Members cryptosonic Posted October 5, 2011 Members Share Posted October 5, 2011 As a social/political/fiscal moderate [meaning I do not identify with a political party and vote based on reasoned opinion regarding politicians or legislation] I welcome the impending American class war.

Members nomenclature Posted October 5, 2011 Members Share Posted October 5, 2011 oh, it's jus some tard on their forum posting that, it's not an "official" demand by the looks of it? c'mon, just demand one is crazy. fast food burger flipper is not a $20 an hour job, and $20 is NOT a "living wage". that's a pretty {censored}ing comfortable wage for a responsible single person depending where you live. just enacting that alone will inflate the cost of good & services an incredible amount and put you back to square one where suddenly $20 an hour for bagging groceries is not enough. not to mention everyone else will then demand a raise based on their current job & skill in comparison to your general highschooler job now getting $20 an hour. $10 is more reasonable, and while not great isn't bad in comparison.

Members Stacco Posted October 5, 2011 Members Share Posted October 5, 2011 No idea if anyone else is shared this, but in the following article Douglas Rushkoff articulates many things concerning the protests that I agree with. Here's the link, and he addressed a lot of the criticisms aimed at the protest. http://edition.cnn.com/2011/10/05/opinion/rushkoff-occupy-wall-street/index.html?hpt=us_mid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Reaganomics! Posted October 5, 2011 Members Share Posted October 5, 2011 $20 an hour works out to 40 grand a year, before taxes, if you're working a full 40 hours. That's pretty decent if you're just a dude living in an apartment and buying music gear. If you're supporting a family you're not doing so hot. If you don't have health insurance you're likely one accident/illness away from catastrophic bankruptcy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Reaganomics! Posted October 5, 2011 Members Share Posted October 5, 2011 First they came for the derivatives trader,and I didn't speak out because I didn't trade derivatives. Then they came for the CEO's,and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a CEO. Then they came for the majority stockholders,and I didn't speak out because I didn't own the majority of a corporation's stocks. Then they came for meand there was no one left to speak out for me.

Members Faldoe Posted October 6, 2011 Members Share Posted October 6, 2011 Always gives me a grin when some liberal F.A.F. assumes I'm a republican. While I'm not liberal per se , its still a silly assertion none the less whether you're left, right, middle or walking around them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cobalt-60 Posted October 6, 2011 Members Share Posted October 6, 2011 Being poor in America is the WORST. From Census data: Ah, bull{censored}. I could buy all that on Craigslist and Goodwill for under $2300 (minus Jacuzzi anyway). They don't magically generate food, transportation, job security, a safe environment for your kids, or God forbid community or self-satisfaction. They're simply byproducts of a hyper industrial age.

Exactly. Since when do we measure wealth by possession of consumer electronics? If you think we've eradicated poverty, your are completely out of touch with reality. Jesus said "the poor will be with you always"--most accurate prophetic statement of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
