I dunno he kinda makes a point...

Public school systems work the same way. Services provided by the government paid for by the people (truly a socialist construct) result in these issues simply because, per year, there is no way to say, "okay you have $1 bil for the next 20 years," because it may be too much or may not be enough.. budgets are set every year only to be constantly readjusted to match the end of year goal. Everything is dependent on the appearance of need. If a department doesn't appear to need anything, they can probably live with less... If they don't keep their budgetary requirements up then they get slashed left and right until there is nothing left.

With that said it also causes bloat and overspending to end up with more money the following year and that is why fiscal conservatives are pissed at things like the BoE and their take on public schooling. Yeah, it sucks, but how do you control a system as large as it is when there is no one there to take the reins? As Shiftin is saying, the human condition (in terms of work ethics) appears to be more along the lines of survive, not thrive.

OWS comes off statistically similar to a randomly selected sample of US population even though they aren't at all randomly selected. Pretty much the definition of a popular movement. Compare to early tea party stats: old white conservative bigots.

A direct refutation of the "dirty unemployed hippie" fallacy still being propagated by the corporate media and parroted by idiots around the country and on this board.

Out of about 20-30 people in Raleigh (the standard sized night time group in a normally low profile non protest town):

*** there is one man that worked for Nortel making over $100k+ a year as an engineer, worked for Bell South (I think it was Bell South.. I can't remember the details all that well) was in the National Guard, currently works as a pastor/handler for the homeless after being laid off from a variety of contractor jobs after Nortel shit the bed

*** a 55+ year old couple who both work and show up after work still dressed up in businesswear

*** a business owner that looks like a hippy

*** full-time college students

*** full-time college students that work

*** post-grad college students

*** post-grad college students with part time jobs

*** post-grad college students with full time jobs

*** a 57 year old handicapped homemaker mother of 2 or 3

*** a police force who either antagonize or made secret dropoffs of supplies

[Aadill]

whoops forgot a few

*** college dropouts with full time jobs

*** high school graduate (only one I know of) that works a part time job

And no I am not one paycheck from bankruptcy I am quite comfortable in my upper middle class status (6 figure income kid) I have been in this bracket since the 80's and will stay here the rest of my life and am happy with that.
You need to crawl off the oh woe is me wagon and get on the I can do it wagon
I believe if more people had the can do attitude of previous generations(which I am a part of) we would not be having these problems.
And yes the decaying American education system is partially to blame since they pumped out so far 2 generations of people who can hardly do basic math

Nice anecdotal evidence of "hard work." I have more money than you, but I still recognize the need for systemic change. I care about America even though being in the highest tax bracket. Why? Because there's no need for someone to have 100s of millions of dollars. Most monied people in the US come from dynastic wealth, not hard work. Being rich doesn't make you better. Do you understand?

So go fuck yourself, you self-righteous, smarmy hypocrit.

and a few more:

*** ~40 y/o working moms (who I really wish would just be a little quieter at times)

*** two homeless people (one of which is handled by the guy who is the Nortel engineer/now pastor and the other of which has a storage unit and camp at the other end of the city.. he rides the bus each day to be at the protest.

Hey guys.

No time to cry in a park shitting in a circle with a bunch of unemployed vagrant slobs.

Harrison left out the fact that his "job" is cutting deli meat at Kroger.

I see all your hard work in life really paid off there, Mr. Bigshot.

On the internet, you're "I eat coal and shits diamonds" because in real life it's "I'll take a 1/2 pound of American and 1/2 pound of smoked turkey."

Acting like an idiot and waisting time and resources won't change anything.

All the 80 hr a week raiding players need to donate good quality gear to noobs who dont play much or at all.

Same concept.
