The top 1% paying for the bottom 50% is not what occupy is about. Maybe that's what the tea party is about (I won't know cuz I don't watch fox news) but that's not what occupy is about. He's off base there BLUTO. Just like the part that he states that nonathletic people complain when athletes receive trophies. That doesn't happen either. nonathletic people don't even play on their teams CUZ THEY'RE NONATHLETIC!!
Off base? Maybe you should listen to all of it, that includes past the opening comments on taxes. He's spot on, and as with everything else - its the parents' fault.
@F15Bluto Listen you are confused my friend. Your are confusing the occupyiers with the tea party folks as did Adam here. the rich paying taxes for the rest of us IS NOT the concern. The concern is that they take our money putting us and our children into debt with no intention of paying us back in any way. Maybe you should stop watching fox news and do a little independent thinking
@rumandcoke32 "they take our money putting us and our children into debt with no intention of paying us back in any way"
That is PRECISELY what the Tea party is about. Lower taxes, Decrease the size, scope and cost of government, stop stealing from the next generation, stop bankrupting this once great republic.
@jamo387 Then, now come most Tea Party support comes from those few-but-manipulative Americans who think just having more money than the rest gives them a dispensation against paying for the people they vote into power to earn a salary?
Sorry Adam I like ya but your off base here. Its not about rich people paying taxes...its about rich corparations making the rest of us pay their way! And them not paying it back to us
@cwood4ever Do you know what these rich corps don't do? They don't have any intentions on repaying the tax payers in return for the buyouts they received. If you haven't figured it out yet, we the people are on the hook for that money. And we will not get any benefit from them, none what so ever! Don't you think there's something wrong with that?
@jamo387 And, when will you learn that corporations include taxpaying Americans in their payroll? So, how can you say "Corporations don't pay taxes" or something equally naive? IF those employees don't pay their taxes, they shouldn't have the right to vote.
Fucking ass douches who hate losing! Bastards won't quietly accept their shitty fates! Those motherfucking rebels making our lives more difficult by not submitting! FUCKERS
@DONGOE We're already weak enough. What he's said is only serving to undermine any confidence still present in American society; He thinks he's mobilizing pro-activity, when he's only pouring vinegar on an open wound.
@ShreadTheWeapon -We have to wake up, and get control of our out-of-control government and get stronger mentally & physically as a nation. Vinegar burns, but cleans the wound.
@DONGOE Not when it's got demoralizing poison mixed in. IF you want to help gain control, don't listen to Carolla. Listen to Obama. Few people truly have.
@shoney When did being a "victim" become acceptable..? You are proving Corolla's point. Victims and bedwetters everywhere. "I'm a victim - pity me... I just tweeted how bad things are for me on my iPhone". Pathetic.
I am bored with "shredtheweapon" he (or she) has no clue how to have a debate. I now turn him (or her) over to the next intelligent person who would like to shred the weaponless weapon. Enjoy! I gotta go back to work now that the weekend is over. 1%'ers rule!! (obviously)
It's an issue not of only "some having more than other" but of power being unequally shared since money gives more power than it should. And the richest DON'T pay their fair share in America, they pay much less percentage! IT'S INSANE.
whenever large amounts of people gather in public because they're angry at something, you can safely assume they're dumb and wrong by default. Intelligent people sit down and organize and come up with a plan/solution, they don't just pitch tents in an intersection.
These are people who spent 7 years getting a 2 year art degree and are somehow surprised that a financial analyst, police officer or computer programmer who works their ass off is making more than them.
shred the weapon you are exactly what adam is talking about, but you're too ignorant to see it. Go douche your ass or do you think that somebody else should do it for you -- ya assdouche.
@kateandnate It's my first amendment. Nobody's going to "douche [my] ass," just because they disagree with someone voicing their opinion publicly. IF Carolla can do it, so can anyone!
@ShreadTheWeapon Once again assdouche you contradict yourself. if you can express your opinion then so can I. instead of wasting your time on the internet go get a job then you might figure out what adam is really talking about. your simple mind doesn't have the capabilities to see the big picture, so go try and exercise that little brain and make it bigger. Oh and by the way Im only "wasting my time" on the internet after I get home from my job
@kateandnate Once again assdouche you contradict yourself your simple mind doesn't have the capabilities to see the big picture, so go try and exercise that little brain and make it bigger
