

    more politically independent, less wealthy and, unfortunately for all
    of the folks crying laziness, MORE EMPLOYED.
    According to the graphic, pulled together by Accelerated Degree,
    70% of Occupy Wall Street participants are employed, taking the wind
    out of the argument that protestors are lazy, free-riding hippies with
    nothing else to do. Many of the movement’s most staunch supporters go
    protest and occupy AFTER WORK.”

    Here’s an idea, let’s get some politicians in power who will not takes bribes.  Even crazier, maybe those politicians can create a business environment that allows smaller businesses to thrive and force the larger businesses to but their time and effort to innovation and providing superior services to the customer.

    Never heard of Accelerated Degree. Do you have any stats from a credible source that someone has heard of?

    Until you do, I’ll believe the videos I’ve seen on CBS, MSNBC, CNN and elsewhere showing those Obamavilles in 24/7 populated status all over the country. I’ll believe the pictures I’ve seen in the newspapers about the tons of trash your environmentally-aware Luddites have strewn everywhere they go. I’ll believe the police blotters from law-enforcement departments about the country recording the drug use, theft, vandalism, illegal trespass and other boorish behavior exhibited by these fine upstanding citizens you so staunchly defend.

    Now, please take some advice: Occupy a job, or occupy Parris Island. Otherwise, just go away and be quiet. Let the vast majority of Americans continue to work and contribute to a country that puts up with your childish stunts.

    I often think back to the Pioneers who crossed this Country in the 1800′s when I think life is too tough.  They indured extermly hard times,  can you imagine what they went through? Riding in a wagon or walking for a thousand miles. The threat of attack by Indians,  or death from illness or childbirth.   But they didn’t cry and whine about, it,   they pushed on and didn’t give up.    They would be ashamed of how pansy azzed we have become!    Life is not fair,  never has been and never will be.  It’s just the way it is!

    “Hahahahahaha…that’s funny right there, I don’t care who you are.”  I love this.  Hit them where it hurts.  Go get a job deadbeats.  I don’t care how many actually work at McDonald’s, I don’t eat there.  Besides, these people don’t want to work, they want it all given to them: income, food, housing, college, etc., why should they work for anything.  Obama, Soros, and the other Dems who support these gangs of stinky, rotten, lazy, punks will see to it that they get most of what they ask for as long as they march.  I say bring out the water canons, bug spray, disinfectant, and whatever else you need to “clean up” and “run off” these bums.

    Did you know when my parents were raised on farms in the twenties and thirties they killed home fed pigs and did not waste anything from the pig, but shared with neighbors and cooked and ate everything.  The skin was used to make cracklings, the inteatines were cleaned and used to incase sausage made from everything from the pig, even the blood was kept to make blood stew which was very tasty.  You’ve never known real hunger have you?  They had no money to buy and no store near by anyway.  Some children today only have a mcdonalds to get their food and thank God for that. My dad is 96 and is still here today eating anything and still makes a garden.

    You know I read thru all of the bickering and all I can say is if we the people dont come together and provide a solution we are doomed.I am a high school dropout and have worked const. all my life and made a good living.I do know that I didnt need a college prof. teaching me socialist propagnda and  weed out my common sense.I think we all can agree that are system is broken not failed.And I attribute that to the educated idiots we voted into office or that got voted in by other ei’s.But bigger government is not the answer they caused all this because they ignored the will of the people they are supposed to serve.So let the people take the power back and make them take a 50% pay cut because we the people say and we are your boss or there is the door.Less government and ss which was a democrat idea to get more from us needs to be dealt with.And the opportunity to succeed to be preserved.And for these that think they are owed something to get of there butts and find work. I am 54 and I found work had to go 1500 miles from my family but it is all about survival.Oh yeah am working for almost half what I got paid in Cali.But the cost of living is cheaper.Give me Liberty or Give me Death

  • Princedraxx

    Mr. Mayer,

    I beg to differ with you on your description of a typical Libertarian.
    #1. I happen to be a Libertarian. My daddy didn’t pay for my education college education. I did while working a full time job (50 hours a week) and going to school on my 3 days off per week.
    #2. I worked on my daddy’s farm until I got old enough to leave home because he didn’t pay but room and board.
    #3. I’ve worked all my life and earned enough money to pay for a car, house and my food and I even managed to save a little bit. I’d say I was a typical Libertarian, since someone who has been given everything their whole lives is either a Republican or a Democrat.

    That should be good enough to be considered a productive citizen of this country. Mostly however, what I end up with is jack-booted assholes trying to catch citizens speeding so they can give them a ticket so the government can get it’s hands on more of the people’s money. I get government officials trying to tell me what to do with my life, my land, my vehicles and at the end of the day trying to tell me what I can or cannot eat, watch or do in my spare time. I’m fucking tired of it and that makes me a Libertarian.

    You understand that the things they were rebelling against in Russia are the VERY SAME things you want to bring here to the United States now, right? It’s interesting that you’d use that as an example.

    Here’s the difference between Russians rejecting Communism and what your “Occupiers” are doing right now: Communism had essentially made it so that everything- EVERYTHING- belonged to the government. Because if you give everything to the government, they can TOTALLY be trusted to give it all back in some form, to “redistribute” it as needed. Because giving them that ultimate power over the nation’s capital won’t in ANY way corrupt any good intentions they may have ever had, RIIIIGHT? Read the news sometime.

