Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment.

This...actually pisses me off. "You know what? Fuck this. I'm just not going to try to strive to be a successful businessman, I'm just going to sit on my ass and play playstation all day"

I am confused as to why you are angry. Many, if not most people work more than one part-time job. Many of these jobs are at minimum wage or just above minimum wage. The part time is an exploit used by business to keep from providing health insurance. If heath care was in place and a livable wage was provided, holding 2 or 3 part-time jobs would manage a household.

Note not all business use the part-time status as an exploit. Many small business simply do not need a full time person.

Let me expound on removing health care concerns from business concerns. I enjoy owning and operating businesses. I am very independent when it comes to vocation. Health care often prevents a person being able to utilize workers that have a family. In my many business, I have always paid well, but never been able to provide health care and rarely needed any one person full time, but I have needed skilled workers. And of course, no matter how they may like me, many persons cannot manage with out health care, therefore are not availed to small businesses owners such as my self.

No, I'll be respectful.

Clearly you have more knowledge on the subject if you have a degree involving the subjects, and I'm just a kid relatively speaking.

I may really disagree with where you're coming from, but it'd be kinda like a mouse arguing with a lion. You'd probably eat me alive on the subject .

They only thing the degree's say about me was that I was able to finish the courses.....and that has at least made me hold SOME jobs...

But I do get frustrated when people that have never applied themselves to a subject.....for even 9 months at a time...go on Glenn Beck rants (looks at Glenn Beck).

So I think a little revolution is a good thing thanks to my Econ studies.

Roth On!

An interesting note~
I will be attending negotiations tomorrow for my local Occupation. We are trying to work with the city
"We wish to work with the city of [retracted] to present a positive experience for the city of [retracted], for the state of [retracted], and for those aligning with the Occupation."

Please wish us well. I have informed my family, friends and associates. I have asked my family, friends and associates for their input, including a friend that I see to in a nursing home who will be greatly effected by my absence. All have clearly stated that it is indeed important. I have had no negative input.

Please support your local Occupation; tents, sleeping bags, gas cards, food, water, sign making supplies, legal services ( knowing what can and cannot occur or be and loopholes around obstacals), security personnel, sanitation personnel, medical personnel, rides, mail service, internet provisions, entertainment, weather gear, lighting (battery or windup), electric sources (non-grid)
Are a few things that come to mind.

Please pray, meditate or do what you do when a loved one is about to venture into an uncertain future for me and those around me. ~`~
Respectfully and warmest regards,
Blaze

I heard a blurb on the ABC News tonight about 20,000 or so manufacturing jobs supposedly about to return to the US. Why is this the case? Because the Chinese want higher wages. So they no longer have slave labor to offset the higher shipping costs.

That's the good news. Bad news is, these alleged jobs seem to be returning only to red anti-union states with Koch whore governors, so they STILL won't be living wage jobs.

Also, for those that knew, I might as well announce here.
I put off the MRI. Until a later date, I feel healthy enough. I will try to reschedule as soon as possible. My doctor's office was very understanding and supportive. A new nick name for me, lumpy. hahaha. God willing, it was only an echo.

I didn't get to make it to the Occupy Dallas gathering today but I have several friends that went and took pictures at the Occupy Austin protest. Cool!

i'd say that these guys are definitely on the pissed side, Nitro....

Just wait until you graduate, and aren't covered by that health care plan, can't find a job in your field, and still have to pay off those student loans. You ARE part of the 99% (unless there's something you haven't told us, and your last name is Bush/Hilton/Rockefeller/Kennedy, etc).

Not all of the 99% are doing as badly as those pictured above. But all of us could be doing a lot better, if not for the damage caused by the 1%. Whether that means unemployment, or high gas prices, or higher food prices (for food that's less healthy no less), or ridiculous health care costs, or if you know anyone who was killed or injured as a result of the BCE/PNAC illegal invasion and occupation of the middle east. Yeah, it all comes back to these pampered criminal unregulated never worked a damn day in their life rich fuck 1%.

i AM a part of the 99%. I'm not complaining, as there are many worse off than I am...
still, I recognize a problem when i see one...and brother...we HAVE one.

I don't think that is what they mean. No one thinks teenagers should be in charge.

People that don't work are obvious.....the left or the right....so let's see...CEO's wages have Quadrupled since the '70's while income for the rest has actually gone static or down during the same time period. Since 2008 the Ceo's income has risen 37% in the same time their "performance" has actually gone down.

Is that fair for anyone?

Who is going to hold these people responsible?

When was the last time a cop "found" your stolen goods?

When was the last time a cop protected you from getting hit?

When was the last time your Congressman came over to your house and hammered one single fucking nail in the roof as you re-roofed your house or business.

Wake up.

What he said!

Demand two: Institute a universal single payer healthcare system. To do this all private insurers must be banned from the healthcare market as their only effect on the health of patients is to take money away from doctors, nurses and hospitals preventing them from doing their jobs and hand that money to wall st. investors.

This is silly and not the model anywhere else(apart from maybe Cuba). The point is that if you have a decent universal healthcare system most people don't pay someone else for insurance(why bother?) but if they want to you have to let them since that's their right. You may end up with 5% with private health insurance because they have plenty of cash and if they want to do that for better 'hotel services' in private hospitals there isn't a problem with that.
