Do you think bankers taking advantage of a situation to make a profit is materially different from a homeowner refinancing their house in a bubble, taking out $150k, blowing that on cars, vacations and expensive clothes and wanting a bailout when they can no longer afford the mortgage?
Obviously. The majority of the people who aren't bankers didn't take out $150K to blow on nonsense. That's something that some did that you're dishonestly trying to blame everyone for. The bankers lobbied for the repeal of the oversight that would have prevented the damage they caused. Further after causing that damage they're far richer than ever. When a system is designed to reward the worst failures the most it's broken.
these dimwit protesters now,
From what I've seen with my own eyes rather than through the filter of a media owned by the people they're protesting against, these dimwit leeches as you refer to them are composed of a large number of professionals (teachers, professors, nurses and so on) as well as college students.
They are brightwitted enough to recognize that their future was screwed and to recognize who is sitting there with all the money that was stolen from everybody else.
This is in direct opposition to the Tea Baggers who are just spouting the ignorant lies that were fed to them by Koch industries to support rule by unearned wealth.
So, no, they're not all the same. The bankers caused the problem intentionally and reaped the only benefits to be had hence are clearly the bad guys here.
The Tea Baggers are the brownshirts of the bad guys funded and fed the lies of the bad guys.
The Occupy crowd are patriotic citizens standing up for their real actual rights. Like the right not to be robbed and defrauded.
If you're truly so ignorant of current events and of historical trends, why wouldn't you be ashamed to spout such blatant willful ignorance? Oh yeah, the anti-intellectual movement also funded by the bad guys made knowing what you're talking about uncool and spouting ignorant crap the new cool thing.
Congrats, you're cool like Paris Hilton. Good little doggie.
