Occupy New Jersey - Jersey for Shore

It is really time for people to step up and make things happen. I can appreciate all the occupy movements going on. It is our right, and your duty to those who are loyal to the cause. Conversely, as much as we know the banks and gov screwed us, it is still our responsibility to provide for our families and do what it takes to succeed, no matter how hard times are. It is in our DNA to move forward.

What if one doesn't want to be a billionaire? Just comfortable middle class? I don't need a helicopter and jet skis. I don't need five mansions and 6 vacation homes. But when one person has all the money, that leaves the middle class with nothing. So the only choice is to either be the rich 1% or the poor 99% Where there's a flood in one area, there is a drought somewhere else. Just replace water with money in the analogy.

@cstar4004 I hear you on not needing the World. I can appreciate that. However, I am not part of the 1%. If anything, I am with you on the other 99%. It is those percentages, though, that says a lot of us can do better in trying to achieve what we at least feel is right to us. To do that, takes efforts that go beyond the norm. Does that makes sense?

I do understand that. Thank you for taking the time to respond, and thank for not doing it in a nasty way like a lot of people online have been doing lately. You do have a good point. And the mind set I'm in is similar to yours. I am willing to do what it takes. Kill or be killed so to speak. However, my values are: Kill only to eat, or prevent from being eaten. We have to have some level selfishness, otherwise we get walked all over. But I don't believe we need to walk all over others.

@cstar4004 no prob, and that is a good way to be too. You just want enough to be comfortable. I can understand that.

The thing is, a lot of people who don't have jobs, would LOVE the opportunity to get one and start contributing to this once-great-nation to make it great once more. But when there's one job opening for every four unemployed, school tuition ever rising, and everything is so expensive that you need TWO jobs, not one, it's not always about manning up and working.Getting two jobs means your putting six other people out on those job opportunities. (1:4= 2:8)doesnt sound like for of and by the people

@cstar4004 I totally hear you there too. But again, it is back to doing what you can do to topple the next guy, even if you don't want to and you are passive in nature. You don't have to topple the next guy to get by, but you need to act is if you will if you had to. It will be that drive that gets you your next gig.

@GzLessonz you don't think I know about working? paying taxes? etc? I can appreciate that some people are having issues. I know the govs and banks are screwing us. I get it. Really, I do. Conversely, in the end it will be up to us to make a difference and to change the game. Half of those protestors don't even know what they are fighting for. Moreover, a lot of them haven't worked a solid year in their life. Stop crying.