@ShreadTheWeapon you copied word for word what I said, thats a great argument. No wonder the the 99% has nothing to say at the occupy demonstrations, they (and you) are incapable of original and intelligent thought. You might as well just write "assdouche" on your name tag.
@kateandnate As if you aren't wasting your time fighting someone else's pointless and meaningless war. Go back to your job and quit complaining or insulting things you don't know the first thing about - ASSDOUCHE!
@ShreadTheWeapon It hurts being ignorant doesn't it? Oh yeah you don't even know that you're an idiot. ha ha. Now we are talking about war? You don't even know what to argue about. Im having a really good time riling you up, this is fun! Whats next? The awesome thing is that you keep using my arguments against me. Nice try butt wash (that means assdouche if ya couldn't figure it out)
@kateandnate You're swimming in molasses. I know you better than you know yourself. You're just as bad as (if not worse than) Corolla for throwing a cyber-tantrum and insulting anyone who disagrees with you/him. Calling me ignorant is just as useless as pouring coffee on your own keyboard. I imagine you know what that could do to your computer.
@ShreadTheWeapon hahahahaha this is fun. Thanks for comparing me to Carolla, an independent, free thinking, successful dude. By the way, as for throwing a cyber tantrum, you are the one who previously posted a bunch of ignorant comments on this page. I just noticed that you are an idiot and decided to fuck with you! haha keep em coming, this is highly entertaining. I bet its pretty entertaining for everybody else reading this little ignorance vs intelligence battle. I welcome your response
@kateandnate You only noticed your own genitalia, partner. Nothing else. If this were the real world and not a video of some overpaid pseudo-comedian, you would think twice before saying anything.
As I said below, come up with something intelligent.
@ShreadTheWeapon Are you saying I have large genetalia? Thank you for noticing, I am rather large in the pants. And as for your comment about this being the real world, it is. every minute, every hour, every day, the real world is where I live. And Adam Corolla is talking about the real world, he is talking about what is REALLY happening. A world where ignorant fucks think that the world owes them something. Open your eyes and look around! Have you seen the occupy protesters signs?
@ShreadTheWeapon Those signs read -- "Pay my tuition, pay for my gas, pay my welfare, Gimme, gimme, gimme!" The American Dream" is all about hard work, not handouts!! If you want something then go do something about it, don't sit on your ass and wait for somebody to bail you out!! Nobody owes you anything, you self righteous, spoiled brat. This whole "occupy mentality" is pathetic. The 1%'ers are the ones who provide the jobs in this country! How many people do you employ...? What do you do?
@kateandnate Right now, all I do is wait for you to say something intelligent. Up to now, you've only been self-absorbed, mentally blind and have made as much sense as the Tasmanian Devil. Want to try again?
The real world is anyplace where we ever meet in person, not you typing gobbledygook on this biased board. This board is as close to reality as Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
@ShreadTheWeapon I usually think four times before I say anything, thats what intelligent people do. We don't react to a situation, we think about it, then we think about it some more, before we say something stupid. You should try that. Most of your arguments with me have been a photocopy of what I have said before. Try some original thought, It might wake you up to what is really going on out there. This country doesn't owe you anything, you owe this country everything!
@kateandnate As I said, come up with something intelligent. You just broke your own rule by typing your kneejerk post. And, you haven't presented one argument, only hypocrisy. Photocopying is something you know all too well, since you're just a Carollian Devil. I certainly owe you nothing except some intelligent, sensible advice:
@ShreadTheWeapon Are you trying to reference my genatalia again? I only see my shrink when I get in cold water. haha I like how you wrote shrink in capital letters, that kinda defeats your purpose. Shrink means to get smaller (not bigger). Shreadtheweapon, you are like a video game, you're only fun for a little bit. When you beat the video game it gets boring, so now I set you aside to gather dust and be forgotten. But I know your ignorance won't allow you to not get the last word, so be it.
@kateandnate Of course you get bored. You don't play video games; you only play with that genitalia (spell it right, you lamebrain) when you come on here. Just a wanker! So, you won't be taken seriously by anyone!
kudos adam, finally somebody had enough sack to speak the blunt truth without a sugar topping. those 322 dislikes don't want their 11th place trophies confiscated!
@kivo2003 You think this shows he has a mind? Not on your life. It only shows that he's his own worst enemy. He doesn't like crybabies? He must hate himself.
