The Whiny 53

Dude, you need to open your eyes. You’re out of work because inadequate federal regulation enabled Wall Street financial firms to make enormous amounts of bad loans, and repackage and resell the loans in ways that obscured their true level of risk, and make bets on those loans with their clients’ money. Everyone one got sucked in (from homeowners to governments) because it was so easy to get a cheap loan. When the loans started to shit the bed, Wall Street firms began to go under and consumer and corporate faith in our economy collapsed, resulting in a massive pullback in spending that drove the economy into the biggest recession in 80 years.

The root causes of your unemployment still exist. With Greece, Spain, and Ireland still threatening to bring down the world economy because of their bad debt, we are far from being out of the woods. This has nothing to do with your work ethic or sense of honor. You, me, everyone remains at personal risk. Those motherfuckers in Congress refuse to fix the underlying problems with our financial system. That’s why people are taking to the streets.

This dude simmers so with resentment that it spills out into boldface!

Look buddy, you got a free fucking education courtesty of the American taxpayer. That’s the reason you’re earning equity instead of paying off school loans.

If you’re so fucking well-off, why are you whining? You must be a pill to be around, you smug self-entitled motherfucker.

What would you do if you had $100 million? Wouldn’t you give at least a little of it away to help your fellow middle class bro’s? HP’s new CEO, Meg Whitman, spent $100 million of her own money (earned as CEO of eBay) on campaign commercials in a failed attempt to be California’s next governor.

HP recently laid off senior engineers in Oregon. They’re too expensive compared to new hires. Hopefully this guy makes so little that he’ll avoid the chopping block next time.

With the money you saved from your taxpayer-subsidized education you were able to make a 20% down payment on your home. You’ve got a milk mustache from sucking so hard on the government teat.

And how do you express your thanks? By running a website that hands out crackpot Ron Paul books.

You may be in for a rude awakening in the job market, especially since state and federal support for continued unemployment benefits is tenuous. You better pray that Obamacare doesn’t get repealed because your increased health insurance expenses make you less competitive to employers compared to kids right out of school.

Who’s going to pay for dad’s health insurance if he becomes too sick to work?

If you’re pinching pennies and working overtime, why is okay that the richest Americans pay a lower share of their income in taxes than you do?

Families earning more than $1 million a year saw their federal tax rates drop more than any other group as a result of the Bush tax cuts.

“Life is unfair”. That’s why you pay a far larger share of your income in taxes than the top 1% of Americans. That’s why the incomes of the richest Americans have risen over the past three decades while the incomes of the middle class have been stagnant.

Life will continue to be unfair until citizens decide to seek fairness for the middle class.

“Just because I once took taxpayer money doesn’t mean it’s okay for you!”

Low-information voters like her are a Republican’s wet dream.

Let’s see…you worked your ass off for everything you have, with the possible exception of your heavily taxpayer-subsidized education.

I’m not sure the taxpayers got a good deal on their investment, seeing as you are unable to make arguments that aren’t riddled with obvious contradictions.

So you’re okay with unfairness even though it means you pay a far higher percentage of your income in taxes than the top 1%? If your state charges sales tax then you’re paying even more than your fair share.

First of all, you sucked on the government teat all through your public grade school years so I’m not sure where you get off trashing the 99 percenters.

Secondly, your argument makes absolutely no sense other than as the primal scream of a stuffed monkey.

If you made it through college debt-free then guess what: your education was probably subsidized by the American taxpayer. What about that high school you barely graduated from? If it was a public school then you’ve dined at the government trough for longer than you’d like to admit.

And now you want the government to get out of your way? Some balls you have sir!

This is a good example of how colleges have absolutely failed to teach critical thinking.

Okay dude, first you say “I attended one of the best public universities”, followed by the statement “I paid for school”. Let’s just stop right there and clarify something. 

YOU DID NOT PAY FOR MOST OF YOUR SCHOOLING.

The bulk of your education costs were covered by American taxpayers. It’s what enabled you to get become an AP-caliber student even though your mom made minimum wage.

And now I see you’re an economic genius. Abolish the Fed? You should spend less time flapping your gums and bone up on improving the precision of your thinking.
