Here is my solution to the Wall Street protest. I would have to believe that these morons don't go to school or have any job. I couldn't take this much time off. I have to believe their parents are wealthy or at least employed by a company listed on Wall Street. So, these morons are bums. They are takers. So, I suggest we give. We should give them a cruise. There a many ships in the "moth ball" fleet with nothing to do. We should put the morons on the ships, put the ships on suto pilot and have them sail out to sea. When far enough offshore, our great Navy should have torpedo praactice and sink the ships. This accomplishes a few things. One, it gets rid of an Obumma voting block. Two, the sunken ships will create a reef that is friendly to sea life. These are two great accomplishments. It's a great visual. See y'all at the bar. BARTENDER.........

POP: Is this Fairy Tale Friday? I almost spit my coffee all over my keyboard. These cannot be legitimate demands.

Demand Number Eleven bothers me because I have no debt.

If they get close to a compromise and number eleven is still in it, I'll have to do a 24 hour stint of wreckless spending, so I can benefit from it.

Well, I will be laughing my way to the bar..I'm flying up there today, so I'll be there sooner. someone, please save me a seat.

POP: Enjoy your days off. See you soon.

I don't know about the IQ of these pritesters but their maturity level us around 7-8.

Donation intervewed them and they were protesting Ibama, but that wasn't racist. Only the Tea Party is racist for criticizing Obsma. And Hetman Cain us racist.

It's an Obama world. Like Dr Michael Savage Savage says "

liberalism is a mental disease"

Good morning all, this morning we will be having Ramen noodles and the heel of a loaf bread since this is all that we can afford. First we need to heat some water for the ramen, we will be using our candle to do this as we couldn’t afford pay both the power bill and gas to get to work. After the water has reached warmth, place the noodle in the pot and wait a half hour then mix in the seasoning and remove from the heat. Next waive the heel over the candle flame until toasted, bon appétit.

“The first demand calls for the restoration of the living wage by ending free trade. A part of this demand concerns the minimum wage which should be raised to $20 per hour. I think that's fair.”

Free trade agreements are nothing more than a license for American businesses to send their work overseas. Import tariffs equalize the playing field and bring jobs back to this country. This is economics 101. As the biggest consumer in the world America should be the most protected.

“Demand number two calls for the banning of all private insurers and the introduction of a single payer healthcare system. Sound familiar?”

Yes it does, the entire industrialized world has done this. The Military does this, many states have done this, and for god sake even Cuba has done this. What’s the problem?

“Demand number three calls for a guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment. I have no idea what this means but it sounds good.”

It means that you can’t pay a waitress $1.50 per hour neither unemployment benefits that equate to $5 per hour in some states. It means that the money that is being horded at the top must be funneled to the bottom if the country is going to survive, again economics 101.

“Demand number four insists upon a free college education for one and all. Yay!!!”

Free Federal and state run education would guarantee America’s success in the techno world. Free educations would bring down the price of healthcare, technology, energy, and much more.

“Demand number five wants to bring the fossil fuel economy to an end replacing it with all those wonderful alternative energy programs. Think windmills!”

It is going to happen sooner or later, sticking your head in the sand isn’t going to change it. We should be working toward this goal. Even the most ignorant of people understand that when the water well begins to run dry, its time to look for another place to live.

“Demand number six is asking for one trillion dollars for infrastructure spending. I can't see a problem with this can you?”

Since Bush spent 15 trillion destroying the country I think that a few trillion trying to save it is a fair price.

“Demand number seven wants an additional trillion dollars for ecological restoration. It also wants to put all of our nuclear reactors out of commission. Sounds like a plan!”

Ecological restoration = jobs and a better world. Lets see if you have the same view about nuclear power when we have a problem here that renders an entire state uninhabitable. But then again you would just blame that on president Obama.

“Demand number eight wants a racial and gender equal rights amendment.

Demand number nine is simply wonderful. It calls for open border migration so that anyone, Al-Qaeda included, can travel anywhere to work and to live. What a fabulous idea!”

Why is it that Republicans have no problem with an open Canadian border, but raise holy hell about the Mexican border?

“Demand number ten wants a paper ballot for all elections that can be counted and recounted in front of independent and party observers. Why not have ACORN be in charge?”

Why would this worry you?

“Demand number eleven is simply fantastic. It calls for across the board debt forgiveness of all debt, including sovereign debt, commercial loans, home mortgages, home equity loans, credit card debt, student loans and personal loans. Yippee!”

The only thing that has sustained the current Trickle Down system is the infusion of money through loans which further deplete the income of the bottom recipients and the government’s intervention. It’s time to reset the system in order to save the economy.

