but how do we verify these stories i could make one sob story now and noone would kno if true

It's a fair point there is no way of proving these stories are genuine but given the figures on foreclosures and unemployment it's probable that they're true.

A record 2.82 million homes faced foreclosure foreclosed in 2009, according to RealtyTrac, a web-based firm that tracks and markets foreclosed homes. It is anticipated that at least 3 million more homes will enter foreclosure in 2010.

Last year saw an increase of 21 percent in the number of homes in foreclosure from 2008, in spite of President Barack Obama’s much-vaunted “housing rescue.” In all, 1 in 45 US homes was subject to at least one foreclosure filing, or 2.21 percent of all homes, compared with 1.84 percent in 2008, 1.03 percent in 2007, and 0.58 percent in 2006, according to RealtyTrac’s “Year-End 2009 Foreclosure Market Report.”

The number of people who lacked health insurance last year climbed to 49.9 million, up from 49 million in 2009, the Census Bureau said Tuesday.

Nationwide, 16.3% of the population was uninsured last year, statistically unchanged from 2009.

Uninsured in America

Three groups comprised the bulk of the uninsured in 2010, including foreign-born residents who are not U.S. citizens, young adults ages 19 to 25 and low-income families with an annual household income of less than $25,000.

I honestly think we're heading that way Supermalt.

Not for a very long while, but I genuinely believe our natural instinct for survival is going to take us there.

Some of you need to look up usury and realise the basis upon which we've built this world, this system.

It's destined to fail.

This current system i.e. capitalism is has been really abused to benefit a few but has been the only proven system to lift whole nations out of poverty and support creative minds that have constantly pushed mankind forward and beyond its limits.

I know I sound like some old white guy but every other system that has challenged it has failed, and created 'elites' in one way or another anyway.

we might be headed to a different world, but it would be more like the wild wild west rather a 100% middle class.

at the same time its not as bad as its being made to seem........it took the rise of the price of bread and oil in Egypt to rise up after 40yrs of suffering a dictatorship.....in the end it was bread and oil that made people wake up finally...........the US hasnt got there yet.nor has the UK.... Greece has.......thats why they are doing what they are doing..........as long as more people are watching X factor and boardwalk empire...than what and who is affecting their daily lives...then no one's suffering really just yet. but before the end of October a major financial incident will happen.

The system is clever. Everyone is looking at the wrong people.

The real winners are people like the Royal family. Do you think queen liz knows about credit crunch? Not at all. And it's not cos she worked hard or did anything. Just born into the correct bloodline. People like her are living bossy. Not people who earn 60k a year.

Real Talk.

Watch The Company Men.

Earnings go up, so do living expenses, most people can't afford to lose a job.

Its nt 50% of his salary tho is it?

its the principple

people who work hard for their money deserve to keep it

END OF

PERIOD

I agree to an extent but much of the wealth in this country wasn't obtained through hard work and enterprise.

There are certain double barrelled named man out there who couldn't even tell you how they came into money their family has had it so long.

William the conqueror giving people land during feudalism shouldn't hold weight today, that isn't fair.

Nuff wealth needs to be stripped and put back in the pot, if this happens then you will see a fairer society and real equal opportunities.

Yeah lets blame "WALL ST" for everything

PMSL.

I work 24 hours shifts sometimes

I have never taken a lunch break in my life

My previous 2 girlfriends left me because "my job came first"

I was deported from the USA because of my job

Most people retire from my job at 30 due to stress

The rest turn to drink and drugs

I have to commute almost 2 hours to get to work

My boss is a racist, biggotted, sexist etc lunatic who I have to smile at every day

I have not taken a holiday in 2 years

I am taxed at 40%

The student loan company also STILL takes a portion of my wage each month

I guess being the 1% is easy and I should feel sorry for the idiots who can't budget or do something with their lives and instead look for the easy way out by claiming 40% of my wages and moaning about WALL ST pmsl, you lazy fucking cunts you couldn't work a single day at my job you'd probably run to H.R. after ur first morning on a trading desk/floor.