Adam Carolla built his career and business from scratch. He has a talent of entertaining people and he was smart enough to make something of it. This is a nation of opportunity, however, no one said it was going to be easy to be successful. Unfortunately people don't interpret 'the American Dream' correctly. There is no entitlement that comes with it. It's a DREAM and you have to work your fucking ass off to make that dream reality. It's not going to be handed to you.
@NowKillYourself At least there are a couple bright people who have commented on this page. Its funny how the only people who take offense to what Adam said are obviously the type of people he is talking about. "NowKillYourself", I applaud your comment, I also applaud your restraint at not commenting to all the idiots, Something I was unable to do, I now realize arguing w these people is like teaching a rock how to breathe - Its not possible, a rock cannot learn.
@Ultramagnus1280 You don't have to read it if you don't want to. I'm only rresponding to your single-sided paranoia. And, it's my 1st amendment also, so you can't stop me.
Things would be much better if we reverted back to our constitution. Our ancestors came to america to escape the same government we once ran from. The power is supposed to be given to the STATES and NOT to the federal government. The federal government is supposed to protect our borders and not interfere with the laws of the states. The federal government has been given WAY too much power and unfortunately many people have become dependent on the federal government and therefore want the federa
I just threw four of my trophies in the fucking trash. I agree and I'm going to get my shit together. I'm not going to wait for Obama to send me a fucking check.
@Ultramagnus1280 Take a step away, and look at the bigger picture, fellow American. You'll still get that "fucking check," but it'll have an elephant on it, instead of a donkey. It's still a "trophy," but your issue is more political than moral.
@ shred the weapon, Did you listen to anything Adam was saying? What specific points that he made do you disagree with? Big Spending and Big Government, we use those terms for a reason, their not snow terms. obama has grown the government and he has printed more money to throw at a problem that even our great grand children will have to pay back, The ones that work and earn money and pay taxes that is. Crying and complaining about people who have done something with their lives is Bull $hit
@651journey So is "crying and complaining" about people who have the right to protest a government taking bribes from big business. I disagree with Carolla's assumption that they're nothing but spoiled entitlement brats. Would he have stuck his tongue out at the hippies protesting Nam if he'd lived through that?
And, you're blaming Obama for nothing which is really his fault. He was handed those issues you're ranting about. What would you say to McCain if he'd been elected?
@ShreadTheWeapon McCain Wouldn't of gone on A spending spree, obama has helped to quadruple the deficit. He has repeatedly promised to cut it in half before the end of his term. You know who got screwed by the hippies protesting the war in the sixties, not only the soldiers who were coming back home and greeted with shouts and called names such as baby killer, but the people of South Vietnam also got screwed because of them. Those people wanted to be free, just like us here in America.
@651journey Oh great, so typical of a right winger to blame hippies for the fact that Vietnam was a pointless war. And, the only reason anybody has to blame Obama for the deficit is that the Tea Party said it first. McCain WOULD have gone on that spending spree by funneling more taxpayer dollars into that awful war in Iraq, not to mention continuing to ignore the importance of Afghanistan, the importance of protecting the environment/weening us off fossil fuels and THE PEOPLE!
@ShreadTheWeapon You twist statements into what you hope they are instead of what they actually are and its very telling how you skirted my statement about the people in South Vietnam wanting to be free and the fact that returning soldiers from the Vietnam war were called baby killers by your hippie heroes. The war in Vietnam was not a pointless war. obama had us in Iraq for three years of his term and got us into Afghanistan, wheres the protestors! obama has obama to blame increasing deficit.
@651journey WHO'S TWISTING WHAT? I applaud the South Vietnamese for wanting freedom, but history clearly shows we weren't meant to be their protectorate. It was pointless that we stayed there past 1968, and Iraq was a GOP war from the start. Obama's inability to get us out is due to your right-wing "heroes," not him. Afghanistan was our true responsibility, not a war meant for GW to clean up his old man's mess - and DRIVING UP THE DEBT! The hippies were right on, as is Occupy.
@ShreadTheWeapon First of all I never demanded that anyone show evidence to back up their claims. Thats just you putting words into my mouth. But Here is my proof to support my claim: search utube for obama's take on ows This you tube video shows obama in an interview blaming everyone but himself and his big spending, big government cronies while embracing the occupy wall street cry babies. Democrats have been buying votes since the thirties.
