You love blatant propaganda? It helps balance out the blantant propaganda from the other side. Then I make up my mind after hearing both. That is our system here. Many countries just have the one sided blantant propaganda. We have both. 
to do that you have to constantly switch channels to hear both cheerleaders opinions. why not ONE channel that truly IS fair and balanced?

Like I said. I am right smack dab in the middle of the so called 99%'ers.
Yet, I just re-financed my home at a lower rate and I didn't even seek a re-finance. My bank asked me if I wanted to.
I am retired and do not make a lot of money. Yet, I have all the credit I want (it seems, according to the credit card balances available to me).
I think it comes from half a lifetime of paying my bills on time, on a military paycheck and a cops paycheck. I have never had big money. Granted, I never chased it. I always thought that if I did for a living what I enjoyed. I never had to work a day in my life.
I hate working. Some enjoy working, and they reap the benefits of it. I applaud them and hold no envy of what they have.
Except for their Action #1, Tec #27 and/or Red Raven #1, (and a hundred other great books). 
My outlook on life is that we all get what we deserve in the way of finances. But there are bumps along the way for many. You just have to grab your boots by the straps and pull hard. You will finallly get them on, if you pull hard.
For sure, some are born into money, and some just fall into money. But for most of us, It's like playing in poker tournaments. Some get lucky here and there. Some take bad beats here and there. Most finish somewhere in the middle, according to their individual skills, But to win consistently, you have to work it well. I personally do "okay". But nothing to brag about. I hold no envy or bad feelings against the game winners. Most deserve it. Some, eh.
Thems the breaks.
To everyone who has had tough times. Find your passion and go for it. Refuse to accept defeat. Be it the comic book trade, lawyering, teaching, or cooking.
If you do what you enjoy for a living, you will never work a day in your life. I enjoyed what I did for a living and I feel like a winner. Although many have more money and "stuff".
Thems the breaks. No one promised you a rose garden when you were born (except maybe mommy, and she don't count)

Which might that be, pray tell?

There are MANY cheerleaders. Telemundo, Fox, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, Al Jazeera, and whatever else I can't think of right now.
I listen to them all (except Al Jazeera), but I mainly switch back and forth between CNN and FOX. Both lean to one side. Hence my previous statement.
Fox has the best (and smartest) chicks. Telemundo cmoes in second on the hotness meter. Just in case you are looking for that cheerleading aspect.
