They claim that they speak for the 99% of us, the silent majority, but they don't. They definitely don't speak for me.
I've listened to some of their messages, and have read some of their complaints and statements. They're trying to leverage their numbers, and messages, to get something they should really be working for.
They basically think that the rich and super rich are colluding with each other to make as much money as possible from our backs... then turn around and keep us under the economic thumb. They think that the rich and super rich should give up more money in taxes so that big daddy government could fix things.
Some people think the rich giving up more of their money to the government would result in the rest of the population being wealthy.
They don't realize that the rich and super rich pay a lion's share of the federal income taxes collected. They also don't realize that the rich and super rich pay a lion's share of non government consumer spending.
Those of us below the 50% income bracket are just here for the ride.
They bitch about corporations and businesses refusing to hire more people. But, they conveniently forget the fact that many of them voted for the politicians that embrace policies that tend to give the job creators the jitters.
These people are trying to have it both ways... an administration that'll push us closer to socialism, and corporation and business owners willing to act like they're in an economic boom despite the government making America less business friendly.
Those people should be looking for jobs, regardless of how many rejections they've gotten. While they're waiting for a job offer, they need to crack open a history book... one that hasn't been revised... and start reading so that they could understand what America is really about.
One of the things they'll find out is that our founders would've never embraced their thought process.
Again, these people don't speak for me, not even by a long shot.
