The more I see the “ugly visuals” of these Occupy Wall Street protestors, the more contempt I develop for them. I mean they are asking the govt. for minimum wages, free school education, universal healthcare and job guarantees. Now wages, quality schooling and jobs don’t grow on trees, someone needs to work hard and invest for creating these things.
These protestors even want trade barriers in their country. Welcome to “Swadeshi America.” Perhaps they will ditch their designer jeans and go for hand-woven khadi attire.
Moreover, these protestors at Wall Street are not really poor. They are “obscenely rich” by Indian standards. I am f******* jealous of the designer dresses they wear, the gadgets that they flaunt. They are showing off their costly watches, smartphones and notebooks and they think that they are poor. They are even smoking designer drugs. Idiots are sipping mineral water and coke. Eating burgers by the dozen.
Fools! They should come to India and see for themselves what poverty is really like. They have NO IDEA how degrading, how dehumanizing "real" poverty can be. You got to experience it personally in order to understand that.
In India we have been enjoying minimum wages, free school education, universal healthcare and job guarantees from our “compassionate government” since independence. That is precisely the reason why this country is so poor. Tens of thousands of people die every year due to starvation, poor healthcare, road accidents and the like. At every street corner in cities, you can find beggars who have nothing to eat, nowhere to live and no future at all.
But I don’t expect the retarded protestors who are singing, dancing and playing video games during the so-called Occupy Wall Street protests to have any basic economic sense. These guys have never worked hard any day of their live. They have never experienced real poverty. Real poverty is when you have nothing to eat, nowhere to sleep. What do they know of life!
I hope these guys get what they want. Let the USA govt. pass all kinds of stupid laws. The economy will then collapse and these retards will have the chance to experience real poverty.
Poverty, they say, is good for building character. Character – that is what is in short supply in this shoddy gathering at Occupy Wall Street. Let these guys starve for a few days, and they will be able to get hold of some character. We Indians have already built lot of character, all thanks to the mind-numbing amount of poverty that we have experienced due to the policies of our various compassionate governments.

Great article! I had similar thoughts but difficulty in articulating it so well!
brilliant and incisive.
What exactly is your argument? There are plenty of countries with minimum wages, free school education, universal healthcare and job guarantees that are doing superbly well...You seem to be bitter because a. the poverty is so overwhelming in your country and b. there's a dearth of political demonstration, or at least you're unhappy with it in the US. I fail to see the incisiveness of your argument.
