Occupy this!

Okay, so it has been forever since I really had anything posted up here, but I have had it this week. I am sure everyone in America, and as the news media says now the whole world, has heard all about those silly people "occupying wall street". It is said their mantra is "down with corporate greed".
Well, first off it has been made known, at least here on a local television news station, that not everyone knows exactly what they're protesting. A "random sample", if you will, was taken of a few people in one of the crowds here, and their messages for the protest ranged from health care issues to the more famous "down with corporate greed".
I find this quite amusing. It would seem as if these people did not entirely coordinate their efforts as well as they should have.
At any rate, in reality, are not these protesters contradicting themselves? What does their contempt truly stem from? GREED. They complain of only a few having all the money in the country, and the world. While that is true, it should not make those wealthy people public enemy number one. Is it their fault that they, or someone in their lineages, took the initiative and decided to make their lives different? They wanted something, and they took it through their own efforts. They did not want somebody to cut them a check. THIS IS AMERICA PEOPLE! THE SKY IS THE LIMIT ON WHAT WE CAN HAVE! If you want something, you work and sweat until you get it. It is so unfortunate that so many in the rising generations are under this false impression that they are entitled to whatever they want, even after no effort on their part.
You know what I think? I think these protesters are greedy themselves, and that this whole ordeal stems from GREED. I also think these people embody COMMUNISM in its very essence. Their crying out of such an injustice and their sob stories are getting old. They want to "redistribute the wealth", BUT THAT IS NOT HAPPENING HERE IN AMERICA! Here's an idea...CRY ME A RIVER, BUILD A BRIDGE, AND GET OVER IT! Work for what you want.

There have been lots of stories from talk radio about some of the craziness coming from the occupy wall street people. I would much rather be at a tea party event.

Herman Cain was right about this group. If they are poor, it is their own fault.