“Demand number twelve wants to eliminate all credit reporting agencies. Good riddance!”

These agencies have almost governmental power over the people without governmental oversight. They can keep you from gaining employment, starting a business, acquiring a license and more. Within their reports you are guilty until proven innocent, and that can take months and even years to fix.

“The final demand would allow all workers to sign a ballot at any time to form a union. How sweet it is!”

Again, why would you fear this? If a company cannot pay the wages demanded by society, then they should not be in business. Collective bargaining enables the people to control the countries monetary system. When higher profits are made by a company the balance of wealth is held in check by the union. This is good for all involved as it ensures that workers of a society have the ability to purchase the goods and services that companies provide.

I agree that we all have the right to our opinions. And I love my country. As far as the best healthcare in the world, yes, the system with which we pay for it absolutely not. You are under the impression that you are not paying for the healthcare of the uninsured, but you are. Why do you think that the price of healthcare is so high? Doctors and hospitals pass along the cost of the uninsured to the insured .It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that a pool that contains 100 people of which 75 are making claims will have much larger premiums than a pool of 1 million in which 50% are making claims. The greater the size of the pool the more likely it is to have healthy people paying into it.

No one is calling for socialism in these demands, and the current state of our economy is proof that unfettered capitalism does not work. The simple truth is that any economy that does not have an equal flow of currency from bottom to top and back again will eventually fail. If water is continually drained from a lake and none is returned the lake will empty and dry up. Once the money is gone from the bottom of our economy then there is no money to by the goods and services from those at the top. It’s the simplest thing to understand.

And by the way Steve Jobs was a staunch Democrat.

First, The Wall Street Journal report said that 44% of household had someone receiving some sort of government benefits. This ranges from the elderly receiving S.S.I., veterans receiving retirement or disability to food stamps. The word household means a family unit which encompasses ma, paw and children and other family members that happen to live there like granny and granddad. So get your facts straight.

Next, your gripe about a dependant class is the same gripe that you and your pals have with unions, you think that they are the reason you lost the last election and nothing more. When your men are in power we never here you gripe about either. And by the way it was your man that destroyed the economy and forced Americans into poverty. Geroge bush amassed a whopping fifteen trillion dollars worth of debt, killed the housing industry, bailed out his banking buddies and left with his finger in the air. These are the verifiable facts.

Finally, you wouldn’t know socialism if it slapped you in the face, all you do is repeat what you hear from Hannity and Limbaugh each day.

Dear Breakfastpop,

Will said, "so you know what you can do with your beloved socialism." a statement telling me to shove it up my @#&%$

and you say to him,"Of course I agree with you completely. If more people had your mind set and integrity, we would be in a better place right now."

I said, "Finally, you wouldn’t know socialism if it slapped you in the face, all you do is repeat what you hear from Hannity and Limbaugh each day."

and you reply, "This is my place. I welcome anyone to the breakfast table, but I don't welcome nasty comments. I have no desire to change your mind about anything and unless we can remain civil I see no point to talking further."

Thank You for the invite.

I understand that it is easy to blame the housing crisis or people making bad decisions for the state of our economy, but these are only the symptoms of a disease that has been eating us alive for decades. In the Republican world of Supply Side or Trickle Down Economics, the wealthy are given tax breaks to encourage them to invest that money and create more jobs. In turn those who benefit from those jobs purchase products which allows the business profit, grow and create more jobs. This would be a perfect system if the wealthy stayed true to the system. What has happened over the past four decades is that the rich have kept the vast majority of the tax break money and the profits from sale. The evidence of this is the fact that wages have only risen a small percentage over this time period and the accumulation of wealth has skyrocketed. In any monetary system there is fixed amount of currency, when the top percentile accumulate over 90% of the countries currency then it becomes impossible fro the bottom percentile to buy goods. When this happens, businesses lay off workers and lowers wages to make up the difference, which causes there to be even less money at the bottom to purchase product, and so on. When the banks were lending money they were only postponing the inevitable by infusing the bottom with cash. But when it finally became impossible to meet the payments the inevitable occurred. The only way out of this mess is to re-balance the system through taxation and the infusing of cash back into the bottom.

If you constantly remove water from a lake and pump it to the mountains without an adequate feedback to the lake, the lake will run dry.

The accumulated wealth of a country cannot be more than 50% of the total currency or a domino effect takes place that will destroy its economy.

if the just printed it they wouldn't need to borrow it, and there wouldn't be a debt. the fed holds some money in reserve, this is the money that released by the fed. the next time you want to be a smart %$#$# know what your talking about.