The saddest thing about your life is that you think you're doing something productive.

tbf bankers create wealth - so he is doing something productive

im not anti- banker at all i dont see why people should be penalised for getting a career that most [peopkle would love to have. i also dont see why someone has to be taxed as much as 40% as pernell claimed for others to benefit from thier labour

bankers create wealth from nothing. anyone could create wealth, but only bankers are allowed to.not like these guys are mozart or something, although you would have a time convincing these fatheaded cokefiends otherwise. theres nothing particularly productive or worthwhile about forcing market crashes and weakening economies through writing endless iou's. or making thousands of people lose there jobs or savings and then turning around and saying you deserve to keep your 'hard earned' money tax free in the midst of the chaos you have created. these men are devils and if they were a race you would probably be a full on death row race hatred warrior. but theyre not a race,so they are your role models for success. you are the 99 %

im aware i am part the '99%' but if i ever make it to the other side fuck you niggas

everyone who is anti banker

if someone today offered you to go and work for credit suisse, ubs, societe generale etc etc on a £100,000 + salary plus bonuses

would you accept?

if the answer is yes then your points are null and void to me

i would take the job, but i would make changes *does tony blair thumb over fist gesture*

but working in the finance sector had never been something i wanted to do. if u want to do it go ahead.

do ppl hate bankers because we wish we could be them and live a rock star lifestyle, or is it because they fuck us over to live the uneccesary rockstar lifestyle (they are not rockstars) and we would prefer if they wouldnt

the financial system and the carte blanche that bankers have is actually ridiculous and needs to be changed, im all for people taking a stand against it. its something that clearly isnt working and is surplus to requirement. if bankers are the reason that we all become poorer yet their wages /perquisites are unaffected, will the problem go away if we all become bankers?

i think you must constantly dream of winning the lottery and buying loads of flash cars. i want to say thats quite an immature way of thinking, and im aware that most of your role models feel the same way. i can assure you the planet will burn quickly if everybodys ethos is make as much money as possible in a short space of time whilst disregarding everything. that is a chaos that whilst normal in a child or ghetto urchins fantasy, becomes destructive when repeated in every level of society, especially the top levels. or even in professions which are traditionally hinged upon a sense of responsibility, such as the field of medicine. i want to call the west diagram A and i want you to observe the decline in sustainablity in diagram A over the next 20 years, then construct a pie chart called the path to destruction with a small wedge called necessary and the rest is called unecessary. grab as much of the pie as you can and serve it to your children, they may have some wealth but they will not be happy for the pie will be high in cholestorol and will be a tasteless pie which may lead to obesity and premature heart failure.

The banks create wealth for themselves using the money of the public and now a lot of the public making loan applicatins to start businesses are being refused even though their money bailed them out.

The high street banks were guaranteed to make money by doing what they were originally formed to do, lend money and charge a rate of interest but that wasn't enough so they were taking huge gambles in investment banking out of greed.

They were effectively gambling with the worlds economy for personal gain and they lost, now that it has all fucked up they get bailed out and the people suffering the most are those at the bottom of the pyramid.

As we get older we're conditioned to lose sight of what is right and wrong on a very basic level, hence so many people being a picture of compassion and humanity in their place of worship on sunday but making excuses for being void of morals in business on monday.

I swear even working certain jobs over my life, It's sickened me to try and sell people shit they don't need.

This way of doing life we've accustomed to has spread everywhere. We're all too wrapped with our own problems and struggles and blinded by scarcity that we fail to realise, not only is this world not even close to being over-populated, we have the resources and technology to make serious changes across the planet.

Instead the world's smartest people are head hunted to become glorified gamblers, seriously limiting any real contributions they could ]make to the human race.

socialism 2.0 ftw.

On the flip side to this some people must take responsibility for their own foolishness. How can you be taking out mortgages with 125% LTV or buying a car thats costs more than your yearly salary. Just because something is available doesnt mean you should snatch at it.

The crash happened, tough shit. But a lot of people would have been affected a lot less if they had lived within their means and made better decisions. Instead of trying to access things they clearly couldnt afford.

A Bank's primary aim is to make money. Not to protect people from themselves.

everyone still bashing bankers. Bankers have always been borrowing money and making money.

its your governments who began to borrow more than they ever should, and why? to continue to make the lifestyle that people in the west were used to, remain stable.

people shouting about bankers while your govt borrows money to subsidise agriculture so you can pay peanuts for a tin of coffee while the farmers in americas get next to nothing, same applies to cocoa, soya beans, and hundreds of other crops.

perhaps the most people pay for is petrol.

The cheap, uncontrolled labour markets that the west has exploited and enjoyed all sorts of benefits from for the last few hundred years have began to dry up. what is happening is similar to what happened to the UK and it's colonies.

Asian, South American, and to some extent African markets are becoming better controlled and self financed and have no longer allowed the bullying that took place so that the west lives cosy. africa doesnt only need western investors nowadays, nor do any of the emerging markets. Investors have no loyalty to any government and have started moving to these newer markets, its the result of this that finally began to catch out the banks...and the governments with their endless borrowing to maintain "1st world" standards of living.

How can the richest nation also be the most indebted nation? what laws of economics has allowed this to happen? now Russia, Brasil, India, China and South Africa are being asked to help out and buy spanish and italian debtdry.gif.

if people continue to rely on a JOB for financial security then good luck with that cos that era is coming to an end.
