When people like that watch those very same Wall Street shysters and "too big to fail" bank executives - that ruined the economy - then pay themselves bonuses in the tens and sometimes hundreds of millions... well, who can blame them for feeling just a tad of "jealous hate".
Moreover, now that they're jobless, soon to be evicted and sans credit for a whopping seven years, many of them aren't exactly fanboys of unregulated capitalism anymore.
I don't know about you, but I'm not quite so inclined to begrudge those poor slobs their anger  |
It's not okay to be running 3 months outside of bankruptcy.. hard working, or not, people who lose their jobs and immediately lose their house couldn't afford what they lived in, in the first place.
And what you call unregulated capitalism just simply IS NOT. The days of free enterprise and fair competition are gone. The government has its hand in EVERYTHING. THEY decide which businesses survive. Play ball with them or die. Be in the way of someone who plays ball with them, be a much better business with better prices, die ANYWAY!!!
