Fools. Sorry but, that's how I see it. If I'm starving and someone offers me a bowl of soup, I'm taking it. If some one nearby wants to starve rather than take the soup becuase he thinks it's immoral, I'll take his. I might even wait for him to drop and take his shoes. Survival trumps pride. Screw that foolishness.

I don't knock anyone for being poor or uneducated either. I knock them for thinking being poor, uneducated, overworked and underpaid is somehow a badge of honor. Those people probably all work for whoever fed them that drivel. And he's probably a billionaire because of it. They're stooges, Painter. Nothing more. What's worse is they drag the rest of us down with them by being so cheap.

It just occured to me...Wall Street occupiers! They want what you have! Class envy??
The only difference I can see is... many are educated and are in their minds eye... needy!
