OWS RANT - A little long but it could have been longer - Just had to get it off my chest.

So we have this group of protesters who are upset about the bailouts that took place for the companies that the GOVERNMENT deemed were too big to fail. Companies that were facing bankruptcy and the Government comes along and offers them a way out. Don’t tell me if you or any of these other protesters were in their shoes you wouldn’t have accepted those funds even though you would have to pay them back and with interest I might add. They saved their business just like any of these OWS protesters would save their own butts if they needed to. So why aren’t they directing their frustration towards the Government? Obama, and Bush before him, did allow those bailouts to take place. Why not protest the Obama administration? Congress? The Senate? Is it possible that all of these protesters were Obama voters? That would make sense as to why they are not directing their frustrations in the appropriate direction.

All I hear is whining and crying from these protesters. “We are the 99%, and Wall Street got bailed out and we got sold out!” You are what you make yourselves and you want to blame Wall Street for all of your own problems? Seriously? Personal accountability went right out the window with this Generation. Whatever happened to the old saying “Hard Work Pays Off”? Sometimes you have to do what you have to do to make ends meet even if that means working 2 or 3 jobs to get it done. So you can’t find your dream job right out of College and you’re pissed? Get off your butt and get a job like the rest of us and start getting your debt paid off. Don’t ask the rich to pay off your debt for you, that’s a cop-out and I feel no sympathy for you if you’d rather be on the street whining and crying as opposed to actually looking for a job, even if it’s a crap job.

And don’t tell me there are no jobs out there, that’s a load of garbage as well. It might be harder to find a job now than it was a few years ago, but I assure you that if you apply yourself, and don’t give up, eventually you are going to find someone who is willing to pay you for your work. But if you have that entitlement attitude that the world owes you something forget about it. No one wants to hire some pussy who hasn’t figured out that this life just isn’t fair sometimes.

Look, I’m all for peaceful protests. Protest your ass off. But don’t just sit there and whine and cry about people who have more than you do. Work hard and make something out of yourself. And if you’re going to protest offer some solutions! What are the solutions? What laws do they want changed? I have not heard any solutions that make one bit of sense from these protesters. You want wealth redistribution? You hate Capitalism? What are you going to replace it with? Communism? If you want Communism be my guest. Move to China and let me know how that Communist economic system works out for you. You’d be demanding to be back in this great country again as soon as your eyes were open to what great things you had thrown away.

Everybody gets it that your pissed ok. We heard you the first two months you were on the streets whining and crying and crapping on the sidewalks to get your point across. As a matter of fact you have a right to be pissed. That’s ok. But it appears to me that these protesters have simply thrown in the towel on life and now it’s all about getting a handout and hoping the Government can come in and wipe their asses for them. You want to protest big Government then hell I’m all for you! But protesting the big corporations that supply the majority of the jobs in this country is not a real solution. It’s time to offer some real solutions. Not some mumbo jumbo you pulled out of your liberal college that is really just marxism/socialism/communism disguised as your utopian ideas.

The bottom line is life is all about personal accountability. That’s what makes this country great. If you want to work hard it will pay off in the end. If you want to sit around and whine and cry about everything you don’t have you won’t be getting anywhere you want to be anytime soon. So make the choice to stand up, lower your standards if you have to, and get yourself to work or shut up. If you don’t want the jobs that are available out there for you that’s fine and dandy. They invented welfare for people like you. Take your Government check, know your role, and shut your mouth Jabroni!
