You know how I know you’re retarded? Because you write crap like this:

“[Those born into the 1%] can pay for an amazing education and their parents can use their connections or power (for money is power)to get them high-paying positions in companies.”

First off, the main difference between a college that gives you “an amazing education” and one that doesn’t is that the good one expects you to work your butt off rather than automatically giving you the diploma at the end of the curse like liberals want all colleges to be. If you’re the kind of person who spends 60 hours a week playing video games, or dating or surfing the internet, you’ll get your butt kicked out of the good college in about a week no matter how much money your parents have. That’s the whole point of a good college: that only those who know what the f**k they’re doing get to graduate from it. And no, good colleges don’t have magical machines that give people knowledge with the touch of a button. You have to work for it, and they make sure you’re prepared for the real world by making you work harder than the crappy colleges do. Nothing is simply given to them just because they have money.

And having connections might get you the job, but you still need to actually do a good job in order to keep it. Mom and Pop stores might put up with giving their stupid child a job for life, but no decent company will do the same. No matter who your parents are and how much money they make, the market won’t put up with your stupidity for too long.

Idiot children of rich people don’t get good jobs, they get a trust fund and/or a reality show.

And having so many of the 99% thinking that the only way to have a good education or a good job is to be rich to begin with, without having to put any actual effort into it, is a good evidence of why they don’t have a whelk’s chance in a supernova to become rich.

Very dumb post. I like the thing on the left, but the right is complete crap. I am not a billionaire, and will not blame a billionaire for my problems. That is mostly what this is all about. A bunch of stupid hippies blaming rich people that they have nothing. It is because they don’t do anything and they just protest. The rich worked hard, went to college, went out and got jobs and applied themselves. They didn’t let other people pay for them (tax payers). Occupy groups, how about occupy a job. Occupy a taco bell cashier. Occupy something besides pointless crap.

jesus fucking christ. the liberal/idiot/hippies are at it again. you people are morons. yes, the govt should stop the corruption and giving preferential treatment to the banks, blah blah. i agree with that. but, you fucking communist pieces of shit want everything to be a handout to you. blame the rich. redistribution of wealth, take from the rich, give to the poor.. sound familiar? it does to me. i was born in the USSR and this is where this shit is headed. fucking marxist ideologies. you lazy liberal scum. blame yourselves for your problems.

There is no finite amount of wealth. Because one person has more than someone else…does not mean that they took some of “what’s yours”. Believing this absurdity is the REAL problem. Should be forgive the big banks and those that bet against the rest of us? NO. And let’s be clear…Democrats and Republicans that were aware of what Freddie and Fannie were doing and how it was about to create a disaster….shorted the market. So don’t just blame the banks. Our own politicians were betting against the economy…while telling all of us that the economy was just fine. They are all scumbags.

But still…the OWS movement is a complete failure in math and interest. If I start out with 2 dollars and you start out with one. And all we do is put it in a low growth savings account. In 30 years I will have twice as much as you. It’s that simple. But even better. Let’s do more numbers. If you start out with 100,000. And I start out with 1,000,000 bucks. At the end of that 30 years you will have 500K but I will have nearly 5 million. So we started 900k apart … we finished nearly 4.5 million apart. That is just the reality of compounding interest. But just because I have more doesn’t mean I “took” it from you.

Wealth is created by our very existence. The problem I have with a lot of people on this argument is that so many want to ignore this fact. They want to decry the “wealth gap”. Who cares? Why is that even remotely important. If you go out and work … you earn wealth. Sometimes innovation leads to brilliant leaps in the economy. If you don’t believe this argument then you completely ignore things like the industrial revolution, the dot com boom and birth of the internet…companies like apple who’ve magically drummed out of thin air a billion dollar App industry. The list goes on and on.

So if we are all pissed off and are decrying a wealth gap and we need to redistribute it and tax the rich more and more…are you all idiots? “They don’t pay their fair share!” Really? They pay millions in taxes and 49%of Americans pay 0. It’s fair as long as I can reach into someone else’s pocket but I contribute nothing? How screwed up is that thinking.

We need a certain amount of regulation to keep things stable. But. But if you go down the road of demanding that we even the playing field because this wealth gap is intolerable….here’s what will happen:

The gap will start all over again tomorrow. Why? Because some people will wake up the next day and run out the door and others will lie back and sleep in. It’s human nature. Some people work hard and make more money. Get over it and put your hand f**king back down you greedy mooching piece of shit.
