Ted Rall for November 21, 2011

Perhaps OWS & the police are our modern day version of the lions and gladiators.

The coming revolution, all in six easy panels!

Sorry Ted…the OWS scum are mostly college “educated” dolts who are mad because they TOOK OUT STUDENT LOANS that they don’t want to have to pay back, and they are misdirecting their ire at the banks, rather than the ridiculously expensive UNIVERSITIES.

My life was pretty much like this in the 1990s, but now I have a creative job as a cartographer, and a large student loan. Our nation has about 15 more years of transformation to go through before we once again become prosperous, but we will emerge a greater nation.

When I went to college, tuition was reasonable and affordable. I finished college, got a job, and paid taxes to pay back for those “tax supported” universities. Now the folks have refused to pay taxes, the universities have raised tuitions horrendously, and the graduates come out in debt to the banks, and can’t get a job so the can NOT PAY taxes to support others getting the education, at reasonable rates, to get ahead and actually PAY taxes! When they pulled the plug on taxes to support society, society went down the drain.

The rich don’t have any real money. It’s printed fluff. We’re going through the last act of Reaganism.

I get™ just by putting “( )” around “TM.” I also get © by putting “( )” around the “C”, which I sometimes forget when I type a list as “(A); (B); ©…”

That brick in the last panel will come flying back and hit the guy. It will have a note attached, saying “Get Out!”!

Eryx: BTW, my “VA loan” years ago was a loan FROM A BANK, only “guaranteed” by VA, not a nickel of taxpayer money was loaned.
