The only difference between a corrupt Wall Street CEO and the Wall Street occupiers is age.

They both want my stuff.

I would say most FReepers are the 53%. The whole 99% thing is BS, they are really the 47% who don’t pay taxes and want to live off of our dime. Moochers, low lifes, bums and scum are out there protesting so they can get more of our money for no work or effort.

The best part is that these people mention their hardships in the context of working hard.

Now - we all would like to pay LESS taxes, but these folks are not about taking from others to “level the playing field.”

Not only do they not pay anything, but they receive some form of “entitlement” from the government.

47% of the people in this country DON’T pay taxes. 53% do.
