If our Founding Fathers could see America now, what would they say?

This whole Occupy crap is annoying me. Granted, I do not know exactly what their deal is. I am not going take the time to research their platform or ideals. But, from the crap I see on the news, it sounds stupid to me. Please, educate me if I am wrong. 

But really, you want to complain to me about your debt? No one made you take out a loan for an overpriced education. When I graduated high school, I had the brains to attend college; I lacked the funds to attend college. I did not want to owe thousands of dollars when I was 22, so I sidestepped that dream. You made the choice to take out a loan. Don't blame the world for your mistake. 

You have a problem with people that have insane amounts of money? Too bad! Honest hard work, a rich granddaddy, or sheer dumb luck- it doesn't matter hoe they got it, the money is theirs. They do not owe you a handout. Hell, they already pay more in US taxes than you will ever earn. They shouldn't have to pay for your lack of financial planning. 

The world owes you nothing. Yeah, our economy is in the gutter. Yes, the job market sucks. But living in a tent in a public area, using the government's electricity and water, doesn't accomplish much. You want to see changes?

"Be the change you wish to see in the world."

Or join the military. College assistance, steady paycheck, and the chance to actually make a difference. Plus, a haircut. 

Boom. Problem solved. 

What do I know about the world and it's troubles? I am just a housewife, right? Yep, I am. Just a housewife, with no higher education. But I kind of make it a habit to not walk through life with blinders. I read a lot to educate myself. I am not some amazing studied person. But I am not the village idiot, either. 

P.S. I had a really good day hanging with A. She rocks. The chicks had a blast hanging with friends. So much fun that they didn't want to take a nap and were so cranky we put them to bed a half hour early. But it was still a good day.
