I had that happen to me too.  The first place I saw that was hiring (about the same salary) was looking for people in school and did not want me.  They have every right to not want me.  Was I happy about it? of course not, but I still kept looking and found a job.  Of course it happens, but to let that keep you from continuing to look is ridicoulous. 

Life is far more like backgammon than it is chess.  Some people like to operate under an operational belief that somehow, they can make every single right decision and hit the jackpot.  Things happen.  People can be in the wrong place at the wrong time.  But, there is still the demand to keep on trying.  A rule of luck is, the more you try, the more chances you take, and the more likely you are to find something.  Of course, one can also benefit from improving one's odds.  On the job front, that is done by improving skills, improving references, and improving one's network of who they know.  Still, nothing is guaranteed, even if you do that.

Err... Russell Simmons...

Net worth of Russell Simmons?  Around half a billion dollars, and he is now part of the movement.  Do you want to go more into what Russell Simmons has done to help people and employ people?

*facepalm*

Another one.

This! I don't see why people find this distinction so hard to grasp. Granted, I could see why conservatives in the US (who are part of the REPUBLICan party) would have in interest in such intellectual dishonesty (their opponent is the DEMOCRAT party, and I assume this sillyness gives them the illusion that they're more 'legit').

Such a broad array of supporters from successful entrepreneurs ... One guy from the entertainment industry, who built his business through his close relationships with other entertainers and selling himself (and his friends) by appealing to those who feel disaffected

Oh wait, I'm sure this guy knows a lot about building a successful business:

And the ony time the United states is called a Republic is in the pledge of allegence.

Democracy is just a better buzz word because Republic makes people think of ancient rome.

Congressional Democrats?

Outside which, these people aren't protesting them.

They seem to be protesting EVERYONE who's rich.  They are planning marches to rich peoples homes.  They're just anti anyone being successful.

Really Obama's "Job Czar" and CEO of GE puts it best when he says "I want you to root for me, everbody in Germany roots for Sehmans, everybody in Japan roots for Toshiba, everybody in china roots for China South rail,  I want you to say Win GE."

They essentially want to create jobs by taking down US companies.

Which, me, I want to make money by NOT going to work, but that's not very feasable.

I mean, it'd bring the income disparity closer together, but only because we'd all be relativly much more poor.

He's right though...

The founding fathers for example SPECIFICALLY chose to have a Republic over a Democracy... and wrote actural reasoning for it.

For example, James Madison.

"There are particular moments in public affairs when the people, stimulated by some irregular passion, or some illicit advantage, or misled by the artful misrepresentations of interested men, may call for measures which they themselves will afterwards be most ready to lament and condemn. In these critical moments, how salutary will be the interference of some temperate and respectable body of citizens, in order to check the misguided career and to suspend the blow meditated by the people against themselves, until reason, justice and truth can regain their authority over the public mind."
