The rub of course, is that "we the people DID NOT ALLOW PRIVATE BANKS..." The purveyors of a Federal Reserve Bank sneaked a "back room, dark of night" passage. President Woodrow Wilson, who signed the bill, admitted apologetically just before his death... something to the effect that he ".... feared he'd unleashed untoward evil on the country..." So you see, WE PEOPLE didn't "allow" this... the Gummint RAMMED IT UP OUR ASSES... JUST LIKE THEY DO EVERYTHING ELSE!
with that said.... (well said too btw) well worth the time to watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnwLgrSJZKs
No, it's not. Blaming the global banking system for your problems isn't the solution. If you're not working, I don't think you can reasonably expect a paycheck. I don't buy the "I can't find a job" argument. Get off your butt and go find one. If you have to move, do what you need to do. There's plenty of opportunity out there. These people threw in the towell and decided to give up. This is the action of a mentally ill person who needs help, sure, but has too many problems to function in a normal society. Government is not your problem. Do something for your wage. If you're not doing anything, you should not expect a paycheck. Also, you have to be looking for work to receive unemployment benefits. These people probably aren't even doing that. I have no sympathy for the 19 year old who wanted to work at a casino as his career. A short lived career is what that would be.
The news that was dropped from that article was the subsequent rise in prostitution among the homeless... an occupation old but reliable!
Funny, but after i read this article, i just happened to notice a "tent city" outside of a small town in the napa wine country somewhere near calistoga.
total scam. there were and always will be tent citys. this is nothing new. bums and winos mostly--NO ONE in those videos looked even remotely middle class. This is is some kind of joke on you!
