If I choose to waste my time following two threads about the same topic, chances are I'm a 99-percenter.

Sorry, but not everyone is able to get grants and a free ride to college. My brother is currently $180k, graduated high school with a 4.0 gpa, plus extra curricular activities, but couldnt get a scholarship or any grants. his 1st year roomate was from the same HS, had a 2.9 gpa and got a free ride through 4 years because of a race based scholarship (both to a state school). How is that fair? Quote:

People (which businesses are made of) have a right to do what they want with their private property/money. It's not fair that big businesses can buy their way into getting a policy they want. But it's also not fair that a bunch of screaming idiot college students or bored middle class white people can scream and threaten a politician to get their policy enacted. In theory we need to elect leaders who will enforce the constitution/law without outside influence. That way no matter how much money a business gives to a politician or how much screaming some union goons or tea partiers do, the person in power will do the right thing. But as much as I hate either side I will not deny them the right to do with their money what they please nor will I deny the OWS crowd the right to bitch and moan.

1. Read this part of the law of the land. http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/articlev 2. What the flying fuck do you think that is there for? The whole fucking point of the legislative branch is to write law. The whole fucking point of voting for these jerkoffs is to ensure that laws of the land reflect the values of society. Not yesterdays society Not some fucking fable society from comic books TODAYS society. Every individual has a right to bitch to there elected representative and request change in the law. Any group of like minded individuals can band together a do the same. If they want to call themselves teapartiers or the 99% who gives a flying fuck. They all have the right. If GE wants to spend 20million a year on lobbyist it is their right. FYI - In the United states there is NO ONE PERSON IN POWER. Learn about your own fucking government. Quick lesson Legislative branch makes law Executive branch enforces it Judicial makes sure the laws are legit In our system each branch can whack the other with a rolled up newspaper Go stand in a corner somewhere and think about what you've done. |

Isn't that what a Government is SUPPOSED to be? Or have you lost sight of "for the people by the people"? |

Probelm is that big corps are unfairly tipping the scales in their favor through anonymous campaign donations and spending just crazy shit loads of money, that 99% of the rest of the country can't spend because they just don't have it. And yes screaming (not threatening, unless you are threatening not to vote for the guy) at politicians is how its supposed to be done, thats the point of free speech as originally written. Quote:
2) yes, asshole