@651journey "Big spending" and "big government" are two of the many snow terms used incessantly by right wingers since before Obama was elected. And, "cry babies" is another gross misnomer for a group of people who're only doing the same thing as you, exercising the right to speak. As for "buying votes," don't bring that up without conceding what Bush & Cheney did in 2000 when they bought the election.
Man and its not that there are no jobs for the 99%-ers, its just that they feel they're special enough to not ever have to be in an entry level position. These idiots don't want to work.
@651journey And, you demand that liberals come up with evidence to back up their claims. You can't come up with anything to support that post which isn't out of a still!
When it comes down to it, the government is really to blame. Corporations are in no way responsible for the plight of the economy. Only the government can determine whether the economy is good or bad. Why? Because they're the ones that setup all the rules and regulations...and there are certain rules and regulations in place that are ruinig the economy as u read this. All that corporations can do is lobby the government for more favors and bailouts. Turn your anger toward government, not WallSt.
basically what i'm trying to say is sure award the winner but dont rig the game by shooting out peoples fuckign knnecaps and then telling them to run 5 miles
so no matter how hard you work there is no middle class your either rich or poor, no inbetweeners anymore thnks to unstable economy caused by corporate greed and goverment contributions no doubt...
so Adam can go suck a dick, people are workign harder than his sorry ass, so he thinks he can judge? doign what he calls work for his massive paycheck? go fuck yourself carolla theres peopel workign multiple jobs to survive, there gettin fucked over
the problem is, coroprate capatlism, the world is trying to compete with slave trade manufacturing prices, they quickly accept the bailouts but they also quickly choose there manufacturing in china, creating a loss of jobs, they'll litteraly lump a shit load of credit on people they know have no way in paying back and will then foreclose on there homes
and theinflation of currency totaly devaluing its worth, the cost of livin has gone up severly yet the wages barley flinched PROBLEMS YES!
@Anubis4815162342 goldman sachs certainly didnt mind after he destoryed the world economy....so you lost the money here have some more......your to big to fail....economy is like a fucking house on quick sand watch it go under again!
OWS: NOT MY VOICE! Perhaps they don't represent 99%. Perhaps they represent the 50% who sponge off of the 1%? In fact I doubt they represent more than 1%.
Those that say the corporations own the politicians, forget about the powerful unions that own the politicians.GM was turned over to the unions, yes the unions now own the majority of GM. Look at Calif. the state with the largest economy, it is also has the largest debt. Brown ran for Gov. with the promise of getting CA back on the right track and reducing the debt. He got elected and his first move, reward the prison guards with a huge pay raise! They just happened to be his largest donors!
While I will agree with a lot of what Mr. Corolla has to say, namely that there is definitely a sense of entitlement in our culture these days, I think he is clouding what the Occupy movement is about. The Bankers and industry owners that run this country (Face it, they own us all. Don't argue. He even admits it) have high jacked our government. They own the politicians. We are taxed with no representation. They spent a decade betting against us then took trillions of our money. That isn't right
No. I wouldn't reconsider. Primarily because I taught my children better than this OWS crap. I taught them morals, right from wrong and that no one is ever going to help them. In the end, they have managed to go to college ON THEIR OWN DIME and not someone else'. OWS was the dumbest assembly to date. Half the picketers had no clue what their sign read to begin with. Did you know that? They were paid $20 an hour to hold up a sign and they never bothered to read it.
Did you eat paint chips as a child? I'm rather positive I said "I taught them morals", not that they "learned' them. Secondly, I know more about OWS than I really care to know. I also know that supporters, such as yourself, are just as completely clueless as the as those students in the OWS movement. The entire thing is stupid. They are occupying the wrong place. If they want results, they should go to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave!
You people asking for handouts from the government is creating MORE government which contributes largely to the shape this country is in right now. When the hell are you ever going to wake up? We don't need more government. The more you complain, the more government grows. The more it grows, the more taxes they take. So stop complaining, stop asking for handouts, apply for a job and make do for yourself like the rest of us.
