Protesters demand fair distribution of wealth
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090328/ap_on_re_eu/eu_g20_protests
LONDON – Thousands of people marched through European cities Saturday to demand jobs, economic justice and environmental accountability, kicking off six days of protest and action planned in the run-up to the G20 summit next week in London.
They want jobs created out of thin air? What the hell is Economic Justice? Environmental Accountability? Hell, I need a job making up bullshit buzzwords
Protest organizers said they wanted leaders from the world's top 20 economies to adopt a more transparent and democratic economic recovery plan.
No..they want to dictate that money be thrown at people who do nothing but march against capitalism and live on the dole.
Brendan Barber, says: "If we can generate fabulous wealth, as we can, then surely we can learn how to distribute that wealth more fairly. If we can unleash a technological revolution then surely we can ensure that everyone on this planet gets the food, the shelter and the health care that they need," he said.
The only reason we have great wealth and technological revolution is because there the government still allows entreprenurial enterprises to profit. When taxes punish production there is no incentive to produce.
You want to talk morals? Why the hell should the money earned by sweat, risk taking and capital investment be confiscated and given to those who refuse to take responsibility for their own financial security. You want fairness? Stop stealing the money of hard working people and giving it to goldbricking layabouts.
Big protests were also held in Germany. Around 15,000 people gathered in Berlin, and a demonstration also was held in Frankfurt, Germany's banking capital, under the slogan: "We won't pay for your crisis."
Well wait a minute here...this crisis was caused by programs you demanded that forced banks under "fair lending rules" to give home loans to low income people with bad credit. Now you are saying you don't want to pay taxes to fix this mess? Shit or get off the pot you two faced morons.
Trade unions and left-wing groups in Geneva mobilized some 250 people who marched through town with banners reading "Capitalism is a mistake" and chants of "Revolution."
Excuse me Mr trade union. If it weren't for capitalism..you would be dirt farming for some feudal lord. Union members for the most part are hard working people trying to get by and you are trying to eliminate the reason they have a job in the first place.
"The whole economic meltdown ... There's a really good opportunity for governments to get together and invest in a sustainable future," said unemployed Steve Burson, 49.
There is nothing sustainable about taxing buisnesses and workers to death and funneling all the money into a vast government trough where a good majority of it is looted by the same socialist "reformers" you admire. Why do you think the USSR and Eastern Bloc fell 20 years ago? It was because they tried and the same nonsense that you are currently pushing and failed miserably.
How soon we forget.

Well. Talk about a plan coming together. Why doesn't George Soros' name come up more often?
What you say is absolutely true. People have to stop depending on other people for jobs - furthermore for job security and pensions and health plans etc - I'm surprised workers haven't been asking for hot lunches as well. Used to be people took care of their own needs as much as possible.
Idiots on parade.
Hammer,
Why the beef?
Don't you know Brendan has a mouse in his pcoket.

Yes, indeed. You'd think those enlightened Europeans would have figured that out by now.
Tax the rich
Feed the poor
Till there ain't no
Rich no more...
Yes how we forget.
I was on a march in London yesterday a couple of hours after this one, unfortunatly we did not get as much attension!
What I would like to see, and Obama promised, is the tax breaks for outsourcing our jobs abolished. I would also like to see companies heavily fined for employing illegal aliens.
Then we need to re-instate anti-monopoly laws so when one huge company fails, it doesn't endanger our entire economy.
What we ultimately need, to rebuild our economy, is more blue-collar workers and fewer bankers, stock brokers, and ad executives. Sweat is what built this country, and sweat is the only way to save it now!
excellent post, Hammer!
Enjoyed Larry's poem!

Vive la revolution! Now where's my union papers, need to get stamped or maybe tattooed on my forehead - damned foreigners.
Some ideas are just too simple for people to understand. As you said, tax the hell out of an economy and no one will have the incentive to produce...God help us now.
"Hell, I need a job making up bullshit buzzwords"
In today's news, Hammer made an impassioned plea for increased public awareness of Copro-Saturated Zeitgeist Vocabulary. Sources say Hammer was "pissed off" and that the throbbing vein in his forehead was a sign to witnesses that he'd "had it up to here with the fucking walking jizzmops of society".
Joan, yep a hedge fund billionaire.. everytime a fund fails he makes millions.
jeannie: Businesses can't afford pensions anymore some can't even pay on the old ones. It's a shame.
Admiral: Yes indeed.
WP: Yep because I know for a fact brendan hasn't produced anything.
pistolero, each generation has to re-learn this.
Larry: hippie songs sound cool till we have to live the lyrics :)
Casdok: You didn't get attention because what you were saying made sense.
tshsmom: I'm not holding my breath for Obama to keep any of hsi promises, he's already broken over 50 in his first 60 days.
Airman mom: thanks! That's a song by ten years after that seems to be coming true unfortunately.
Maddy: yep I fisgure we are going to get serial numbered and chip implanted soon enough.
Mike: I think the people who don't understand economics, want to destroy what they irrationally fear and hate.
Kelly: That really needs to be my new profile!
It's amazing that a little common sense can wither the most potent liberal, populist rhetoric. Good job!
The marchers are handout-leeches who don't produce anything except their own irrational jealousy and bloated feelings of entitlement to cover up their deep insecurity and lack of self worth..
I just read aloud your whole post to mr Garden, he likes the way you think and enjoy your opinion, he also ads that most of the protesters are civil servants who are living on our taxes and ask for salary increase.
FHB: Yeah it's not too hard to knock their arguments out of the water.but I doubt anyone but a fence sitter would listen.
DirtCrashr: well put. This is how I see it as well.
Kitem: thanks to you and Mr Garden for the kind words. I agree,we have government employees here who don't produce anything but headaches for all who have to deal with their laziness and ineptitude.
