Herman Cain to Occupy Wall Street protesters: If you're not rich 'blame yourself

[bike nut]

Oh yes, plenty of Tea Party members have been arrested for disorderly conduct...lets not forget the Tea Party member who shot up Gifford and all those people in Arizona but that doesn't make any difference.  This isn't fucking China, people have a right to protest and they are not blocking anyone on Wall Street from going to work or destroying property....

Jared Loughner was not a member of the fucking Tea Party you moron. He voted Independent, but the left-wing media sure as hell did everything they could to paint him as a Tea Partyer within minutes of finding out he was the shooter.

Wade Rathke and Stephen Lerner put this Wall St. protest together. Its not a secret, they made announcements on the internet. If you waiting for Soros or Obama to come out and say they are behind this, it aint gonna happen. Its a ruse, a diversionary protest. These are Obama voters who are so fucking stupid, they dont even realize that Obama is, and has been in bed with the very devil they are trying to exorcise. Obama's cabinet is made up of former Fed and Wall St execs. Obama is in trouble and knows it, his only hope is a double dose of stupid that happened in 2008. If he can get enough of the ignorant to turn against the people who sign their paychecks, he might stand a chance. This administration has been a boon for unions and welfare organizations, they will stop at nothing to get 4 more years of the raping and pillaging of the US taxpayer. Its a hell of scam they have going with this stimulus money. Pump billions into union green jobs that have zero chance of succeeding, the owners and workers take their cuts, donate a portion of it back to Obama in campaign contributions, then go belly up on the tax payer.

Fuck you're dumb......

I hope this guy gets the nomination....he's exactly what we need!


Unemployed Wall Street protesters only have themselves to blame for lacking a job, so says Herman Cain.

The Republican presidential candidate insisted that the demonstrations were being "orchestrated" to help President Obama.

"I don't have the facts to back this up, but I happen to believe that these demonstrations are planned and orchestrated to distract from the failed policies of the Obama Administration," Cain told the Wall Street Journal.

The Tea Party favorite then argued that the plight of the unemployed was their own fault.

"Don't blame Wall Street, don't blame the big banks, if you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself. It is not someone's fault if they succeeded, it is someone's fault if they failed," the ex-Godfather's Pizza CEO declared.

The fiery remarks come as protest organizers plan for their biggest demonstrations yet -- at least 2,000 people are expected to gather in lower Manhattan Wednesday.

Last week, 700 protesters who spilled onto the streets near the Brooklyn Bridge were arrested on charges of disorderly conduct.

Cain acknowledged that the banking industry played a role in the 2008 economic meltdown, but argued they were no longer responsible.

"They did have something to do with the crisis that we went into in 2008, but we're not in 2008, we're in 2011," Cain said."...These demonstrations, I honestly don't understand what they're looking for. To me, they come across more as anti-capitalism."

Cain's campaign has been picking up steam since he won Florida's straw poll last month.

And in a recent Rasmussen Reports poll, Cain trails Obama by just five points in a head-to-head matchup.

So Coach, this means you are 100% going to vote for him?

A Liberal moron's answer to cold hard facts......."umm, whatever".

 

[bike nut]

And these people don't deserve to protest??  Are they not Americans???  Wasn't our country founded on the Constitution and the First Amendment???  Are they any different than the Tea Party Protesters???  
Like it or not, they are not there on Wall Street just for shits and giggles.  

They are on Wall Street because they're brainless puppets.....ACORN and the SEIU are behind this 100% as shown by their past actions.

According to journalist Aaron Klein, the September 17 New York City protests—which ultimately drew about 1,000 participants—apparently represented “the culmination” of a campaign by Wade Rathke, founder of ACORN and president of an SEIU local in New Orleans, who in March 2011 had issued a call for “days of rage in ten cities around JP Morgan Chase.” Rathke's efforts were supported by Stephen Lerner, an SEIU board member and radical-left organizer who candidly aims to “destabilize the folks that are in power and start to rebuild a movement”; “bring down the stock market”; “bring down [the] bonuses” of executives in the financial sector; and “interfere with their ability to ... be rich.”

To top it all off, we had a left-winged goofball from NPR, who has "brown relief" because the shooter was a "gringo", not Hispanic like her. To hell, with the six folks who got killed or Congresswoman Giffords, who almost joined them. All that matters was that the killer was white.

NPR

you would do well to listen

[Mr. Magoo]

Those people in your link are idiots for the most part, not that I believe half of what they're dating. If you had to take a guess what do you think most of those people majored in? Engineering? Computer science?

I don't think these people are idiots (Posted again in case anybody cares http://wearethe99percent.tumblr.com/). Take for instance what is now the first picture on the page (I THINK it adds more daily, I'm not sure if it's daily or different times during the day) It is an 89 year old guy. The card says and I quote "I'm 89 years old. Refinancing my mortgages and new interest rates sent me to Bankruptcy. I've lost it all. Humanity before Greed. I am the 99%" Would you seriously call him an idiot? Would you take Cain's stance and tell him to basically suck it up and it's ALL his own fault. Seriously?

What about the (what looked like 15-16 year old) girl who held up a sign saying their family couldn't afford to pay for her dads cancer treatment and he couldn't afford to stop working, so he died. Or the husband that held up a sign saying his wife worked 80 hours a week to pay for her cancer treatment. There are pages and pages of this stuff. Calling them "idiots for the most part" is dangerous. It's turning a blind eye to those that have serious problems and are getting zero political recognition.

These are not all lazy college grads who partied their asses off in college while majoring in communications who after college thought "well shit, I fucked up, I think I'll protest". Yes some are like that, but that is NOT enough to discredit the entirety of those without jobs who can't make ends meet. I think Cain made that leap in his statement, and I find it faulty and dangerous.

The most racist organizations in AZ are the "brown pride" groups like La Raza. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) is one of the most racist politicians in the country. He is pro-illegal, pro drug cartel, and openly anti-American.

Anyone who lives here knows it.

The top 5% always sell the idea that you can be rich like me. This is like a pro athlete or top singer saying anyone can be like me.
No matter how you slice it the top 5% will always be above the rest of us in the lower 95%.
You can't fit most of the population in the upper 5-10%. Basic statistics and logic here.
The odds are MOST of us will live in the mddle class and that is why GOV needs to have laws that are good for the 80% who live in the middle.

Boss, I'm NOT in the top 5%.

Here we go again with the grandioso achievement " nobel prize" " Pro athletes" " top singer" lol Thats a far cry from being wealthy!

If you're JUST a fire fighter, school teacher, construnction worker or personal trainer then no you're not going to be rich. But if you perform market research, develop a plan and WORK your plan to completion, save money and live UNDER your means, then over many years it is possible to have a high net worth.

I swear the ambition in these parts is shockingly low. 
I bet your significant other is just thrilled w/ your outlook

ok so you're in a "union" excuse me!

Dude, that is exactly the truth.  Rich are rich because they take risks and work hard, and 9 times out of 10 are smarter.  I have employees, I make substantially more money than them, but I am smarter, and I take all of the risk.  It is just easier to step up the scale when you start making a certain amount.  Doors seem to open.  I tell you what, going from $40k to $80k a year was way harder than going from $80k to $160k.  Just the way it is, it's like the addage, it takes money to make money to run a business.  Well, the same is true in life.  Once you get a little more money, it's easier to accrue more wealth.  On a macro level one may feel inclined to feel bad for the poor, but when you look at each case, more often than not, the poor are poor because they made/make bad decisions.  I have a few that work for me now, and once they're in that position, they are easily exploited.

This is the truth that the dumb, lazy and poor people fail to realize