All of your complaining exhausts me to no end. Jobs are out there. You don't have to ask the government for a job and yelling at Wall Street doesn't do you any good. Now as you defend those retards, try thinking about the damage they left in their wake. Or do you not care about that? Innocent small businesses were closed. Rape, drugs, violence... Is that what you really support? And you say I know nothing of OWS? Get your facts together.
@leebo529 Who is occupying the wrong place? The majority doesn't occupy the person they support. Since you don't know how to talk to someone you disagree with, how could you teach anyone morals or "know more about OWS than I really care to know"? As for paint chips, I'm probably one of the few from my generation who didn't do something that crude.
Meanwhile, what is your reaction to my post about veteran protestors? And, don't you know many demonstrators happen to have jobs?
Are you listening to yourself right now? Your entire argument with me about the protest was about jobs. Now you're telling me "many demonstrators have jobs." Which is it? And I still stand firm on my rebuttal on the veteran protestors. If you happened to overlook it, scroll down. You bore me with your posts as you contradict yourself and you obviously haven't been listening to said protestors. And you certainly didn't read my previous posts carefully.
@leebo529 My point, if you'd get out of the pretzel twister and listen up, is that even people who are lucky enough to have jobs believe that more of them need to be created. And if you wanted me to read below post immediately, you should've included it in this thread for the benefit of the blind and visually impaired (me).
You're painting yourself as a truly narrow-minded, uncaring individual. None of them "should be ashamed of themselves," just because you lucked out and got a job.
First of all, I had no clue as to your impairment. Primarily because you never mentioned it. Narrow minded and uncaring is hardly my description. If that were true I wouldn't be on this page trying to educate people as to the reality of this movement. And that reality is that if people want to empower our government further then LESS JOBS AND MORE TAXES ARE INEVITABLE. You have to really have to see the whole picture.
And as far as veterans protesting at OWS, it's highly immoral and if you can't see that then there is a problem. I got a job (albeit, not a great paying one) because I went out and applied. Like I said before... Jobs are out there. It's a matter of getting off the couch and looking for one. And yelling at the Wall Street personnel will not gain those people a job.
And it really is that easy. The OWS is not about jobs, however. It IS all about handouts and what can my government do for me. It's about Marxism. It's a bunch of college kids who were given everything they want by mommy and daddy their entire lives and now they want it from you, me and everyone else because they're too spoiled and lazy to do it themselves.
Are you serious? First of all, I listen to the news, not ill-informed characters such as yourself. Secondly, I'm one of those Iraqi Veterans you speak of. In fact, I just retired this past April. I went out and applied for a job. I now have a job. It isn't the greatest of pay, but it's a job and I can pay bills and I'm not occupying someone's area crying about it. As far as military personnel at OWS, they should be ashamed of themselves.
I used to hate this uy becasue I guess I did not know what he actualy did. Now I think he is great and is saying exactly what I think. My father taught me one important thing, nobody owes you or should owe you a thing. My father (nor his parents) ever took a dime from the government (and they were poor as dirt) and he still works 8-5 at 72 years old and has no plans on stopping.
He is talking about the fringe here, the loud-mouthed idiots ranting in front of the cameras without jobs and with a socialized ideology of how government should work. Yes, the system is corrupt, abused, and in serious need of fixing, but you can still make a living. And he is completely right about the entitled cultural mentality we're facing.
If the government has power to devalue my freaking house over night and my cost of living. Why can't I speak out in protest? Adam Corolla is disconnected from the surburban world.This is pure bullshit propaganda. Americans, seriously, are you that stupid to be force fed lies about your currency. You are brainwashed, when this country's banks meltdown. I am going to laugh hard as hell at your close-mindedness as wallpaper your walls with the American dollar. Why? Because you could have stopped it
OWS wants to the End the Federal Reserve, which is inflating my hard earned cash and making it cost less by the day. Stop printing our money like mad , you can't flood the market with money, the value cheapens. The Federal Reserve's name is on every bill and is a private company. Working hard? For money that cost less because of the FED and their excessive printing? No matter how hard you work, you are getting poorer. Seriously are there Americans that stupid!! Holy shit, that's horrifying.
