“This is not the future I was promised!” reads the 3’x3′ cardboard square held by a raging 20-something Wall Street demonstrator… I suspect she suspected life would be easier…
Now who would be these promisers,her parents? You think her parents promised her something other than what she’s getting? That life would be that proverbial bowl of cherries? Or did she somehow interpret political-speak to suggest that she’d be better off today? Was she promised a free lunch?
So what’s her story? Is she the worldly college student with a change-the-world attitude? Is she the laid-off factory worker on her 98th week of unemployment? Is she the trust-fund baby who’ll never need to work? Did she get fired from Starbucks for dipping into the till? Is she the stay-at-home mom? Does she have bills to pay? Bills she wants us (taxpayers) to pay? Hmm??
What indeed would inspire her to leave her post in life to rebel without a [clearly defined] cause… By leaving work, by (assuming she lost her job) pushing her unemployment aid to the limit, by leaving her bills unpaid, is she saying she wants what the big banks got? A bailout? Is she thus a bit of a hypocrite?
Just saying……
