You know who should be paying those taxes that fund the programs to the poor? The wealthiest 1% of the country.

WHY?!?! Because they Either A. Went to college and got a good job and are VERY successful. OR B> Their Parents/Grandparents did it?

That sounds A LOT like redistribution of wealth to me. THAT IS SOCIALISM...

9 years ago I came to the USA with 800 bucks in my pocket and determined to learn another language and have a better life. I have achieved my goal i make almost 50k/year with a simple GED and i'm bilingual.

and a PROUD naturalized AMERICAN citizen!

Do I need to get you guys a room so you can finish sucking each others dicks?

This is a thread about issues that are making life miserable for the 99% in this country, and you're here to derail it and go off on your own little tangents about how your lives are so great. YOU DONT SEE THE ISSUE.

You clearly know nothing about how the system has failed us all. Take your pro-1% propaganda elsewhere.

there are no opportunity's for the lower class to rise up, just the way it is, most just sit back and collect a check that you and i pay for. or they are stuck making min wage witch aint jack!

you will never get a head making 250 a week, you'd be lucky to pay the rent and eat on that. never mind a car or a nice trip somewhere.

They already do. I have a friend who makes $200k a year. About 50% of his income goes to taxes. The left wants you to think the rich are getting off easy, but they in fact paying for more than their fair share. It should be a flat percentage rate across the board. 20% of $100,000 is $20,000. For those making $15,000 that 20% is only $3000. The rich will always pay more.

And to PENALIZE the rich for doing well for themselves is the stupidest idea ever. Guess who supplies the jobs? Thats right, the rich. Tax them more, and jobs will go away.

SEE work and you CAN succeed. OR be lazy and blame the system that already takes too much money and gives it to you.

stealthee SERIOUSLY... DID we go to the same GOVERNMENT class or something...

If you're not going to take the time to educate yourselves, then YOU TOO ARE THE PROBLEM.

No, this is about lazy people who want everything handed to them. Life isn't miserable for 99% of the country.

you sir are living the american dream, that we as Americans who were born here take for granted every damn day.

50 grand is nothing to sneeze at, your doing just fine. good luck in the future, what ever you are doing you are doing it right.

Seriously.... Life is not miserable for everyone... If you are miserable sure you HOPE that everyone else is too. That way it is not YOUR fault you are where you are.

Thats what their problem is

Its not the governments job to make your life better. YOU have to WORK to make your life better.

like aerosmith says eat the rich, theres only one thing there very good for.

and now is not the time for starting up any new company for sure.

Sounds more like you and the rest of the "protesters" need to to protest the government. Seeing as how it was Both Bush and Obama who were for it. Our better yet protest the democrats who voted in favor of the bailout. Seeing how Democrats ran both houses when that mess was going on. ;)
