Okay, so...I will let you guess who is responding, below, under the name of "OverEducatedUnderPaid," to these anti-99%ers/ anti-Occupy Wallstreeters.
Then, if you'll pardon me, I might have to go vomit.

Since when does an adjunct only work 4 hrs a day? And since when does he or she earn $70K? Actually, one of the biggest scams in the corporation that is higher ed (don't be fooled into thinking someone's not making big money off of this part of the American dream racket) is that, as much as possible, colleges and universities try to ONLY hire adjuncts (along with some graduate students, who, as if it were humanly possible, earn even less) to teach the most "important" classes that everyone has to take -- like freshman composition. And most of the people who teach those classes do it as their sole livelihood by teaching at 3 or 4 different institutions at once. It's estimated that writing instructors spend something like 25 min. per student paper they read. If they teach 3 classes a semester (a.k.a. 60 students -- considered a heavy load by full time tenured people earning 2 or 3 times their salary, which isn't even always saying that much), they are lucky to make $39, 150 per year -- and that's ONLY IF they're lucky enough to a) be able to also get a full class load during the summer (unlikely) and IF they're lucky enough to live in pricey SoCal, which pays substantially more than elsewhere. (If they live in pricey NYC and meet all the above conditions, make that a whopping $26,100 annually. Now, let's face it: you can't even wipe your a** in NYC on $26,100, and, mind you, these are people who generally need to be paying off graduate school loans). Oh -- and did I mention that these jobs usually offer no health insurance or any other benefits. But no, these folks occupying Wall Street just need to stop crying and go to school ("oh, young people are the future!" "Education is the key!" yada yada yada) and get a job...so they can aspire to...what, exactly?
Why does society need to be responsible for these people and the choices they have made???
The "builder" put "out of business" twice...really...you would have thought that you might have saved some money after the first time...
It is about time people start taking responsibility for their own actions...
