[QUOTE="804brown, post: 935741, member: 29553"] I already addressed the gimme nonsense. The only thing they say "give us" democracy... give us a fair economic system....give us all health care, not just some...give us better opportunities, etc. As for the old whine: "how come 47% dont pay taxes, blah blah blah". Well again as im sure it has been pointed in numerous threads, those "lucky" bastards who dont pay any federal taxes actually are so lucky that they dont make enough money to pay taxes. Actually they do pay social security taxes, medicare taxes, state taxes, local taxes as well as federal taxes but they get most of them sent back to them. Lets not forget sales taxes, fees, tolls and fares. Their life must be just so wonderful making minimum wage. I bet they are giddy all day as they slave for those wages. They want a system that works for EVERYONE not just the priveleged few. Obviously you are content to be a lemming. So be it. But lets not knock truly brave individuals who stand up for justice and whats right. On their "demands" , why is it ok for the rich and powerful who own this government of ours to demand from congress, etc individual tax breaks and contracts, but the 99% of us cannot demand democracy and a fair system that works for everyone?? So now it is wrong to petition our govt and their masters on wall st?? Give me a break!! [/QUOTE]
