I'm not surprised I got a question like this from Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC. Given the mindset of Mr. O'Donnell and most of his colleagues, it's to be expected that he would cite my statement that Occupy Wall Street protesters have only themselves to blame if they are unemployed or lacking wealth and ask if I wanted to apologize for saying so.
Not a chance.
In fact, I would add this: Anyone who abandons these protests and tries taking my advice is almost certain to end up better off. That's because it's empowering to you when you stop blaming other people for your situation, and start taking responsibility for yourself.

Bingo.
The reason CEOs et al make so darned much is that they’re taking the consequences of some very large scale decisions. Make the right decision, they get rich; make the wrong decision, life gets veeeeeeeeery unpleasant.
Hey, OWSers:
- you wanna make a LOT of money? you REALLY willing to take on the responsibilities of making decisions affecting (and maybe taking) the lives of millions?
- you think those “fat cats” are unfairly paid? you REALLY willing to do their job for little more than a “living wage”?
Nothing would benefit the black underclass more than adopting Cain’s ideas and advice.
We really should start pointing this out more and specifically how stupid and ANTI-SCIENCE the leftists are. Mock them about their primitive superstitions and belief in “luck”.
"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'."
