Cain to Wall Street protesters: ‘Blame yourself’ for joblessness

Bank of of America is going belly up and laying off thousands of workers guess it must be there fault the bank took risky investments.

e Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus. Luke 16:19
* 19“There was a rich man* who dressed in purple garments and fine linen and dined sumptuously each day. 20And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores,i 21who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man’s table. Dogs even used to come and lick his sores. 22When the poor man died, he was carried away by angels to the bosom of Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried, 23and from the netherworld,* where he was in torment, he raised his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. 24And he cried out, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me. Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering torment in these flames.’ 25Abraham replied, ‘My child, remember that you received what was good during your lifetime while Lazarus likewise received what was bad; but now he is comforted here, whereas you are tormented.j 26Moreover, between us and you a great chasm is established to prevent anyone from crossing who might wish to go from our side to yours or from your side to ours.’ 27He said, ‘Then I beg you, father, send him to my father’s house, 28for I have five brothers, so that he may warn them, lest they too come to this place of torment.’ 29But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’ 30* He said, ‘Oh no, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’ 31Then Abraham said, ‘If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone should rise from the dead.’

Herman Cain is a joke. The last time the GOP tried to prove that they where inclusive they hired Micheal Steele. We all know how badly that ended up. Most people can't tell you who the chairman of the Republican National Committee is, that's because they aren't running into constant problems and making the news like Steel was. Even steel said he was beleaguerer because of his race.

Herman Cain is just looking forward to counting the millions his is going to make after the race is over. Though he won't get the nomination he will be awarded millions in lucrative business deals from GOP financiers that are satisfied with his efforts to make the GOP seem like a more inclusive party.

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

WE THE PEOPLE, not the rich, not politicians, nor corporations, WE THE PEOPLE, regardless of ethnicity, religion, origin, social status, intellect, sexual orientation, age or physical abilities are the ones who have the power to control our destiny. Politicians have forgotten that fact. They need to be reminded that they are not in charge and if they choose to ignore the will of the people then get rid of them.

Take back your government, learn about those who you plan on voting for. Thomas Jefferson once said, "When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty."

For everyone who loves this country, for everyone whose heart is breaking for the growing ranks of the poor, for everyone who is seething at the unopposed demolition of America's working and middle class: the time has come to get off the fence.

Cain's own words about the Federal Reserve:

"Some people say we ought to audit the Federal Reserve. Here's what I do know. The Federal Reserve already has so many internal audits it's ridiculous. I don't know why people think we're going to learn this great amount of information by auditing the Federal Reserve.... Here's the advice I've given to people who are worried about an audit of the Federal Reserve. Call them up and ask them! You can stop by and have one of their P.R. people or one of their public relations people explain to you how the Federal Reserve operates. I think a lot of people are calling for this audit of the Federal Reserve because they don't know enough about it. There's no hidden secrets going on in the Federal Reserve."

The US system is not capitalism - it's crony capitalism - hijacked by the Banksters 50 years ago. $10 trillion dollars - 2 times the existing debt - $100,000 for every man, woman, and child in the US - put into the system since Bush took office. Where did it all go? That's not capitalism - that's greatest scam in history!!

I worked for Godfather's Pizza for 2 years in high school. Started when the location opened and was there until I moved on to a better job. Funny thing is, the place started out like gangbusters and then very quickly started cutting the hours of every employee because it turned out that the product we were selling just plain sucked, and business was lousy because of it. Instead of the 10-15 full and three-quarter time positions the store opened with, it ended up with about 6 employees who were pulling double duty working as pizza jockeys and gas station clerks to get 30 hours a week. Now, an unspecified number of years later, every single location I'm aware of is nothing more than a gas station side business with a handful of part time employees.

Nice to know that Mr. Cain is the type of person who is willing to admit that his mistakes are his, and that the reason for his company not holding a bigger market share isn't the fault of say, Pizza Hut or Papa John's or anything.

The real issue is, when people don't clean up after their dogs and then laugh at the passerby when they step in it. Washington (owned by Wall street) is laughing at us all as we try to get their crap off of ourselves.

most of the comments i have read so far have been about cain's comments...well, what about romney who is "just trying" to get himself "to occupy the white house"--you mean, he is not trying to fix the economy? he is not trying to lower the joblessness rate? what a thoroughly egotistical and selfish power hungry remark...do you think he meant it or was it just a slip of the unconscious?

Is that how you talk to your customers? You better be for monopolism. You would have no chance for success if we actually had a free market economy.

Mr. Cain: Do you realize what happens as soon as you finish taking all the disposable income from the working class? They can't afford to by any more pizzas. So much for your supposed business sense.

What a stupid, stupid man. Is he out of touch or what?

Where is the compassion in this country?

Not everyone is looking for a handout...Some are just hardworking people that are trying to make ends meet.

BTW I am not republican or democrat. To be honest, both parties are for the most part corrupt.

Of course the banks had something to do with the downturn, of course the Bush administration bailed them out, but why would you protest them? said Cain.

The Big Corporations and Big Banks got Trillions of our dollars to...make JOBS!! WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR MONEY?!!!

LMAO ... boy that will when the hearts of the voting population ..

Can you say SHMUCK?!

I lost my job because the company I worked for closed it's doors and sold it's customers off. Selling them before they even told them I might add. How is that my fault? My company was more concerned in paying out bonuses to exec's that they failed to pay suppliers, vendors and carriers. One time the company purposely failed to put money into payroll and the exec responsible for that couldn't understand why the entire company was pitching a fit outside his office because he couldn't understand why people were upset they didn't get paid. This guy actually thought it was alright not to pay his employees and that they wouldn't mind. That's the mindset they're fighting in these occupy protests. If the GOP can't see and understand that then we are in big trouble. These are the guys the GOP is protecting. We couldn't even get carriers to pick up customer orders on their carrier accounts because of our unwillingness to pay them for our own past due. Because someone insisted on paying out bonuses, the company couldn't stay open and closed about 6 months after paying out the last bonuses. I'm not a Democrat or a liberal, I'm an American. An American who's tired of GOP'ers putting the blame on the little guy while their buddies take bonuses that cause businesses to not be able to pay their bills. An American who doesn't drink the kool-aid anyone is selling because I look to the right solution instead of the party one. I'm self employed now, I refuse to work for another Corporate mindset that will run a company into ruin just to pay out a bonus. I'm working to become the next paradigm in business by creating an organization that treats it's employees fairly, it's customers with respect and doesn't pay out bonuses to execs. If working in a low stress, high pay environment isn't good enough then I don't need you.

Herman Cain supported TARP, bailing out the banks with taxpayer dollars. He was Chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve, and has stated that he doesn't think there's a need to audit the Fed, because "there are no secrets." He suggested that people who have questions about the private bank's manipulation of fiat currency, using inflation as a way to channel the wealth of the poor and middle class to the banks, the corporate elite and their political cronies should just "call them up and let one of their PR people" explain things to them. I'm all for personal responsibility, capitalism (not crony capitalism) and small government, but Mr. Cain was not only "insensitive" (there's a word he should be familiar with) he was WRONG. Our central bank is the root of our problems.

End the Fed. Ron Paul 2012.

Remember BUSH & Co. bailed out the Captins of the 'Free Market' who were about to go belly up and came crying for assistance with TAXPAYERS money.

If that is not the pinnacle of HYPOCRISY, I dont know what is