    So those protesting Communism, in using Soviet presses and working in Soviet factories and eating Soviet food, were using the only means at their disposal. It was ALL “Soviet.” (But that was “for the good of the collective.”) Here in the United States, people are allowed to own things and profit from their own ingenuity and labor. (At least until your precious liberals take over.)

    By the way, nobody has to typecast you people. You stand out there holding up signs demanding that your credit card debt (that you racked up over spring break) and your college tuition debt (for a degree that will never land you a job that pays a living wage but makes you “feel good”) be canceled. You stand out there holding signs advocating “eating the rich.” Your every sentiment, every remark, echoes nothing more than the conviction that you are entitled to the fruit of others’ labor, for no other reason than that they have more than you do.

    “The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without
    knowing how it happened.” ~Norman Thomas, six-time U.S. presidential candidate for the Socialist Party.

  • Can4chiefs

    My job didn’t ship overseas because I created it! Why should those businesses stay here? They are over regulated, over taxed and under appreciated by people like you who believe they exist only to give you a job. I have no slave master because I have no debt, nor will I. I also have a 2 year supply of food and alternative currency when ours tanks! If you live below your means, then you too can live debt free, but I’m sure you believe you DESERVE everything now and that somebody else should pay for it.

    What makes me mad is that about half the taxpayers ( and by definition they aren’t) pay no taxes at all.

    And THEN they get a “tax refund” because of this stupid Earned Income Tax Credit.
    Yep, the people that DO pay taxes have to carry the entire load  PLUS give a “refund ” to those that didn’t pay a damned dime.
    And the ones that dropped out of high school, did nothing to better themselves or knocked up or got knocked up are the very ones that are doing all the bitching.

    Instead of playing by the rules they broke all the rules , disobeyed their parents, (yes even the stupidest parents tell their daughter to keep their knees together and the boys the keep it in their pants) and now they expect to be forgiven and get some kind of “help” from society.

    mechanically separated meat occasionally contains small pieces of bone. the USDA is aware of this, as well as some people who damaged their dental work. I eat this stuff to because it’s economical, but eating a real piece of chicken is best of all.

    beef steak is always more expensive than ground beef for hamburgers. organic beef is more expensive because the cattle aren’t fed chemical potions and drugs along with their food. factory farming is far removed from what many people think a farm is like.

  • Weiss630

    how did this become a discussion on mickey d’s and corporate taxes?  the point seems to be, the protesters were angered by being given job applications for legitimit jobs.  why would this anger them?  apparently they aren’t hungry enough.  my son, with a college degree, took a job with lowe’s assembling stuff for customers when he lost his job.  he is married with five kids and was willing to do anything to put food on the table.  he has since started his own business and is doing much better.  too many young people are not willing to ‘pay their dues’ and expect ‘womb to tomb’ care from the nanny state we have created.  if they are upset about corporate taxes, or lack there of, they should be protesting congress who created the loopholes that the corporation legally take advangtage of.

    It seems a lot of use news reports to justify your “opinions”  The news is rarely about what is factually happening.  I have to go to work now, where I must pee in a cup at random times, in order to recieve my paycheck, from which taxes have been held out.  The same taxes that pay these lazy freeloaders who “occupy” this or that.  Do they have to pee in a cup for thier checks?  NO

    I have an idea for you John. Go start a business, produce something that I and others might like and buy and show us the business plan that you came up with to compensate your employees. After a few years of doing this and assuming you survive and thrive, come and show us your blueprint of a successful business that did not exploit your employees.

    I thought CERN developed the Internet. You’re probably confused because Al Gore claimed he did, and he was an agent of the govt at the time, but it was really scientists not even in this country. Lesson: Don’t believe everything the Democrats tell you. Also, people complain about jobs shipped out of the country, but did you know those jobs occupied by people who don’t have to sell their bodies on the street? So, I use my products guilt free. And the employment rate wasnt always this bad, even though companies outsourced. There has to be another reason. Stop the insanity!

    Organic farming doesn’t mean that chemicals and drugs aren’t used at all as many people think, it just means their use is severely restricted. You’re right on the factory farming thing though. That is just wrong. There’s plenty of available land left in the world to graze cattle on, we don’t need to be subsiding intensive factory farming. In many countries, like Argentina and Brazil, the cattle industry is a main source of earnings. We should be helping them, not putting up barriers.

After this stunt I guess we can protest / boycott MacDonald’s till it’s death! Let this be a notice to you big wigs. Give me liberty or give me death is the spirit of TRUE Americans & MacDonald is now on our shit list. Good job. I guess they have no idea how fickle the public is.

    Defined by the federal government? So. They (FDA) also believe milk does a body good. (Blood and puss)
    No doubt, there are nutrients in dairy that the body needs. These are available in food sources without the Blood and puss. The problem is that there are no large corporations to stroke politicians payoffs with fresh fruits and vegetables.

    Kind of ironic that the Chicago Board of Trade is so flamboyant in their arrogance…but they’d rely on the 99% to save them if the cumulative effect of their flaming douche baggery ignited their building on fire! 

    Now I certainly don’t condone any violence by people, unless the government has become authoritarian, and the people need to fight to free themselves…but it’s rather telling that Chicago’s occupy movement has by all accounts been less abrasive and in your face than virtually any other occupy movement in the US…yet here are the human trash known as the 1% who have taken up the slack and gloated with glee at the misery of their fellow citizens!

    The 99% movement needs to evolve…you don’t need apologists for the 1% to join your side…you just need to make sure that you all make your votes count…and expel any political garbage (ie. most Republicans) through the democratic process!