so what do we build? and who are we supposed to look up to?. The captains of industry in our country are destroying the environment and making money on murder. no one is building quality anything anymore unless its for the military. where is the opportunity TO work hard. Carolla is a media whore. What has he built recently. Fuck this whiner sounds like HE never got an mvp trophy. I don't know whether to pity him for being ignorant or hate him for catering to the ignorant.
@christophlc6 You just don't get it do you? Or maybe you're one of those 50,55% who don't pay taxes.When you heard this,did you take down all the mirrors in your house?
@FlamingBitchTits I know more about that history than you. It's how I excelled at all of my academics endeavors. More than community college grads such as yourself can say. And even Adam Carolla isn't a "spic." Learn to read Wikipedia. This argument can't go on forever. I have to go back to school after this vacation. I'm sure you'll be busy occupying public places that my tax dollars payed for. Good luck with life you bum.
Ummm... Yes they are. Try listening to them. Handouts is EXACTLY what they're asking for and they do it in simple English so that even someone as uneducated as yourself can understand.
@leebo529 Excuse me, but don't you know the difference between a "handout" and a job? If you don't want to give them anything, don't! But, what they do want is a job!
Excuse me, but asking for money to pay for their schooling, to take care of children, to pay for this and pay for that is NOT asking for a job. You ask if I know the difference? I haven't asked one single person in the 42 years of my life for ANYTHING. I've earned everything I have. I paid for my education. I paid for my children. I paid for everything I own. THAT, Shred, is the difference. If it's a job they want, they should APPLY for one. It's that easy.
@leebo529 Listen to someone other than yourself. If it were that easy, there would be no Occupy. Many of those demonstrators are veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom. They put their lives on the line to "defend" people like you. And, what have they gotten for taking orders and fighting that ridiculous war? A pat on the head, a thank-you-for-protecting-my-kids and a systematic sorry-there's-nothing-for-you. They earned the same life as you, but after discharge, they're nothing.
@leebo529 In the meantime, what if your children believed in what Occupy is trying to say? Would you reconsider your position if they asked you to? Or would you simply say that their generation is spoiled by nature - just as your parents said about your generation and your grandparents said about your parents' generation?
I agree completely with Adam. He has nailed it. I believe that this mentality is closely associated with left-wing socialist types, who always attack the formal recognition of successful individuals, including our Founding Fathers, leaders in business, sports, etc.
@FlamingBitchTits You believe that because you are related to a war hero from 235 years ago, you are better than me? Wrong. My family and I have done more to give back to this country than you ever will. We actually contribute to this society and our tax dollars benefit bottom-feeders like you. I find your jealousy shallow and pedantic. I pity Hugh Mercer and the rest of the Revolution's heroes. They must be turning in their graves at your stupidity. I hope you get your act together and occupy
@FlamingBitchTits First of all, I'm not a "spic" or Hispanic in any way. Your assumption is quite amusing, albeit racist. I'm here very much legally and a citizen. My father makes six figures and is the director of North American operations at a notable multinational corporation. Yes he went from the bottom to the top in 15 years. People like you shame this beautiful land of opportunity.
Hey everyone. I came to America as a child 15 years ago with my family. I'm in one of the best colleges in the country. I was just accepted to a top 10 business school and I know I'm set for life. What I want everyone to know is that Adam Carolla is absolutely right. Those ass-douches are indubitably ruining this wonderful nation. The idiots were born with more opportunities than someone like myself ever had and they're demanding that they receive some kind of compensation for...what exactly? M
Isn't he missing a really obvious point that a bunch of extremely rich people got REWARDED for FAILING? Does anyone remember that? You know, the billions of dollars of tax payers money given to them, for FAILING? A small point there, Adam.
They wern't rewarded for failing. The banks that were bailed out were keypoints of the entire financial structure. If they went down, many , many other institutions and individuals would have been destroyed. Not defending the decision, just presenting both sides.
"There's two things you can do with shame. You can be shamed and go: 'I'd better get my shit together' or you can be shamed and go: 'I'm gonna tear that guys' shit down' and that's where we're at now. When you feel that shame, get your shit together. Leave my shit alone..."
Adam: Well done.

