heh, a person like halik worked for his education and good job is a parasite and those sitting on their ass trying to get money from the rich are not.
For such f'ed up logic, being on your ignore list is an honor and praise.
He's on my ignore list, but from seeing quotes, 'quantitative trader'. Ya, that's never a sleazy position working for sleazy interests in a sleazy industry extracting wealth.
He'll point fingers and attack people better than him for liberal arts, for not being the parasite of the industry of parasites, but has no idea about the right and wrong of it.
It's always so respectable, whether it's men in suits ordering chemicals to be dropped on Vietnamese farmers, or exploitave financial schemes to rip America apart.
If anyone is hate mongering, it's those liberals on this board pushing their 99% vs 1%, mainstreet vs. Wall St. hatred. Rest of us just want to go on with our life, protecting money we make so we can give our kids better education and decent retirement for ourselves. (sure we are not in the 1%, but many fall in the $250k bracket with 2 income and works in the financials industries)

No, the fucked up logic is you thinking everyone can just 'make it' by working hard. Sorry, but again, it's not just the 'history major's getting fucked, by business, engineering, science majors, etc. etc.
When the pie is shrinking, it's not just the lazy asses that are going to get screwed, you dumbass. I've seen so many conservative dipshits who got layed off at my workplace who do a complete 180 when it's their turn to get fucked by the system.
The fundamental flaw in your logic is that the pie is fixed size.
Nothing is stopping these people from living in their parents garage, starting the next Facebook, and making millions or billions.
Zuckerburg created his wealth and nothing is stopping anyone else from doing the same.
Sadly we have this entitlement mentality where instead of being a family unit, everyone feels entitled to live on their own. Instead of paying off your loans people feel entitled to buy gadgets and expensive cell phones. Instead of buying food, people pay for the internet.
And then those people go around bitching because they have not money.
Just look at your 99er site.

Strawman much?Yes. You have had a tough life. Now u have made it and everyone who didn't must be pathetic and deserve nothing in life.

Go check labor stats on unemployment by industry you'd see people in financial, professional and technical services have much lower unemployment rate. ~5%-6%. Does people get laid off? Sure this is a world wide recession that affected all. But those of us who made the right career choices, worked for the degrees and training are still doing alright relatively.
The sad thing is, you all hate mongering people have no clue, or don't want to admit how much the financial revolution have helped the world economy. Yeah we have some problems, but everyone who went out and took mortgage they couldn't afford or get credit debt they cannot pay off is as bad as those who offered it. Now you have bunch of morons with no financial background, no knowledge about how things work go on clueless protest, hindering people's job and don't offer and constructive suggestion and simply point fingers on other.
How pathetic.
Yeah except you're discounting those recent college graduates with those 'sought after degrees' who are going into unrelated menial jobs. Besides that, unemployment statistics is a fucking joke and total unemployment (and yes, this includes those white collar jobs) is much higher than 9% or whatever the government is reporting.
The term is underemployment.
And since when are people entitled to whatever job they want?
Just because you majored in computer science doesn't make you entitled to a job in that field.
Underemployment has ripple effect. College grads taking menial jobs means even more unskilled workers not having those jobs as well.
And who's fault it is that these people are unskilled and cannot get a job?
(Hint: Not mine, yours, wall street, or the taxpayer)
People make poor choices and now have to live with the consequences. I am not sure why the concept of personal responsibility is so hard to some to grasp.

As i said before, only a very small insignificant group (mostly ron paul supporters) can claim they were consistent in their opposition to government handouts and were actively protesting (even in the GWB days). But you're flat out wrong if you don't think that the tea party became a more national presence because a) Blacky McBlackman Barack HUSSEIN Osama, oops i mean Obama, was elected b) Because he had the AUDACITY to try to help main street (with a pathetically small package, if you are honest about it) and c) The Tea party movement as we know it was hijacked by moneyed corporate interests/fox news and became an astroturfing organization. Even some of the original tea party leaders (from the ron paul days) have complained about being hijacked.

Not true according to this report:
http://money.cnn.com/2011/02/10/pf/college_graduates_salaries/index.htm
Quote: "Certain engineering majors, however, saw significant jumps, with electrical engineering majors receiving an average salary offer of $61,690 -- up 4.4% from the previous year. Offers for mechanical engineers climbed 3.8% to $60,598."
Not sure which menial jobs offer $60k for fresh grads. You can cite anecdote about a few people's job losses here and there, but that doesn't mean $hit in the overall economic reality.
No, actually, hating the player is very appropriate here. There was a study that came out that traders are more reckless and manipulative than psychopaths:
http://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/0,1518,788462,00.html
I did see that on CNBC last week and I'm inclined to believe Der Spiegel completely made it up (it's a tabloid like the Sun in the UK). I googled high and low to find the actual paper that was supposedly submitted/published in Journal of Economic Psychology with no luck. MBAs don't write peer-reviewed research and depending on what news article you read, it either mentions stock brokers or traders.

Lol, no it's not, it's not in the tabloid format, it's more like Germany's version of Time or Newsweek and it's a very well respected publication.
You all seem to spend more time protesting these protestors then doing the work you say you are being paid to do.
