Dino has a job for now and everyone that doesn't is a worthless piece of sh*it. And he is quite good at parroting the talking points he hears on Fox News. It also fails to realize that this is the 21st century and you don't pound the pavement to find a job. You apply online, Post to Monster etc and are notified via email or cellphone call if they want to speak further. Sorry to blow is image of all protesters being lazy morons but you can protest and look for a job at the same time.

I must have missed the piece of **** comment that I made. Obviously there are plenty of hard working people out of work. That's a totally different subject that has nothing to do with this point. The protestors we are discussing are actually protesting people that are rich, not just the wall street insiders. They believe that the supposed rich should pay more taxes so that they don't have to pay any taxes like 48% of our country.
If I was unemployed I sure as hell wouldn't expect anyone in this country to pay more taxes to help me and my family. I would be cleaning toilets before asking for a handout, unlike too many people.

Dino... Really? You think the ENTIRE point of this is about the rich paying more taxes? That is certainly what the rebulicons want you to think, Pit the Working Class vs The unemployed and maybe you wont see that (Fill in the blank here Rebuplicons or Libtards) are changing the rules to enrich myself. This is way more than and important than tax rates and if it were simply tax rates I would be side by side with you.
