Sorry, the last one with the camp and stuff, is a really "lazy" excuse. You don`t have the resources to be aware of what is happening? No need to camp outside, feel free to contribute to the cause your way. And no need to bash the people who manage to have the resources you don`t WANT to have. You can afford escorts ? You do have the resources then :-)) (sorry to say) Maybe they are all freelancers and work with their iPads, who knows?
You can`t judge people if you have not seen them actually not having jobs and taking your money. The people I know participating in this movement do indeed have good jobs, and savings to contribute to as much causes as they wish. Many of them are indeed in a position to divide their time as they please as well. Go figure. Their are people out there who don`t have the usual 24/7 and 9 to 5 jobs. So these usual burgeouise statements don`t fly with me.
And i doubt that there are always the "same" people camping. And if - it might be possible that some people are REALLY INTERESTED IN POLITICS that they are taking the risks and the time to devote their money and life to it. Ever thought of that? - That does not mean that i am denying that their are unemployed people out there as well, but even those do something more useful with their time than hanging at home like bums.
Being too busy to do something about harsh misjudgements is a very lazy excuse, no offense.
As to your comparison with my rate: If i were in your locations and cater to locals my rates probably would not be so high. I am catering to an international audience and long term Sugardaddies and Sponsors. That is a different approach, does not mean i have more income in the long run. Plus, logics don`t fly separate for me when it comes to business responsibilities
So, there is no inequality per se, because nevertheless i still pay the same percentage of tax income like any other provider does regardless of rates. Besides, i don`t get special bailouts or interest rates if i take credits.
Plus, if i intentionally mislead people offering them "services" i don`t do and such, i would be ruined in a minute. And, i HAVE worked at lower rates longer in my life, like all hard working people do and now i am in a position to demand those rates. I have the sources, the savings and the style. I worked hard to get there. There are plenty of providers out there who have similar and even higher rates than i have and have no clue what that actually means. Just look at some homepages and some business strategies. I had to start from scratch as well. And i actually know many sides of that business, which makes me less arrogant towards my fellow provider collegues unlike some women who come from middle class, have functioning family backgrounds and only support their need for luxury that way. I come from a very different angle, the exact angle of "equality" that you try to take from me by pointing out my rates.
As to your comparison with the videos. My god. I have seen people of all political agendas bloating all kinds of stupidity across the net. Tea Party members are indeed homophobe and i have heard many of them refer to black people as somehow inferior. You should be grown up enough to make a distinction - like i do - between personal opinions of single people catering to a cause AND the CAUSE ITSELF. Stick to the points. Tea Party Members have them and OWS have them too. Drunk idiots aside. To come to the conclusion that some social movement is invalid because of some youtube video is scatterbrained IMHO, no offense.
So - i refuse to see the point you are trying to make, it does not make sense to me. But thanks for trying :-)
