'Occupy' types

This is what happens when the people become to dependent on gov and think the gov. should provide for them. They ran out of money and the stupid protestors don't have the brains to realize there is no more money. Same thing will happen here if we don't control our spending.

Hey, here's a idea? Try stop going to war so we can bolster our buddies oil stocks and the military industry's as well.

It's driven us to bankruptcy. Why? Because of our crooked politicians. That's why.

No. I'm pissed at the right people. Who do you think owns a majority of stock in America? You guessed it. The rich. The rich are going to look after each other. It's what they do, it's what they always will do.

The majority of middle class American can't afford apple stocks, or oil stocks, or any other corporate type stock.

Oftentimes, the biggest owner of stocks are investment companies who sell things like mutual funds, and a fair amount of Americans do invest in mutal funds. Apple, for example, has 70% of its shares held by "Institutional and Mutal Fund Owners".

And while the rich might support certain favors from government, at the same time, they are vying for customers. Every business owner, no matter how large or small, will fight for survival of their own before anyone else.

Its also said that the spending has kept our freedom and what price would you put on freedom. I agree we need to cut military spending. As far as GDP we really do not spend that much more then other Countries.

Iwas going to explain that to him but was too lazy.

When ranked by % of GDP we are 9th behind mostly smaller countries like Oman, Jordan & Chad. Israel also spends more (%GDP wise) than us. We spend 4.7%. Russia spends 4.3% - it's just that GDP is so small compared to ours that, although they spend roughly the same percentage, the US's budget is about 13 times more than Russia in actual dollars spent.

Not judging - just pointing out the numbers.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this. I probably should compromise and cry laughing. Do you really believe this FD? You think that military spending has anything to do with our freedom? Do you even listen to your own military's thoughts or just blindly wave your American flag to the beat of the war drum?

You didn't answer the question. Do you really believe that spending is to protect our freedom? Also, it's "You're". Thanks.
