yo, for as smart as you guys like to brag you are...you dudes sure cant read or comprehend AT ALL...
"how ignorant do you have to be to have an expectation of society based upon you fullfilling society's expectation of you?"
lemme guess, your father is a banker?
no, you're a 2nd year finance student who's gonna be CEO of some bank soon?
this dude thought a b and c was "take out a loan"
not "go to college"
LMAO
morons, man, i tell you.
i bet he makes 4 times as much as me a year.
im not whining, im just stating facts about how $@$!!* up our society is.
If you must know, in 2009 I was an Economics major working at a financial institution and was slated for a fast-tracked executive leadership program position. I had my life figured out and was sitting pretty. Then, I received word that the program I was planning my entire life around was cut with no explanations and no pats on the back.
Did I sit down and blame the government, dividend seeking investors or bloated CEOs? No, I finished my degree and applied for jobs while continuing to gain work experience at my bank. I was working alongside people with GEDs who were making more than me. I knew more about finance than my manager.
Your argument is that people who go to college deserve something for the simple fact they went to college. Regardless of their intellectual capacity, work ethic, grades and abilities, they deserve something. I have never heard a more asinine argument in my life. And then you have the nerve to say it is an injustice of our society. Let me try your way of debating to help you understand my views:
I like this guy

Lol @ living off my parents struggles, real life and you probably wouldn't understand this, but all my mother did was give me an opportunity, a shot...she didn't push me to go to college, she didn't help me late night with homeworks, she didn't tell me wat would be a good career choice or paid for anything besides the roof on my head and the food I ate while I was with her....you know NOTHING.
And living comfortable, well I don't live like a king, I pay bills like everyone else, made a jump at a mortgage right before the market dipped, so literally a month after I purchased my apt dropped about 30k in value...did I cry to everyone about how I got done dirty???...NO, just hopped on the L train, along with everyone else....I own a 40k car which if I was to sell I wouldn't even get half of what I paid no more than 3 years ago...again MY CHOICE...I've been dealt the same hand as the average American, I'm no different than the majority ofthe people out protesting, if anything they probably had more opportunities than I did...what is there to sympathize with?

this is bigger than you bruh...why don't you stop talking about yourself and talk about the real economics, the real social history, and the real political significance which make up the situation.
over-inflated egos...these bankers have nothing to fight with...other than their capital which is disintegrating by the second

Do people actually think that higher taxes on corporations will not result in higher prices for goods and services?

Im not rich by no means yet but I am getting my entrepreneur on and doing better than most my age.
The only thing separating an employee from a CEO/Owner is knowledge not education. There are books available to EVERYONE that literally walk you through how to build a business and become wealthy. If you want it its out there for you.
I wish people would get this whoa is me sentiment out of their head. Maybe it will be harder on you now because you're married with 3 kids and $20,000 in debt. You dont have the time to create a business but who's fault is that the "powers that be?" Not saying that having a family is a mistake but you cant have your cake and eat it too.
America is the greatest country in the world there are vast opportunities for everyone. Your past is nobody's fault but your own. The people at the top are looking out for themselves..Why dont you?

I wish people would really examine and analyze what is going on here instead of framing it within the whims of these protestors...these protestors represent popular sentiment to an overall dying culture and social hierarchy
This economy is at a DEAD halt. Your over here talking about knowledge but then you went to talk about books that 'walk you through' starting a business and acquiring welath?
that 'get money' mentality is not gonna maintain any kind of longevity bruh...you have to look deeper than the surface...have an ideology other than the shallow capitalist of the old world.

Yeah..I'm gonna explain how since I know you personally and thoroughly...
and I haven't been protesting...I'm a boss +!@@%. I'm in a position to succeed in this environment and initaite true material changes for the people who have slaved away to make America what it is without being properly compensated.

good, let them camp out and riot ... That's what the second amendment is for ... I have a 12 gauge and a .45 if they cross my threshold ...
I have more faith in the people in our country than that. You don't have to give up all your money but this mentality of taking million dollar bonuses while laying off employees is insane. What happened to taking care of your employees? What happened to employees, along with your customers, and shareholders, all being important to the corporation?

People are making it into a microeconomics issue, when in reality it is a macro economics issue. Major overhaul needed, and you can not sit and tell me there aren't thousands if not millions of bachelor degree - level jobs out there in the barely tapped potential that is clean energy.
