I have been watching this movement with interest.
It is strange how this movement appeared out of nowhere when Obama started running for president. Perhaps it is meant to counter the tea party and bolster democratic confidence. There appears to be big union support in organizing and running this "spontaneous" protesting.
Perhaps some of those claiming they have no jobs, should also blame the teachers that passed them all without grading or ever failing them and taught them to have super self esteem. It would be a bitch when they hit the real working world and realized that they would not be president in one year, would not make hundreds of thousands a year at a desk job doing little, their entitlement payments ran out, etc. Too bad pot smoking is a non-transferable skill. Perhaps some of them had a hand in their own fate?
Reality bites when you have to make your own way and WORK HARD to do well generally speaking. Easy come, easy go oftentimes.
One tax fellow I know well told me that he was amazed at the number of kids in their late twenties who lived at home with mom and dad and had never worked or filed a tax form. They phoned him years later to get a government payment offered to provincial residents.
I know that the vast majority of young people are not like this stereotype, but we have all heard the stories of people leaving at noon and not coming back - one individual not even to get his final pay. I guess the only place money grows on trees is at the Fed.
I think this has all happened before in the past. Perhaps there is nothing new under the sun? The more I watch, the more I think there is a model for this in history.
