I couldn't agree with you more.

Power concedes nothing without a demand.

That's why the people in power want the protestors be be good little niggers and go back to their homes and do what their told.

Lots of honkies and latinos participating in these demonstrations.

I realize you're using the 'N' word for effect but please let that word die.

Well, see, everyone that isn't like him and his "black friends" who are multimillionaires is a "loser" who just doesn't "get it".

I just think he's too simpleminded to understand that we can't ALL be multi-millionaires/billionaires. It just isn't going to happen, EVER. But, that doesn't make all of us who aren't, "losers". We're just regular folks trying to survive the best we can and it gets harder every day, what with a bunch of over-achieving, conceited pricks blaming all of the countries problems on our alleged "laziness", "entitlement" and so on.

You see, Don, if your not a business owner or a corporate executive doing whatever it takes to amass as much personal wealth as possible.....You're a "loser". If you give a shit what happens to anyone that just wants a simple life and a decent wage and doesn't care about getting rich, or God forbid, has made mistakes and fallen behind.......you enable "losers" and are therefore, a "loser" yourself.

Most Americans will never be rich and totally self-sufficient, no matter what happens. That's just reality. Most of us will always depend on others to do the job creating and paying of wages that they must try to live on, taxes and so on. This is a pesky, unpleasant thing that guys like our friend Zero and that jackass Barkley just can't deal with. It bores holes in their thick skulls and cooks their fucking brain-meat.

THE WORLD WILL NEVER WORK THE WAY THEY WANT IT TO. IT NEVER HAS AND IT NEVER WILL BECAUSE IT CAN'T. THEY WILL EITHER LEARN TO ACCEPT IT, OR LOSE THEIR MINDS RAILING AGAINST IT. REALITY IS A BITCH, EVEN FOR THOSE WHO THINK THEY'VE FIGURED IT ALL OUT.

With Loving Sincerity,

Dave

I don't think ZeroJunk is losing his mind railing against it. He's just having fun trolling in his studly achiever persona. Zeke, on the other hand, has been railing some today.

Everybody's on their own trip.

Could be. We all have our ways of trolling. Some subtle, some not so subtle.

Tell me about it.

I've had to go into "plausible deniability" mode myself recently.

But that's OK, I'm adaptable.

Survival rate for a small business after four years is less than 50%.
Given such odds, how many people would really want to start their own business?

I call it, "Survival of the Fittest", which, I'm told, is a good thing. The weaklings get trampled under and the best rise to the top. So, logically, the tougher it is to run a business the better. That way we end up with only the very best......right?

I mean, if it (supposedly) works that way for the employee, why shouldn't it be true for the employer as well? Why shouldn't running a business be a royal, unrewarding pain in the ass? What doesn't kill them, makes them stronger, correct? When the going gets tough the tough get going.....Do they not? If they want to make a profit, they just need to work harder.......and harder........and harder.......and harder.......as we continually raise the bar on them, deliberately keeping it just out of reach and call them "whiners" when they complain.

Sounds fair to me. After all, I don't know why anyone would think that success is guaranteed. It's not an "entitlement".
