Meet The 53%. Who are they? The term 53% refers to the people who are actually paying taxes for themselves and the rest of the country.
The 53% is a group of responsible young people organizing across the country. However, this group is not camping out in parks around the country and demanding the entire capitalist system be destroyed. These men and women have jobs (most of them work at more than one job in order to make ends meet), but they are talking about attending the Minneapolis Occupy Wall St. protest scheduled for today – Friday, October 7th.
I would also venture to say that the 99ers also cannot find a voter's registration card. I would also guess that all of them get some sort of government money every week or so.

I wouldn't count on them not finding a voter registration card. But I can't argue with the second part of your statement, because if you can't find a job and you aren't getting any food stamps or anything, you wouldn't be protesting, you'd be DEAD.

Go tell that to the full time pan handlers who make a $100 a day. It's pretty hard to starve in the US. Not saying it doesn't happen because of bad money management, but we give out enough welfare for the very bottom to exist far better than the poor of most other countries.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

That may (?) all be true but the protestors aren't demanding better panhandling results or better welfare benefits, they're protesting the lack of opportunity for even educated workers in today's economy.
(And do you seriously think that if the 43 million Americans who receive food stamps all took up panhandling instead that it would still be "hard" to starve in America?)

You're stretching what I said greatly...there is welfare for anyone who needs it. No, times won't be easy when you're on the bttom, but there will ALWAYS be those on the bottom. It really depends on which countries bottom is the lowest..and it's not us.
And as you can tell me how to fix the problem, you will be just another voice crying foul with no specific solutions that would give all these kids work (that they would accept doing).

There are "specific solutions" but you might not like them.
