The Wall Street protesters are getting some of what they are advocating. They are advocating taking money from the “rich” and giving it to them. Well, someone thinks that they are the “rich” and has been taking laptops, money and other valuables. The protesters are upset. Those laptops are expensive. One lady said her Mac was worth $5,500. Welcome to how the people who earn money feel when they have it taken and given to those who do not earn it.
I hate to sound like I am gloating. Theft is wrong at any level. The person or people stealing the money and other valuables from these Wall Street protesters should be arrested and prosecuted. But, the irony is lost on these ignorant dunces that are protesting. They cannot see the irony between what they advocate and what is happening to them. These protesters are the children of the “rich”. They are the children of privilege. They have been taught by their Marxist professors that it is acceptable to take money from the evil “rich” and give it to the poor. The problem is that the term “rich” is never defined enough for them to understand that they are part of the rich. They identify themselves as part of the poor, but they in reality are part of the rich. So, when they advocate taking money from the “rich” and giving it to the poor, they are really saying to take their money and give it to people who will not work.
These Wall Street protesters that are college students are from the Ivy League schools. Ivy League schools are the most expensive schools in the country. Tuition at Harvard is quoted at $60,000/year. When you add the other required expenses that total goes up to $116,000. You either have to be rich, on scholarship or take out a loan to pay that kind of money. If you take out a loan for that huge tuition and fee payment, you have to expect that your income will put you well into the “rich” category or you will be in big trouble after graduation. By any definition, these student protesters are either now the “rich” or they expect to be the “rich” in the future. Their parents are most likely already part of that “rich” category they are protesting about.
But, the protesters do not protest against Progressives, communists, socialists and the like who make huge quantities of money. They only protest against those they perceive as being conservative. So, to this Wall Street Protest crowd, the only “rich” people are conservative people who make over $200,000 per year. When they took their march to demonstrate against the evil “rich” they went to every conservative in the area. They ignored the houses of every Progressive, socialist and communist who lived next to the evil conservative rich. That is definitely hypocrisy in action.
Also it has come out that the Wall Street Protesters have adopted Robin Hood as their mascot. What Robin Hood did and what these people advocate might sound the same, but they are completely different. Robin Hood took from individuals who had extorted it from the poor and gave it back to the poor. These Wall Street protesters want the government to take it from people who have done nothing wrong and give it to people who have not had anything taken away. Robin Hood may have been a scoundrel, but at least he had some justification in his actions. Robin Hood’s help went to those who were victims of oppression, not indigents. These protesters plan on taking from innocent people and giving it to people who refuse to help themselves, in other words indigents.
These Wall Street protesters are hypocrites at best. They are basically dishonest and selfish. You hear them talk about how terrible they have it, when a lot of people would love to have it that bad. The goals of the people leading the Wall Street protests are to be feared. If they have their way, the American way of life would end and we would become the Union of Soviet American States.
