Get $50 for almost zero effort. Seriously.

In an effort to promote my blog, I am giving away four $50 MasterCard gift certificates. All you have to do is respond to one of my posts. Once I have received a total of 50 posts, all from different people (and not from autobots), I will randomly select 4 of those people to send the gift cards to. That puts your odds of winning at 8%. Your odds of winning $50 on a $5 scratch off lottery ticket? .31%. I am doing this because my blog is the best ever. So post something awe inspiring.

Occupy a job please

Why is the media glorifying the occupy Wall Street movement? They are all over the freaking place getting their protest on for months now, and I still have no freaking idea what they are protesting? Corporate greed? What?!? What does that even mean? I'm pretty sure they don't even know why they are protesting. These spoiled little idiots have no idea how lucky they are to live in America. I've traveled to Africa and seen poverty that would literally make you sick to your stomach. I've seen streets covered in trash and people living in cemeteries. I've seen people living with no running water or electricity. That's worth protesting about. These ignoramuses think that when someone with decades of corporate experience and a master’s degree in finance gets a large bonus, that its pure evil? Did I miss something when I was learning capitalism 101? Listen, just because you decided to go to UCLA and be a 5 year English major, doesn't mean corporate America is responsible for paying off your student loans. Just STFU and go defecate in a toilet for a change. All that time spent protesting should be spent looking for a job. If these invalids took one minute to even think about their slogan "we are the 99%", they'd realize its complete non-sense. 51% of Americans pay absolutely no income tax. The top 1% they are targeting, pays 30% of all federal income taxes. I think it's the rich people that should be protesting. Oh and the whole warren buffet pays less in taxes than his personal assistant? BS. The problem is that people don't understand capital gain taxes. Warren's buffet secretary gets taxed on her earned income wages (W2). Warren buffet gets taxed on the returns he gets from his many investments. That is a mjor difference. Should the capitol gains tax rate be increased? Maybe? I don't have enough information about it to make a stupid sign and go scream about something I don't understand. You really want a fair system? Flat tax. Everyone gets taxed 15% on every source of income. Now that's fair. Instead we just demonize the wealthy. I can't believe the America I live in now vilifies hard work and success. I'm shedding a red, white, and blue tear
