Oh yes they can! Here's a sample of the stupidity straight from the jack-a$$e's mouth (this comes from one of the signs put up at the OccupyWallStreet encampment):

“Master’s degree in Minority Women’s Studies”
That has to be a joke.

When I was in boot camp, our platoon commander used to talk about the “ten per-centers”. his theory was that you could count on the fact that 10% of our platoon would not be able to make it through boot camp. He also stated that no matter where we ended up in life, there would always be those “ten per-centers”. His conclusion was that you could take ten percent of the world’s population, line them up against a wall and just shoot them.
I have grown to be in complete agreement with that fine man.
Semper Fi, Gunny Thommason where ever you are!
Agreed. Did you catch the part about the High Speed Internet and new car payment?
The girl is just sad. She claims that she can't find a decent job but my guess is that she would never consider doing anything too menial because she's 'educated'. She obviously assumed that her degree was the ticket to a comfortable middle-class (or better) life and her expectations were quickly destroyed by reality.
The third person (a female, I guess) is almost ridiculous. A useless degree ('Minority Women's Studies') and angry that no one is interested in her as an employee. How naive is that? Her sign mentions owing child support indicating that she was promiscuous and resents the consequences but blames the allegedly 'corrupt' legal system. The part of her little screed that mentions 'high speed internet' and 'new car payments' as a crushing financial burden demonstrates the 'entitlement mentality' writ large. A new car and high speed internet are great but no one needs these things. That this protestor believes she does while complaining about the cost is, well, pathetic, even annoying.
These young people are simply demonstrating their poor educations, entitlement mentality and total lack of connection to reality. They blame 'the system' for their financial woes instead of (a) looking realistically at their past choices (useless degrees, huge debt) and, (b) seeking ways to better their lives by hard work and some sacrifice, apparently a concept unknown to these folks. The leftists are using the poor economy to manipulate these narcissistic people into blaming 'greed' and 'the system' i.e. society.
In fact, they should be angry at the university racket that convinced them degrees in something as nebulous as 'Minority Women's Studies' was a viable path to financial security. Of course, that same higher education system brainwashed these people into believing that America is 'unfair', etc. so, like good little lemmings, they naturally turn their anger to 'Wall Street' because, they've been taught, this is the home of 'corporate greed'. Of course, these same people apply to such 'greedy' corporations for what they expect to be high-paying jobs, never considering that, if hired, they would be paid from the profits of the same corporations they revile. Their ignorance is staggering.
It's a great cover for Obama and the left, the real architect of the current economic malaise. I doubt many Americans will be in sympathy with these foolish people or blame the poor economy entirely on 'Wall Street'. I hope Americans are smarter and better than that. Then again, they elected Obama.
That is probably up to 20% now!
Semper Fi,sir!
Remember Ira Magaziner? Hillary's health-care genius? The guy behind the failure of Wang Computers? The guy that got Brown University...and subsequently all the others...to take student input on curriculum? His efforts are bearing fruit. Fruits, anyway.
so will you denounce these protests and protesters now?
Will you tell us what your last username was before you had to re-register?
Will you tell us why you were involved in the anti war group ANSWER?
actually, you’re part of the 18% of the population ... paying for everyone else
(140m tax filers...70m pay the taxes... for the 310m citizens + 20m illegals)
The last pic is either the dumbest person on earth or a lousy Freeper troll. No one can be that stupid. LOL.
OooooRah!
Nah, it’s still the same worthless ten percent. It’s just that the media focuses on them. You know. Turds of a feather stick together.
The rest of us really do outnumber them. They keep pushing and we will show them the error of their ways.
That can’t possibly be a sincere post, can it? Surely it’s parody....
Ooooooh, yes they can.

LOL.
Where’s the student loan bailout? These people have no shame. Leeches.
degree in minority women??/
WTF is that and no wonder they can’t get a job with that and was they forced to get that loan, was they forced to go to school?
NO course not and now they complain about having to pay back money which they signed and took.
SELF RESPONSIBILITY YOU FOOLS
where on earth are their parents for crying out loud.
My oldest son is 13, he cuts peoples grass to make money at weekends because he wants extra games for his PS3.
Why does a 13 year old kid know you have to work for what you want and yet these idiots have non clue and think now mother and father have stopped paying their bills then someone else should .

simple you taught your son if he wants something you have to work for it. My parents taught me the same
True
How anyone can complain they have to pay back loans they had signed for and that they made the decision to go to college astounds me .
