They made billions .. bankrupted the system .. the government bails them out and they pay themselves a big bonus with the money. Then they get a 2nd round of money at "zero" interest rate and what do they do? Invest in T-bills and the stock market. No loans for small business.
If you vote republican you are voting for the top 1%. and voting against yourself. Ask your self are you in the top 1%? or are you a part of the 99%. Yes you may be against abortion, gun control and you go to church and pray to god. I respect your view points but what matters most is your wallet and your survival. The Republican party is great at manipulating the facts and dividing us. The Democratic Party has no balls to stand up to them and is also influenced by lobbyist but at least they stand up for you.
Republicans want to repeal Medicare... have fun trying to buy medical insurance when you turn 65. You think its expensive now? LOL Just wait and see. Go ahead vote Republican and bend over.. its going to hurt.
I am 100% for capitalism.. and happy for anyone who knows how to make a honest dollar. I do not believe in redistribution of wealth. But People and corporations who make multi million dollars certainly can afford to give back the BUSH TAX CUTS and pay another 3%. Hedge funds Managers only pay 15% tax on their on some of their earnings. Many of them earn 10 million- 100 million a year. A self employed single person earning between $40,000 and $100,000 living in the City of Philadelphia has to pay 25% to Federal government 13% to Social security 3% to Pennsylvania 7% to the City 38% total. Are you kidding me? Warren Buffet only pays 15% tax on his dividends... no wonder he says his secretary pays more tax then him. Today we hear republican politicians say we most cut back on entitlements Remember the word entitlement means: An entitlement is a guarantee of access to benefits based on established rights or by legislation. If you pay into social security you should be entitled to collect what you deserve. Over the last 3 years senior citizens have not had one penny increase in their social security benefits. Are you kidding me? No wonder this economy is about to crash. Corporations earn more money because they are getting their help for less. Employees are being forced to do 2 jobs for the same pay and no increase in pay while cutting back on their benefits. If you pay into social security you should be entitled to collect what you deserve.
This movement is born out of frustration over the political system that has ruined this great country of ours. Obama is a big disappointment... he promised change but we got more of the same. The same cronies that were in power under Bush are still in power today. What do we have to look forward to in the next Election? NO CHOICE FOR REAL CHANGE

? IBTZ? zot? “check out this one”?
I’m somewhat new here, but I am catching on to what you are thinking.
I assure you I am with you guys and gals 110%
I am not part of them. I was just browsing their website. You can check out any other posts I have made here since I joined. I despise the 99%ers and what they are doing.
Sorry. Just got done reading your posting history. This is just a poor argument to make. Sorry for the graphic. It is fun though and at least I had a chance to post it today.
Regards.
Obama and the Democrats are the ones who stole $500 billion from Medicare.
Don’t panic. All is well. Next time put a Barf Alert on stuff like this before posting. It will save the confusion.
Alright, sorry for the confusion. Back to your posts men!
Awww. No zot.
Seems to me, for the past 40+ years both parties have served themselves, not the people!
It has been: “A government for the party, of the party, and by the party.”
No worries, everybody gets hazed on their first one. Everyone. :)
Welcome and enjoy the fireworks.
What can’t somebody be an independent thinker? Why must one follow along party lines to a tee? I agree with part of that commentary. I can find fault with those on the far right as well as those on the left. I don’t believe in subsidizing lazy people or illegal immigrants but I don’t think rich people should get away with financial murder either. Something wrong with that??? I’m getting a little sick of people not respecting others simply because they don’t think exactly like them. (Not speaking to anyone in particular just the mean spirited ones you know who you are)
New posters should comment on what they posted. Established posters have a history. I hope this helps. Thanks for answering.
I understand. It’s how you keep the riff-raff out.
This whole "Occupy" thing is a Fellini film gone bad.
“get away with financial murder...”
I think Palin had it right calling it “Crony Capitalism”. And as long as we put the blame where it belongs - on the government.
I did some work at a guy’s new property. New guy lured by AIG to the area. HUGE nice mansion on prime waterfront, with a mortgage payment less than my 1200sf house! Lots of deals went down. I’m not jealous of rich folks. But I was sure p.o.ed when I know it is my money funding it all. Bailouts to AIG and the banks, etc.
And I think that is part of the plan for these bailouts - to get conservatives angry at the bankers, Wall Street, etc. I had to remember to direct my anger at the government.
Good ZOT pictures are never wasted..LOL
Try not to post again will you, at least wait until after your brain transplant.
It is really easy to see right through you left wing ding bats when you try to push your flawed thinking. None of us are either in the fake 99% or fake 1%. We are in the all to real 53% of the people who actually pay the taxes in this country. It is plain you are one of the 47%, standing with your pants on the ground and your hand out.
You mean I wasted that beautiful snarky comment I made? Next time use a Barf alert and in the first comment make sure you make your position clear. FReepers like nothing better than to rip a left wing troll to shreds:)