The concern is that they take our money putting us and our children into debt with no intention of paying us back in any way.

whenever large amounts of people gather in public because they're angry at something, you can safely assume they're dumb and wrong by default. Intelligent people sit down and organize and come up with a plan/solution, they don't just pitch tents in an intersection.
These are people who spent 7 years getting a 2 year art degree and are somehow surprised that a financial analyst, police officer or computer programmer who works their ass off is making more than them.

@ShreadTheWeapon McCain Wouldn't of gone on A spending spree, obama has helped to quadruple the deficit. He has repeatedly promised to cut it in half before the end of his term. You know who got screwed by the hippies protesting the war in the sixties, not only the soldiers who were coming back home and greeted with shouts and called names such as baby killer, but the people of South Vietnam also got screwed because of them. Those people wanted to be free, just like us here in America.

@651journey Oh great, so typical of a right winger to blame hippies for the fact that Vietnam was a pointless war.

And it really is that easy. The OWS is not about jobs, however. It IS all about handouts and what can my government do for me. It's about Marxism. It's a bunch of college kids who were given everything they want by mommy and daddy their entire lives and now they want it from you, me and everyone else because they're too spoiled and lazy to do it themselves.

Are you serious? First of all, I listen to the news, not ill-informed characters such as yourself. Secondly, I'm one of those Iraqi Veterans you speak of. In fact, I just retired this past April. I went out and applied for a job. I now have a job. It isn't the greatest of pay, but it's a job and I can pay bills and I'm not occupying someone's area crying about it. As far as military personnel at OWS, they should be ashamed of themselves.

I used to hate this uy becasue I guess I did not know what he actualy did. Now I think he is great and is saying exactly what I think. My father taught me one important thing, nobody owes you or should owe you a thing. My father (nor his parents) ever took a dime from the government (and they were poor as dirt) and he still works 8-5 at 72 years old and has no plans on stopping.

He is talking about the fringe here, the loud-mouthed idiots ranting in front of the cameras without jobs and with a socialized ideology of how government should work. Yes, the system is corrupt, abused, and in serious need of fixing, but you can still make a living. And he is completely right about the entitled cultural mentality we're facing.

