Hey 53% ers
A quick note. I also work 2 jobs. 80-100 hour weeks. I'm a 53%er too. I'm also a 99%er. You know why? Because I am not fucking stupid enough to be so self-righteous that I'm going to defend a country that FORCES me to work 100 hour weeks just so my family can have food, shelter and medication.

When the government is under budget I am not stupid enough to think that the money to fix it ought to come from the 53% of people who are working two jobs and still can't pay their bills. I am also not stupid enough to think it should come from someone who is unemployed or underemployed. But hey, if you want to go around acting like a fucking idiot who am I to stop you. Maybe if you get more than 20 or 30 people you can start your own protests and I'll send you some pizza.

Oh wait, you live in a country where you work too hard to have any time to exercise the freedoms and rights you so vehemently defend. Sorry. Go back to your little notebook pages. :rofl:

1. Yeah, well, YOU have a brain in your head
and you care about people other than yourself. So I guess that does make you special. And those individuals in the 53%, if they're not in the 1%, are really too ignorant for words.

5. I believe
you're still wearing one of those pairs of childhood undies... your blood pressure will drop if your clothes aren't so tight.
