You Might Be An Occupier, If:
1. You moved to a tent in Zucotti Park because you always wanted a nicer place to live.
2. You quit your job to attend the protests, but your mother continues your allowance and now does the dishes herself.
3. You are confused that you can’t find the Wal-Mart on Wall Street.
4. You are enraged that the taxpayers had to bail out Wall Street even though you’ve
never paid taxes or know anyone who has.
never paid taxes or know anyone who has.
5. You hate capitalism but expect a capitalist to provide you a good paying job with great
benefits.
benefits.
6. You think Socialism has something to do with Facebook, and Capitalism has to do with Washington, DC.
7. You demand a job, forgetting that you were fired for not doing the one you had.
8. You despise the rich even though they pay your share of taxes.
9. You’re a little behind in your rent because your drug dealer insisted on cash.
10. You are very clear in your protest objectives:
“Screw the USA”
“Save the ______ (fill in the blanks) whales, spotted owls, sturgeon)”
“Self-realization is the first step toward self-actualization”
“Down with uh everything!”
“Save the ______ (fill in the blanks) whales, spotted owls, sturgeon)”
“Self-realization is the first step toward self-actualization”
“Down with uh everything!”
11. You think 99 weeks of unemployment is the least the government should give you for the 3 months you put in at McDonalds.
12. You drove a Toyota to the protest, you’re plugged in to a Sony Walkman, talk over a Samsung phone, and play a Yamaha keyboard in a punk band, but you are incensed over jobs being outsourced to other countries.
13. You demand your rights, but can’t quite recall where they are enumerated.
14. You believe you have a right to every penny earned, but the rich do not, and you base your claim on equality.
15. You believe a man is greedy if he worked his way up to CEO on 16-hour days, runs a company employing thousands, and made $10 million last year, but is not greedy if he made $50 million last year for making two motion pictures or shooting a ball through a hoop.
16. You are convinced the system is holding you back from gaining wealth, status, and position. Dropping out of high school, dulling your mind with crack and MJ, a few arrests on your record, and stealing from your employer had nothing to do with it.
17. You left behind trash, feces, urine-soaked sod, discarded clothing, and used condoms after your Save the Environment protest.
18. You know you’re not a Socialist because you stick pretty much to yourself at parties.
19. You want to improve the environment and you have the tattoos and piercings to prove it.
20. You don’t pay taxes, but somehow that’s more than your fair share.
21. You hate the rich, but hope you win the lottery.
22. You haven’t bathed in over a month, but demand to be taken seriously.
23. From the looks of it, “greening” the environment means starting with your teeth.
24. You know your cause is just – because Nancy Pelosi admires you.
Sigh… And THEY are the generation that we’re supposed to turn over to??? I don’t think so…
