Politicians haven't been doing their jobs.And while protesting in front of Wall Street is understandable, why give the government a pass? If Bush were still president, I sincerely doubt that they'll be at Wall Street.<br /><br />And I understand why people are frustrated- especially the vets, I think it's so unfair that many are coming home without jobs. But did you know that a chain of Wall Street companies are holding job fairs strictly for Vets? That one of those big banks these protestors hate so much actually gave away mortgage-free homes to wounded soldiers? No, I don't think they can save everyone, but at least they've helped people, unlike most politicians.<br /><br />I just don't see what the point of protesting is. When you really want a job, or really need a job, then look for one. My uncle was laid off from the bank he had been working for for so many years. But he didn't stop sending in resumes, he didn't stop searching online and on foot. He finally got hired after a year without work, and although it took a while, he never gave up. He didn't waste his time protesting at rallies or demanding the world to listen to his personal woes. He just went out there and got a job.<br /><br />And if the rich isn't investing right now, you can't blame most of them. The rest of the world is becoming competitive, which is why America needs a business-friendly president. <br /><br />Then again, that's just my two cents.Sweetface24https://www.blogger.com/profile/02924829120743181224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202403935928479680.post-82859525976493136092011-11-21T19:16:23.396-08:002011-11-21T19:16:23.396-08:00these people are not stupid in any factor except t...these people are not stupid in any factor except that they have not put out a united front,for the cause,and the reason wall sreet was the point of this gathering to have first come into play.the average americans answer is shut up and get a job. that is their exact point,where,and how?we want people who have lost their jobs,their homes,their lives that they were working so hard to build,which depended on their jobs in the first place,and it;s gone. they don't have a place to go. they don;t like where they ended up. welfare sucks,they want off.then the age of retirement has been raised,this means older people need jobs. there are people who are graduating high school and college,they need jobs,even people who drop out of high school need jobs. soon there will be many people who are veterans who need jobs. the idea is not to bring the finicial inst. to crash and burn,it is that they need to be investing in america to make us stronger finicially. forget about turkey,mexico,india,etc.that is the big investment trend is all going these days. money creates jobs.back in 70's after all these vets were returning fron the war,mexico was opened for buss.,and all these mills in the south closed, and marched to the world, that was due to gov. we had many homeless then too. the rich want to open doors for themselves,not the people. would you want to work two or three min. wage jobs,if you can get one,just one to try to support your family,and meet their needs,just to barely survive in this economy? it will continue to worsen if people do not wake up. people need to sit down,if they feel these people are just bums, and figure the costs of their housing, food,and utilities.just those basic needs,and cut down to what life would be like if you could not even do that much in their lives. invest in america,and jobs for americans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202403935928479680.post-8261542493492785222011-11-21T18:23:58.974-08:002011-11-21T18:23:58.974-08:00idon't see these people as being really stupid...idon't see these people as being really stupid except in the fact that they did not make it common factor that what they need is jobs. wall street is in part responsible for this, also our gov., invest in the u.s., forget about turkey,india,mexico,etc. we need a more powerful economic structure,and that starts with jobs, we want to end welfare,we want to own homes,have a good life for our families, we want jobs for the people to get them off welfare, retirement ages have been raised{this means jobs for older people}people graduating high school,and college need jobs,people coming out of military service need jobs,the main attitude of most americans is shut up and get a job. go out and stry to support your family in this economy with a min. wage job,lol, meaning this time lots of luck. the rich don;t even want to invest in our country.all these mills in the south were moved to mexico,india,and all over. people are actually inporting people from other countries to fill jobs in these large corp. or buss. anymore a working class hero is nothing to be if you are american. so thesec people need to get their act together, and put it out there, that their plight and the position they hold in life,is not because they asked for it. what saddens me right now is the violence.wonder?womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09795780085255818455noreply@blogger.com
