Anonymous: Operation: Take Our Money Back by Anonymous
I am a proud American who is tired of seeing our great country being strangled to death by the actions of the big banks and their executives. For too long, these bankers have used our money and their “fractional reserve” system to routinely screw the average citizen. They use OUR money, loan out…
this entire problem could be resolved with universal health care for all!
these human persons called “veterans” are already having a hard time getting the care they need, and most of the rest of american human persons don’t even know about it, they just assume if you are a veteran you will be taken care of. meanwhile human persons who are not veterans are unable to get taken care of at all, and the american government human persons would rather serve big corporations like “insurance companies” instead of just doing the right thing and going to SINGLE PAYER UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE!!!
your president person said during the “health care debates” that if someone had a solution to the problems he wanted to hear it. but he lied. many doctors, nurses, regular persons, even republican human persons, said SINGLE PAYER UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, and he did not listen, he gave a blank check to corporations who destroyed health care in your country in the first place.
you know, some of you are too young to have seen for yourselves, but things were not always this way, broken and unaffordable and drowning in overpriced medications and careless service. nurses and doctors were not always inattentive because of mounds of paperwork, bribery from pharmaceutical companies, and hospitals telling them to make a profit off the pain of others. this is not how things used to be.
and now your veterans, truly a very small percentage of your population, are expected to shoulder yet more costs, while the military and secret police CIA thing spends hundreds of thousands of dollars flying video-game controlled drones all over the place blowing other human persons up in places you americans do not belong.
we have a suggestion to fix. SINGLE. PAYER. UNIVERSAL. HEALTH. CARE. and failing at that? you are all going down, and your veterans with you.
Occupy Everywhere!
20years ago I was a honor student with a Electronics degree in engineering. I worked in manufacturing. Back then I made $20-$22 an hour plus overtime. My last job offer was $9 an hour no overtime. I went into sales in the newspaper industry which is a dying dinosaur. No one buys advertising anymore. I am now back in college and it is soooo expensive today. My loans will be in excess of $100,000. The problem and why it will be so high? I transferred from Montana State to University Texas El Paso as a Junior. Texas won’t accept all my credits, i have to take Freshman classes that don’t make sense to me? My math, was pre-calculus, not accepted because this program has math that is specified for the UTEP degree. The same thing with my English Junior level did not transfer. I have to take art appreciation although I had 2 years drama from going to college 20 years ago. I transferred to be closer to my children and grandchildren. I don’t understand why the system is robbing me and financial aid so colleges can be choosy about their degree plans. It is not a good system to help people get ahead.

we found this post particularly interesting, after the blobfish explained “college” and “transfers” to us. because indeed, the idea that colleges are playing games while at the same time selling the notion of college education as a necessity for everyone (not as an education, mind you, not to expand your thoughts or knowledge, no, just so you can have a “job”, something we also had to have explained to us a few weeks ago)— oh, that is just WRONG.
and how about these for-profit colleges, who are taking money to keep you human persons as debt slaves?
see, we have a problem with that. sure, we are fish, so we didn’t know about “college”, but we are all about schools and schooling. it is what fish do! and to think that you human persons are being taught, first of all, that schooling is just for jobs? why that is a sickness right there!
did you know some other countries are adopting the original structure of america’s “liberal arts education”, countries like south korea, for example, because they understand that your type of education had something to do with your intense, amazing creativity and original thinking? and now you have what are called “conservatives” sneering at liberal arts education and claiming it is worthless and demanding it be dismantled, while at the same time they claim you need to jump through these hoops and get into debt so you can get a job at starbuck’s?
(and yes. we know what starbuck’s is. for one thing it is named after one of the helpless foe of the mightiest Swimmy ever there was. for another, we have them here too. don’t ask.)
if you are not following this tumblr yet, human persons, click to see! it is one of our favorite things. we have not shilled so vigorously for a tumblr besides our own, ever, until now! occupy everywhere! because you already do!

I ‘m a hard-working, college educated Generation X Father of two. I am lucky to have a full-time job but when you correct for inflation my pay is less than my parents in the 1970’s. Now younger people in Generation Y can’t find work that will pay them enough to survive. Multi-national corporations have prospered in the past 40 years. They have unfair advantage in our society, no allegiance to the United States, no social responsibility, and no limit to their greed. I fear for the future economic well being of my kids and my country. I am the 99 percent. occupywallst.org
