[quote=Anonymous][quote=TheManWithAUsername][quote=Anonymous]I just don't get it.  Some of the Occupiers seem to be college educated, but in areas of study that really don't have a lot to offer in terms of employment.  Who's fault is that?  Apply your skills in a different way and get over yourself.

Also, if they take down the 1% that they're rallying against, won't there just be another 1% to take their place?

It's not as if that group making less money, or paying more in taxes, will result in more jobs for art history majors or money in their pocket. That is just lost economic value.[/quote]
From the site with the pics and short statements (WTF is tumbler? I'm old.), there did seem to be very many over- and uselessly educated people. We need to start referring to the student loan-educational complex. All these kids being sold the lie that a liberal arts education is important, and then adopting the belief that they're entitled to it for that reason.

[b]The other strong theme, though, is health care. If we had had universal healthcare and real banking regulation, we wouldn't have had either of these angry movements.[/b][/quote]

Not true.  We'd be Greece and protesting in the streets because we couldn't afford all of the regulation and handouts.[/quote]
