I guess the protestors are still around, but where?
• You moved to a tent in Zucotti Park because you always wanted a nicer place to live.
• You quit your “job” to attend the protests, but your Mother continues your allowance and now does the dishes herself.
• You are confused that you can’t find the Wal-Mart on Wall Street.
• You are enraged that the taxpayers had to bail out Wall Street even though you’ve never paid taxes or know anyone who has.
• You hate capitalism but expect a capitalist to provide you a good paying job with great benefits.
• You think Socialism has something to do with Facebook, and Capitalism has to do with Washington, DC.
• You demand a job, forgetting that you were fired for not doing the one you had.
• You despise the rich even though they pay your share of taxes.
• You’re a little behind in your rent because your crack dealer insisted on cash.
• You are very clear in your protest objectives: “Screw the USA,” “Save the ______ (fill in the blanks – whales, spotted owls, sturgeon . . .),” “Self-realization is the first step toward self-actualization,” “Down with … uh, … everything!”
• You think 99 weeks of unemployment is the least the government should give you for the 3 months you put in at McDonalds.
• You drove a Toyota to the protest, you’re plugged in to a Sony Walkman, talk over a Samsung phone, and play a Yamaha keyboard in a punk band but you are incensed over jobs being outsourced to other countries.
• You demand your rights, but can’t quite recall where they are enumerated.
• You believe you have a right to every penny earned, but the rich do not. And you base your claim on equality.
• You believe a man is greedy if he worked his way up to CEO on 16-hour days, runs a company employing thousands, and made $10 million last year, but is not greedy if he made $50 million last year for making two motion pictures or shooting a ball through a hoop.
• You are convinced the “system” is holding you back from gaining wealth, status, and position. Dropping out of high school, dulling your mind with crack and MJ, a few arrests on your record, and stealing from your employer had nothing to do with it, I’m sure.
• You left behind trash, feces, urination, discarded clothing, and used condoms after your “Save the Environment” protest.
• You know you’re not a Socialist because you stick pretty much to yourself at parties.
• You want to improve the environment and you have the tattoos and piercings to prove it.
• You don’t pay taxes, but somehow that’s more than your “fair share”.
• You hate the rich but hope you win the lottery.
