WE ARE THE 1 PERCENT

I’m sick of arguing with you. People like you will never change and I’ve accepted that. But to give you a “smart” answer below is a list of what the 99% are protesting for:

-We want our hard work to pay off

-We want to be able to support our families on a decent living wage without having to work 80-100 hrs per week.

-We want affordable education and health care

-And lastly we want to be treated as equals not less than

Your first two demands is really an issue with yourself and your boss. Your boss is not a 1%’er. He’s another 99%’er. A typical 1%’er is a famous athlete, a famous singer, a famous actor, a famous author, a tech whiz kid (me), or a CEO. Neither of those really determine your salary. A CEO deals with the projects that the company is involved in. Your manager (a 99%’er) is the one who determines your salary, and whether you’re fired or not.

And it’s an issue with yourself, because when I was a 99%’er, I had a pretty decent job and salary. That’s because I studied hard in school and worked for it. So if you didn’t do well in school and thus cannot land yourself a good job, blame yourself for not studying harder, and your parents for not giving you better genes. Both of which are not the 1%’ers’ fault.

Education is free. College is meant for those who have a use for the degree, and a plan to pay off the tuition using skills earned in college. These days, students are going to college because it is the social norm, but don’t get a decent degree out of it. That’s an issue that you need to take up with those students, and the college they attend. Both of which, again, is not the 1%’ers’ fault. Unless it’s a public college, there’s nothing the government can do about it anyway. Private universities dictate their own tuition fees. As for healthcare, there is medicaid, if you cannot afford healthcare.

I treat you as my equal. I was a 99%’er just a few years ago. I don’t think that I’m better than you or anyone else. So why can’t you do the same for me? Why must you hate me for problems that I did not cause for you. I don’t determine your salary or work hours. I don’t determine your education/health care costs.

I don’t hate you. Sociopaths like you are not worth hating. And as far as doing well in school, I did very well. And this business with genes what the hell are you talking about? If your parents had such good genes that they gave you why were they so poor? According to what you say if they worked hard and had good genes they should have never struggled.  You honestly  remind me of my ex who was a huge liar and would do anything for attention.  Your statements and stories don’t make sense so just give it up your a joke!

My parents never got the opportunity to finish high school. They lived in a Communist country that forced them into labor as teenagers. They escaped to America by spending all of their savings so that I could have a better life than them. That’s why I started off poor. And now you guys want to turn America into a Communist country. Oh, the irony…