If the government has power to devalue my freaking house over night and my cost of living. Why can't I speak out in protest? Adam Corolla is disconnected from the surburban world.This is pure bullshit propaganda. Americans, seriously, are you that stupid to be force fed lies about your currency. You are brainwashed, when this country's banks meltdown. I am going to laugh hard as hell at your close-mindedness as wallpaper your walls with the American dollar. Why? Because you could have stopped it

OWS wants to the End the Federal Reserve, which is inflating my hard earned cash and making it cost less by the day. Stop printing our money like mad , you can't flood the market with money, the value cheapens. The Federal Reserve's name is on every bill and is a private company. Working hard? For money that cost less because of the FED and their excessive printing? No matter how hard you work, you are getting poorer. Seriously are there Americans that stupid!! Holy shit, that's horrifying.

so what do we build? and who are we supposed to look up to?. The captains of industry in our country are destroying the environment and making money on murder. no one is building quality anything anymore unless its for the military. where is the opportunity TO work hard. Carolla is a media whore. What has he built recently. Fuck this whiner sounds like HE never got an mvp trophy. I don't know whether to pity him for being ignorant or hate him for catering to the ignorant.

@FlamingBitchTits I know more about that history than you. It's how I excelled at all of my academics endeavors. More than community college grads such as yourself can say. And even Adam Carolla isn't a "spic." Learn to read Wikipedia. This argument can't go on forever. I have to go back to school after this vacation. I'm sure you'll be busy occupying public places that my tax dollars payed for. Good luck with life you bum.

Ummm... Yes they are. Try listening to them. Handouts is EXACTLY what they're asking for and they do it in simple English so that even someone as uneducated as yourself can understand.

@leebo529 Excuse me, but don't you know the difference between a "handout" and a job? If you don't want to give them anything, don't! But, what they do want is a job!

@ShreadTheWeapon
Excuse me, but asking for money to pay for their schooling, to take care of children, to pay for this and pay for that is NOT asking for a job. You ask if I know the difference? I haven't asked one single person in the 42 years of my life for ANYTHING. I've earned everything I have. I paid for my education. I paid for my children. I paid for everything I own. THAT, Shred, is the difference. If it's a job they want, they should APPLY for one. It's that easy.

@leebo529 Listen to someone other than yourself. If it were that easy, there would be no Occupy. Many of those demonstrators are veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom. They put their lives on the line to "defend" people like you. And, what have they gotten for taking orders and fighting that ridiculous war? A pat on the head, a thank-you-for-protecting-my-kids and a systematic sorry-there's-nothing-for-you. They earned the same life as you, but after discharge, they're nothing.

@leebo529 In the meantime, what if your children believed in what Occupy is trying to say? Would you reconsider your position if they asked you to? Or would you simply say that their generation is spoiled by nature - just as your parents said about your generation and your grandparents said about your parents' generation?

I agree completely with Adam. He has nailed it. I believe that this mentality is closely associated with left-wing socialist types, who always attack the formal recognition of successful individuals, including our Founding Fathers, leaders in business, sports, etc.

@FlamingBitchTits You believe that because you are related to a war hero from 235 years ago, you are better than me? Wrong. My family and I have done more to give back to this country than you ever will. We actually contribute to this society and our tax dollars benefit bottom-feeders like you. I find your jealousy shallow and pedantic. I pity Hugh Mercer and the rest of the Revolution's heroes. They must be turning in their graves at your stupidity. I hope you get your act together and occupy

@FlamingBitchTits First of all, I'm not a "spic" or Hispanic in any way. Your assumption is quite amusing, albeit racist. I'm here very much legally and a citizen. My father makes six figures and is the director of North American operations at a notable multinational corporation. Yes he went from the bottom to the top in 15 years. People like you shame this beautiful land of opportunity.

Hey everyone. I came to America as a child 15 years ago with my family. I'm in one of the best colleges in the country. I was just accepted to a top 10 business school and I know I'm set for life. What I want everyone to know is that Adam Carolla is absolutely right. Those ass-douches are indubitably ruining this wonderful nation. The idiots were born with more opportunities than someone like myself ever had and they're demanding that they receive some kind of compensation for...what exactly? M

Isn't he missing a really obvious point that a bunch of extremely rich people got REWARDED for FAILING? Does anyone remember that? You know, the billions of dollars of tax payers money given to them, for FAILING? A small point there, Adam.

They wern't rewarded for failing. The banks that were bailed out were keypoints of the entire financial structure. If they went down, many , many other institutions and individuals would have been destroyed. Not defending the decision, just presenting both sides.
