Buffet tax rule shot down by richest 1%
First article is about the richest 1% wanting the middle class to pay more in taxes to fix the economy from 2010.
Second article is about the senate voting down the Buffet idea of the richest 1% paying a higher tax rate. This article was from yesterday.
Fucking pisses me off.

Fucking shoot all of them in the face.
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

If there was a Like for that comment I would haha.
 Like
There we go. I'm amazed that Occupy isn't more widespread. Hoping as it warms up more people get out, Oakland went nuts last year. Keep it moving.
Sadly I don't think you'll ever see tens of thousands of people protesting like you saw in Egypt or even on the Occupy day last year throughout Europe
and South America.

It's right in front of us. Blatant. Without secret. It's the same thing that happened in 2008 with the banking industry. Then with the auto
manufactures and housing. They are helped, they are bailed out. They reap the rewards/benefits and we suffer.

I don't really know or get if the whole Occupy thing is doing anything. There is an occupy group in downtown Raleigh, but from all I can tell is they
took over a semi abandoned parking lot and set up tents and put up a couple signs. It appears to be more of a Shanty Town for people who want to camp
in the city than any type of political movement.
Well I've got a feeling I'm gonna get mine in. Retribution let the games begin.

None of it is new stuff really from my point of view.
The rich have been putting the screws to the rest of us since the creation of money.
I could let myself get bent out of shape about it and make myself a little picket sign, but you know what, I have a job.....
While I admire some of the energy and ideals I have seen from the occupy things, not to be a dick, but what are they really doing besides annoying
people, blocking traffic and littering?
They're not informing us of some new deal, in fact, hey all smelled like feces when I had to walk past them when they were "living" outside of city
hall in Philly last fall....all shouting in bullhorns and stuff.
Completely unrelated, well kinda, but I think I might buy a few guns......

The main reason the rich can "steal" our money is because the best we can do is send out disorganized protests that peter out after a few months and
make posts about it on the internet.
They'll buy politicians, they'll lobby their money into more money and we'll start facebook campaigns. I'd steal our money too.

Facebook campaigns can be pretty powerful if you can translate into boots on the ground. I mean, that's what they say happened with Egypt right?
The #1 problem we have in this country is that the whole damn lot of us are complacent and apathetic and it has largely to do with the fact that we
are well fed(even if much of the "food" isn't really feeding us... just making us fat, sick and weak), and really well distracted with TV, movies,
video games and internet drama and bullshit.

Yes Egypt.
We had facebook campaigns here too that helped fuel the Occupy fire to a large degree. Look how far that flash in the pan got people.
We're not Egypt. We cant even figure out how to get off the fucking couch.

^^^^^ 100% agree. Our food, quasi broke luxury lifestyles are empty and weak. We feel like we are getting ahead but we are weak from debt, guilt and
stress. Bled dry by empty promises and hope that our country is really ours. After years of corporate bailouts, empty words and the common person
being left out. Were do you go? What avenue do you seek to regroup and start fighting the good fight for common man? Who starts it?

That's just what I'm saying. We simply don't feel desperate enough to just not give a fuck.
Tunisia, Egypt, Syria, Bahrain etc. Those people are hungry for change and it takes a whole hell of a lot more to get them off the streets than a few
hundred gallons of pepper spray and a billy club. People gave up their lives, and that didn't stop 'em.
It's either we are not in such a dire situation as it would appear we are, or our oppression is so natural to us that we think it's normal and should
be normal. How many of us are straight up brainwashed or so broken down by the shit that we are convinced that we can't change a damn thing?
Hell's bells, in Europe when people want change they riot. In some countries they take to the streets even when it will cost them their lives. What do
we do here? A bunch of our weakest people take to the streets and have drum circles, get the shit kick out of 'em by the police and then condemn the
Black Bloc for fighting back.
The myth of rugged individualism that comforts us at night is such a sham. We are a nation of people that bows to authority mostly without question.

right.
but then again, this whole 1% / 99 % deal is nothing new.
It has always been.
It is just hyped more witht he aid of the internet, in a time where this country is in a fucked state.
But like I said, I don't have the time to go out and get tear gassed by cops with a bunch of squatters cuz I have to go to work every day to pay my
bills and tcob for my family.
my life is actually pretty fucking good.

For one thing we are so completely divided. How is it that we have one group so fucking blind to the fact that we are being fleeced? I was one of
them. The sheep following and hanging on every word by the right. Look I am conservative in my ideals and always will be but I am so frustrated with
the lies, bullshit and deceit. How is it that the one group that preaches so matter of fact that FREE MARKET, KEEP GOVERNMENT OUT OF BUSINESS, SINK OR
SWIM, DON'T TAKE A HANDOUT, and SUCCESS IS BASED ON YOUR ABILITY AND NOT WHAT IS GIVEN TO YOU is the right way. They were the first to stand in line
and be given money. Basically threatening our government to give them the bailouts or else the country suffers. HOW THE FUCK IS THAT POSSIBLE? And how
the fuck is it possible that we sat back and allowed it without supporting the people first?
The division is this. We still have mouth breathers who support the right wing bullshit of FREE MARKET, LESS GOVERNMENT AND LESS TAXES FOR THE
WEALTHY. FREE MARKET HEALTHCARE. They are the first assholes to tell the sheep to support them and fight the fight, but who is really benefiting from
those empty promises? The rich. It's like everyone ignores what went down in 2008 and 2009.

President Obama was just at a Community College in the city I live yesterday. He stated that it is good that school like that get people the education
to work, I'm fucking unemployed with a degree and haven't had a fucking call from a single application since being laid off in November. And there is
so many more just like me just in my county. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU PRAISE THIS TOWN WHEN SO MANY ARE SCARED, BROKE AND CONFUSED? Now today Romney will
be in Lorain one town over and trying to rally the troops on his side. At of all places a small manufacturing business that pays low wages, but has
been boasting profits. WAKE UP!

If you try to toss a frog into boiling water, he'll jump right out. If you put him in cold water and increase the heat gradually, he'll sit there and
boil to death.

O and yesterday was the same day I got a letter saying that my PELL GRANT will expire and because of changes in the law I will no longer be able to
receive it. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO? I'm unemployed, and can't pay to finish the rest of my education because I have no savings. I am up to my eyeballs
in student loans and barely have enough to cover any future classes. So how do I finish my education, to get the training, to get that job Mr. Obama?
We are all sheep, or as j whistle just said, frogs.

Clevo, i thought you were a Police officer?
And yeah man I hear ya on all you just wrote above.
the lines are not clearly drawn.
I think the conservative / liberal deal is just a way of identifing oneslelf and insulting the other.
The whole"I am more conservative then thee" argument is laughable.
I am only able to type in fragments as I am sneaking on at work in a minimised wndow trying not to get sleauthed.....
but make no mistake, I am pretty fed up just with hearing these politicians speaking
