And about those "demands"...

Lotsa freebies being demanded by these "economic justice" goons. Free college, free healthcare, free houses. Free houses? Yes and free vacations, free consumer goods of every imaginable type are being demanded under the guise of "wipe out all the debt".
For what do people accumulate debt for anyway? Usually not to make payments on a gift to charity, that's for sure.

Now let's pretend someone is silly enough to grant this "wipe out the debt" wish. Let's call this magician the magical fairy Hussein. Hussein waves his magic wand and you no longer have to pay for anthing you "bought" on credit. The bank, that granted you the loan (and the loans of millions of others) GO OUT OF BUSINESS as they are now stuck with worthless paper. You get to keep your car, your condo and your edumacation, but you will never see another loan again. And neither will anyone else as the fairy has proclaimed your contracts (nobody put a gun to your head, you freely charged that cruise to nowhere, champ)null and void.

So with nobody lending cash (as it's now a gift not a loan) nobody is building cars, nobody is building houses and nobody is making any of the things usually paid for by credit cards or loans. Wh would they? As a present to you, your maj?

And if that doesn't convince you, this is how I convinced a colleague. I asked her if she would continue to work all those extra shifts if she knew it was to pay for my kid's college or her neighbor's mortgage. Hell NO! was the resounding reply. And the MAximalist would not work to hand over her earnings to someone who decided that he should get a "living wage" even if he doesn't work.

Multiply that "Hell NO!" by the millions of people who work and pay taxes.

We can learn to sit on our tails and ask for things too. When the day comes that we have to work to give to others and have nothing to enjoy or show for our efforts, we will stop supporting all of us.

Is this what you have in mind?

Children of the protest. There are no freebies, someone always has to pay the bill.

Now man up and pick up your own check.

And don't say "well it's easy for you to say, Max, you never had to struggle with a bad economy" BS. I graduated college in 1979. The only jobs in my local paper (there was no internet in 1979) were for exotic dancers and arc welders. I kept my little part time library job, lived in a room in a truly dilapidated student co-op, and ate boiled rice until I managed to find a hamberger helper quality job.

Eventually the economy improved and I moved up and onward.

I never once threatened to guillotine the evil rich. And I was glad the banks saw me loan worthy. I paid back ever dime.

I learned that I could live through bad times when plenty of people still had it good. Hating them wouldn't have helped me.

But I still hate rice.
