BS, the people being the 99% are the ones who voted for the Big Government which handed over the money to the deadbeats like Solyndra. Now they whine that they got what they voted for.

Back in 1989, the NZ government used my money to bail out BNZ [Bank of New Zealand] to the tune of hundreds of $millions. It seriously offended me. I ranted and raved. Same as the 99%ers now. But I didn't vote for Big Government.

The NZ government should have let the BNZ shareholders lose their money, and the creditors too, but the government implies a guarantee for official banks and voters have their money in the bank and would be annoyed to lose their money. Same as the whining 99%ers now would not like to lose their bank deposits [though maybe they don't have bank deposits, just debts] . More recently the NZ government gave an actual guarantee to favoured financial institutions which ended up costing taxpayers over $1 billion in the case of South Canterbury Finance.

Few of the 99%ers would vote Libertarian - so they get what they vote for. Big Government which does Big Government things, of course. Is there a huge following for Ron Paul? No!
