Everyone seems to have an opinion of the wall street protestors. Well, I wish I could add some bold, contrary to the general consensus view on it, but it's just too obvious both what it is and what it's not. It is a move for revolution and socialism in America to honor Karl Marx.
The protestors are not a right wing conspiracy to demonize President Obama. I hear this about a lot of protests and, to be honest, yes it does happen. It's so commonplace, there's a name for it, they're called "Protest warriors." What protest warriors do is walk into protests and make large signs and loudly proclaim an extreme version of the view. An example of this is for an anti-war protest for Bush, people walk in with signs saying "Bush should be assassinated." The goal of this is that the more moderate protestors don't want to associate with something so extreme so they leave, thus making the protest smaller or non-existent. If this is what the right-wing is trying to do, clearly they're failing because the protest is growing. I'm against protest warriors in general when you're on the right because the left doesn't really get scared off by extreme views. I think "Bush is a Nazi" would be an excellent protest warrior sign considering Bush, last I checked, didn't order the murder of 6,000,000 civilians. Yet, all over Greenwich Village and college campuses across the nation, this was a common sign. So, you really can't be too extreme for these people. If the right-wing is doing this, stop, clearly it isn't working.
The protestors are not a group backed by President Obama to create class warfare and turn the middle and lower class against the upper class. Although I believe President Obama's ideas and term champions the spirit of this, I do not believe it was a conscious deliberate act that he backed and created. I hear, "Remember, Obama was a street organizer in Chicago" that's cute, but he didn't organize this one.
The protestors are unorganized, spoiled, whiny little bitches. When you interview them, they don't seem to know why they're out there. One guy said, "I think we should legalize marijuana" well, I'm glad he knows the significance of why he's there. What happened is, the 4% of college students that graduate and are unemployed (yes, the number is that low) bitch and moan about no jobs, yet they aren't willing to work their way up. They think, "Hey, I graduated college, I should be guaranteed at least 60,000 a year even though I have no work experience." They scoff at $ 7/hr jobs and refuse to work their way up the way that almost every single successful person did. The reason why 90% of businesses fail when it's inherited is that the entitlement that people feel they deserve for graduating college or because their parents were successful doesn't work! No matter what governent programs, inheritance, subsidies, etc. etc. are in place, hard work and working your way to the top is still the best way to be successful. The protestors don't understand that, they want a job managing or trading at a bank, not as a mere teller. When I graduated, I had this mentality, I was promised $ 60,000 a year working for my dad. The only catch was I wouldn't be allowed to live in New York anymore. So, I took my unexperience ass and hit the job market hard, I worked recruiting college kids in Kentucky, I sold office supplies business to business, I took any shit job that I could get until I found one that adequately paid my bills. I learned real quick that the sense of entitlement I had in college was pathetic, moronic and downright ascenine. So, the protestors are whiny, violent, little bitches and I have absolutely no sympathy for them.
