    I always thought unemployment was given out by the employers. It's given out through the state, but isn't it funded by the only the employers? If not, it should be. Two years is a bit lengthy, though. Six months at most.


    Exactly.

    Herman Cain To Wall Street Protesters:

    My thoughts exactly. America is an aspirational society.

    I don't even know who he is (YET) but that statement makes me want to poke him in the eye! .


    Than shut up till you do some research.

    Why exactly? The point of his statement is that people need to start taking responsibility for their own actions/problems. For instance, is it the banks fault if someone cant pay their loan? Or should we blame the bank executives? I know a guy I work with who constantly complains about money. He complains about how hard it is to save any money or to buy his kids clothes. Then he buys PS3 and an LCD tv. Who's fault is it that he cant save money?


    Bottom line, what Cain was saying is that if I cant manage money and I go broke, it's no ones fault but my own.


    +1.

    I haven't seen you on here in some time man.
  5. Well, not all persons get the chance to succeed because of their parents not being the "right" parents and stuff. And some just inherit money and are rich without being smart.

    These people are parasites pure and simple. They want to start at 30 bucks an hour with full benefits. I'll start at seven, and work my way up over 30-40 odd years.
  7. At least some of these "protesters" are getting paid. I don't know if getting paid to protest capitalism is ironic or just sad.

    Lol.


  10. Beginning of september we had a lot of flooding in my area. The store where I work was closed for 3 days and water was in places that have never flooded before. In Owego NY alone, 90% of businesses were flooded and 75% of homes were either condemned or need months of repair before people can return to live in them. My family and I were ok, we were very lucky. We know several people who lost everything.
