A "Movement" in the Wrong Direction

An angry, angry "occupier" needs Starbucks too to get going in the morning.

The occupy movement. What can be said? I have been letting my thoughts about this "movement" steep. First of all, what part of humanity would make it their mission to "occupy? IN all of the known world, is there not a more nobler pursuit than to merely exist somewhere where a person is not wanted?

The "occupy" movement is an incoherent mass of the undesired members of our society. In the animal kingdom, the term is "parasite". This group of people feel as if society owes them something that they have not received. This is called "entitlement". Here is an example of person who feels entitled.

There are now two camps in the United States: 1) The tax payers 2) The tax eaters. According to recent numbers, over 50% of households in the U.S. either don't pay taxes at all or receive government assistance (welfare) of some sort. You don't have to be educated to understand that one half of the U.S cannot pay for the other half for very long before we collapse.

Additionally, for the first time ever, Washington D.C. has the highest median income of any place in these United States. I should not have to point out that politicians don't produce anything for the economy. They are part of the "Tax Eater" group I was referring to earlier. How is it possible that there are so many of them sucking so much from our purplish governmental tit that they out earn the rest of the regions in the United States? The Obama administration has doubled the number of federal workers who make more than $150,000 in the last two years. This is insane. I once got into an argument with an unthinking liberal who insisted that the government created jobs. If you are getting paid through tax money, you are a "tax eater".

We live in the most entitled country on Earth. We are in the active process of entitling ourselves out of a civilization. The temptation is to wring our hands and ask ourselves, "How did we get here?". While the answer of that question seems fairly obvious to me, a more important question is, "Can we pull out of this nosedive?", and the follow up question, "How?"
