Occupy Wall Street's main gripe is the high cost of education/student loans. What the students should be complaining about is how inadequately prepared they were when they finished high school to be able to analyze what such debt would entail in order to pay it back, and being able to sign for such debt without any collateral or job guarantee at their age.

Paid $3.199 cents a gallon for gas yesterday. Also figured that if you deducted the $ .184 Federal tax per gallon, and the $ .075 GA tax per gallon and the 7% state & local sales taxes, the gas was "only" $2.75 per gallon. That also mean that $ .45 per gallon is taxes we pay which is an over 16% income tax going into government coffers straight from our pockets. The governments make more per gallon than the manufacturer and retailer combined!

This will be an oft inclusion of the Breakfast Club: Diane Schneider, a representative with the National Education Association (NEA), said that graphic sex education needs to be taught in the classroom. * "She said that 'gender identity expression' and sexual orientation are a spectrum, and...that those [who are] opposed to homosexuality are stuck -- quote -- 'in a binary box that religion and family create.' -- This should be sent to every teacher in every school district, and they should be asked to either endorse it, demand Ms Schneider be fired, or drop their NEA membership.
