It is not envy but desperation. Whatever the top 1% is paying with stolen money. They bought the government. If you started a company because the taxpayers loaned you the money, maybe you should repay the loan instead in opportunity instead of interest. Opportunity for others to get a job. If productivity enables one person to do the work of 50, what are the other 49 supposed to do for a job? Who will buy product? Whose money can pay cops to protect the 1% from the starving masses?
"The best system we have" ... not tough, since it is the ONLY system we have.
So 1% paid 50% of taxes? Let me ask you, does that sound fair? If not, then why aren't the 1%'rs out there protesting too - seems like they would be first and foremost trying to set things right.
Stop making excuses for these idiots. And stop trying to blame the police you self important communist aholes . You get arrested or sprayed its YOUR fault. Get it threw your heads. The American people are sick of you bums
What about the 84y/o woman who was pepper sprayed? I'm sure she was very threatening. Or the kids at UC simply SITTING that were pepper sprayed? Or the NYC police buses that were brought in PRIOR to the police knowing that their announcement to not block tragic on the Brooklyn Bridge could not possibly be heard by the large crowd and then they WALKED IN FRONT of the 700 people who were arrested to set them up. How are these actions okay by any train of thought?
Yea those damn police.You know the police state is here when they arrest people for standing in there way and screaming at them. Or for raping women and taking craps on cop cars . You jack asses talk about wallstreet getting bailouts Well who the fuck is paying the bill for you dumb shits to camp out like rats? TAX PAYERS . Yer a bunch of ignorant bumbs You're all communist a holes who either understand or don't understand how capitalism works and can't grasp reality . You want to blame people
its funny without knowing (ordoeshe?) carola strengthens the argument for occupy to be in the beginning. yeah its 1% paying for 50%. obviously theres something wrong with the system and just because it worked out for this boring sounding person doesnt make it good. its not laziness that keeps 1% from creating a new system. and its not envy we are feeling. Be ready corola, be ready...
He has not even addressed investment companies that gamble with bank money (Hence the term "Wallstreet"), and lose, get a handout from the government and because they lobby and financially back politicians... companies like JP morgan do not produce any type of goods, cars, electronics, etc.the occupy movement aren't protesting Mark Zuckerbergs or Bill Gates of the world. it's Wall Street firms that delve in bad investment policies and then got bailed out by their government buddies.
Hey, blazehok, They make more because they're smarter or luckier than you. They also contribute 1,000 times more than you ever will, and complain less. So get back on the sidelines of life, which is where you can actually survive.
Oh it was Jimmy Carter. And Bill Clinton who told those nasty wasty banks to give money to deadbeats in the first place. And it was a few Islamic nuts who crashed planes into buildings that brought is to the middle east. You dipshits love blaming others and not looking at reality . Get a fcking job. And if government is soooo corrupt . Let me ask you . Will you Reelect Obama? Ya thought so.
If OWS was about Goverment accountability You idiots wouldn't be worshiping on the alter of Obama . Sucking his ... Every last word down. And you wouldent be bitching about the rich. They got that way by WORKING and they EMPLOY people who get paid. Maybe you jakoffs should stop craping in parks and subways like rats . And get jobs You know Mcdonalds hires all the time . So does Walmart . Work two or three jobs. You fcks can do it. If you believe government is so bad than why do you support Obam
In retrospect, the economy is in the toilet because of the same class of A-hole who crashed the housing industry into a wall and got us into war with the middle east.
On the hand, Adam has a point about the new wave of music pirating, dog shit that will be running the world in a couple of years.
@Pilgrimman007 It doesn't matter who you take seriously, all I know is I'm way smarter than your dumb ass. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize the government is corrupt. Adam Carolla is a TRAITOR. People have every right to protest and SHOULD be protesting the levels of corruption in our government. A TRUE PATRIOT SUPPORTS ALL ANTI-GOVERNMENT PROTESTS AT THIS POINT BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT IS ANTI-PROTEST WHEN IT IS OUR LEGAL RIGHT TO DO SO!! YOU PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE UP!!
I can state with utter certainty that my intelligence and work ethic far exceeds your own. Protip: telling people that they need to "WAKE UP" (especially when you do it in all caps) does not convince anyone and further decreases your credibility. It makes you sound like a raving loon.
@Pilgrimman007 HAHAHA, You're joking right!? THE GOVERNMENT IS ARRESTING PEACEFUL PROTESTERS YOU JACKASS! How are they allowing people to peacefully protest when we have all these videos of people getting dragged through the street? Cops almost KILLED an unarmed Iraq war veteran in Oakland for simply protesting. You need to wake the fuck up and educate yourself. You are a disgrace to humanity with your ignorance.
@StratoBlaster420 Yup. I guess the cops are just kicking these people's asses for no reason at all. They're not doing it because of the countless numbers of reported assaults, thefts, and rapes at the OWS camps right?
@CarlChub Those were ISOLATED INCIDENTS NOT CONDONED BY OWS. Get that through your brainwashed mind! These people are speaking out against DEEP corruption! You will realize it one day! It's simply the truth of the matter...!
@StratoBlaster420 Please enlighten me as to what part of the world you live in where police just beat people for no reason at all.
These people are vandalizing parks, monuments, businesses. They're taking shits in stores, in the middle of the street, on cop cars. They're blocking people from getting to and from work every day. They're threatening to STAB reporters that come into the camps.
It's against the LAW. The police are there to preserve the LAW. You have no understanding of the LAW
@StratoBlaster420 If you do not follow the LAW, and if you resist arrest, yeah, sorry, the police have to get rough with you, just as you are doing with them. But these people dont follow the LAW, so they get what they deserve. They display roughness to the police, so the police respond accordingly. See if you can wrap your head around the concept of the LAW in our country.
I'm speaking out against corruption too, and it's coming from our government.
@StratoBlaster420 Our government is the one that MANDATED that these Wall Street Businesses give out loans that they knew could not be paid back. Your frustration is understood, but you're aiming it at the wrong people.
@CarlChub I have never seen so much complete idiocy spewed upon me at one time. You don't even understand YOUR OWN RIGHTS AS AN AMERICAN! Just shut the fuck up until you realize that our constitution gives us the right to protest, and even tells us we SHOULD overthrow the government at some points. WAKE THE FUCK UP, MORON!
@StratoBlaster420 Know your rights before you try and school someone else on them.
First Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people PEACEABLY TO ASSEMBLE, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
Note the word "PEACEABLY." That doesnt mean u can just take over a part of town and impede people from their daily lives.
@StratoBlaster420 And by the way, cursing doesn't help your argument at all. (If you can even call it an argument.) It just makes you sound like a child. Just for future reference. If you expect to be taken seriously.
@CarlChub You would THINK those people in their "daily lives" would CARE enough about their own country to publicly petition the government for the redress of grievances. There's NOTHING you can say to make your viewpoint correct. You're simply on the wrong side of history. Protests have caused many important changes in American history. Females wouldn't even be allowed to vote, nor blacks if it weren't for protests. You need to read some damn history books.
Adam Carolla's rant shows common misconceptions about the Occupy Wallstreet Movement. Yes, the new generation has entitlement problems. Look who raised them. They were spoiled by leisure and shitty parents. However, Occupy Wallstreet is not about instantly fixing the economy, or asking for a job. Unions ask for "jobs not cuts." There are no jobs because they have mostly been automated and outsourced. This will take time to correct. Simply, OCCUPY WALLSTREET IS ABOUT GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY.
Carolla is right on here.
