Ace of Spades On The Audacious Greed Of The OWS Mob

People are filled with vanity. Vanity defines people. People tell themselves pretty lies, to convince themselves they're superior to other people.
Case in point: The first guy's contention that "There is a thing called greed." He offers this as an insult to Peter Schiff. Later another guy gets into the "greed" thing too.

Both of these men seem to claim themselves to be virtuous, claiming they only want "simple things." Simple, materialistic things.

Here's a question for these guys:

When I work -- when I work, sporadic though that is lately -- I do so primarily for money.

Why do you guys work? (I mean, "you guys" as in "the guys in this video."

Altruism? You just show up for your jobs, and would do so, whether paid or not, because you're dedicated to doing work on behalf of others?

Hmmm... I sort of doubt that. I think you guys (again, the guys in this video) are working for the same reason as Peter Schiff: Money. Which is, in turn, simply a convenient unit of exchange for the most precious commodity in the world: Time.

When you buy a loaf of bread, you are giving up some of your time, in the convenient unit of exchange called money, by which you were paid for your time, for someone else's time.

This is why virtually everybody works. (Except for that blessed, tiny cadre of people who literally love their jobs and do their jobs almost entirely because they so enjoy it.)

So, these guys work for themselves. When they are compensated for the time they spend at work, they put that money into their pockets, and spend it on themselves (or their families).

And yet the self-deluded, entitled OWS crowd are absolutely insistent on the idea that other peopleshould spend large amounts of time working for the benefit of the OWS parasites.

Imagine walking up to any of these people on the street and ordering them: Come back to my house and clean my gutters, for free, because I want you to dedicate your time towards making my life easier.
Can you imagine the shock? The outrage?

And yet here at OWS these miscreants proudly proclaim that's what they want others to do. They want the productive people in society to mark off blocks of hours, days, and weeks to use their time working for their own selfish ends.

How many hours of our time -- we, who work -- do you who do not work think you are owed per week? How many hours per month do you believe we should dedicate towards supporting you?
FYNQ.

- The Government Has No Accountability To We The People
As Midnight Rider can attest to, trying to deal with bureaucracy in these trying times, is trying. When you don't have to worry about money, it's hard to truly understand those who actually do. And as far as bureaucracy is concerned, you can't...

- A Break From Blogging
As I write this, its my 4th (or 5th) consecutive night with partial insomnia. My work load is on the increase and there is so much going on in the world that I feel incapable of giving my brain some rest. Climategate, Dubai financial crisis, Swiss minarets,...

- A World Where Profit Has No Value? A Better World?
I have written more than several times about our congregation and how it is populated by some of the most wonderful people I have ever known. They are also all WAY to the left. Many want the USA essentially to be a commune (unvoiced). Well if it...

- Why The Clinton Retreads?
"Some Of The Guys Seeking Transition Jobs Were Just Scary" Obama is having trouble finding decent people who want to work for him, so instead of hiring his apostles, he is hiring Clinton retreads. I think we ought to be thankful for this, actually. Still,...

- What's With This Guy?
OK, I give up. Everyone knows I can't Photoshop worth a damn, but after that beheading story I had to give this guy some work. Enjoy either the humor of what I did or how poorly I did it. He needed some work though, don't you guys think? I need...
