When our democracy is hijacked by Wall Street, the too-big-to-fail banks and the Koch brothers, then we are ALL in chains.

Never mind that the White House itself has chosen to double down on Vice President Joe Biden’s comment to a crowd in Virginia Tuesday that a President Mitt Romney would “put y’all back in chains.” Moore, Biden admirer and author of “Stupid White Men,” has deemed the backlash “made-up outrage,” picked up the tasteless metaphor and run with it.

When u finish college $100K in debt, YOU are in chains. When u are denied medical help, YOU are in chains. When u r evicted, YOU r in chains

When a political party wants control of your uterus, YOU are in chains. When u haven't been given a stellar education, YOU are in chains...

When the avg. net worth of white households in this country is $110,000 and for blacks, it is $4,995, those black citizens are in chains.

The transparent race baiting of Biden’s slavery metaphor was bad enough, but worse still is how casually the metaphor can be extended, apparently with a straight face. Student loans are the equivalent of chains? Who fit those chains, exactly?

@MMFlint - By the time I graduate I'll be close to $200k in student loan debt. That's if my loans don't get pulled first. #WeAreInChains

#WeAreInChains You might want to blame the person who promised to fix the economy if you can't find a decent job.

Sorry Mikey. Not our fault that you’ve been laughed at your whole life.
Must suck to look in the mirror everyday & see the sad sack that you are.
A complete mockery! I’d feel bad if you weren’t such a douche..
Obama writes those student loans so who is the slave and who is the Massa? Don’t leave the Plantation.

‘Second. Get off your backside and/or get your hubby off his and make a change. Don’t think anyone else is going to come along and fix your problems. Get another job, get a different job. Get yourself out of debt. Don’t even try to complain that there are no good jobs out there.’
HAD a cousin in the same fix....one who litteraly never knew which end of a hammer to hold onto. He borrowed some money a miniscule amount, made the downpayment on a ‘fixer upper’ then had his friends teach him the fundamentals of carpentry and plumbing carpet laying...a little at a time as need be...he rented it out..used the proceeds to buy another one then another and so on. As you might imagine he’s out of debt ..as you may not imagine he now owns 26 units. I’m wondering if this gal’s hubby can’t or won’t do the same. Not sure if there is any physical or mental handicaps there but absent that...time to get a move on, kids! Hope this helps.
>”Who put a gun to your head and made you sign up for those student loans?”<
Luca Brasi?
That's because the DemonRAT politicians YOU supported could care less about affordable college and decent jobs for American citizens. They spend all their time whining about passing the DREAM act so the "undocumented community" can attend college at cheaper rates than your husband, and then they can take his job thanks to affirmative action quotas.
Talk about liberal stupidity.
Don't even try to complain that there are no good jobs out there. That's your boy hussein's fault now. He and the MSM created the sense of gloom and doom and drove this Country into a recession. His policies have deepened and prolonged the recession.
The uncomfortable fact is that most of these deep-in-debt students should have went to state-run tech schools where they would have had a much better chance of getting a job and virtually no debt to pay off. Most college degrees aren't worth the paper they're printed on.
Take responsibility for your own actions.
There are all kinds of free and very inexpensive training programs all across this country. Apprenticeships, the military, community/junior colleges, trade schools, etc. Right now trucking companies will PAY YOU to become a truck driver. That’s right, not only is tuition free, you get paid in training!! The military, of course, is long famous for that. The oil and gas fields in North Dakota, Texas and other states are SCREAMING for truck drivers and other workers. Hard Work U (College of the Ozarks) just requires students to do work/study. Most companies have training programs and tuition reimbursement. Teachers and servicemembers can get their student loans forgiven.
Roger that. I’ll furnish the popcorn and some matches if y’all will provide the gasoline or gunpowder...
