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
What a load of crap. The premise is that we must vote rat? Entitlements are OK?
Oh yeah! Okay. LOL! Don’t quit your day job as an Occuzombie. I don’t think the standup comedian thing is going to work out for you, Skippy.
Bye bye now.
Only for Obama - seeing as he is already sticking it up the collective a** of the American public. He is the only one in the "position" to bend over and take it.
So...What was the meaning of this movement, again ?
Wow, what an utterly pointless rant. The Republicans are evil and want to take away our benefits, you say? The Democrats are useless and Obama is a big disappointment, you say? Oh Lawdie, Lawdie! Whatever shall Ah do? I know- I’ll go to Wall Street/ Boston Common/ Hartford and hang around with some dirty hippies and call for the end of capitalism and the US banking system. There- that’ll fix things.
I could have sworn that this was some sort of “non-partisan” movement.
Silly me!
I take issue (especially) with the one claim that Philly residents pay 3% to the city. When I worked there, it was only us suckers who commuted there to work who paid this welfare tax.
The Wall Street guys they are so mad at support Democrats, not Republicans. How is it the Republicans’ fault that the Wall Street fat cats got bonuses after taking TARP money? The legislation that allowed THAT was written by Sen. Chris Dodd, D-CT.
Yet what have the DemocRATS gotten us?!?
So? What is your opinion on what you posted?
sniff; sniff. IBTZ?
Whoohoo! IBTZ!
You need the ZOT.
Obama has been feeding corporations and banksters like a mad man since he stepped into office. Everyone has their paws in the treasury with Obama which is why social security is in dire straights.
Check out this one!
Not for long I hope. IBTZ.
Ignore..all is well.
