I thought this was really interesting considering all that's happening in the world with economy and how some have it so bad. MJ certainly doesn't.

Have to get to the end to get the punchline... Nerds win indeed.

If only I could be as big of a baller as Jordan...

Thats way to much for gas.

Thats just the way things go sometimes

good thing chevy has the volt now.

This would for sure help our debt if they did end up legalizing it and taxing it!

I am actually surprised that the govt hasn't legalized it yet because the govt loves money and marijuana sales makes on average 1.5 billion dollars a year so in about 10 years (maybe) the USA could actually not be in debt.

i dont see why marijuana is not legal anymore its actually funny how our first president grew marijuana as a cash crop

people these days.

I think we are better of some ways then our parents were. However, things nowadays are far more complicated then they were back then. I know that now men are earning less then women are compared to what their parents were..but I think this is simply because men had started out with higher wages, I mean women weren't allowed to work for quite some time, and then when we were finally given a chance to work, our wages were pitiful...we've come a long way.

this is one of the reasons we are in the hole big time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is ridiculous

wow!

What is the illustrator trying to convey? What do the images represent?

I think it means how the occupy wall street movement is bringing attention to the middle classes economic struggles, and the media doesn't want that to happen.

I believe the cartoon is portraying that there is a connection between the Middle class and the wall street movement, and wall street is trying to revive the middle class. The media however, is not thrilled about the attention being brought to the middle class problems. So the media poisons the the other one percent into believing the lies and misleading comments to try getting their way.

no, this is wrong. the government should not be spending so much time tracking us. its fascist. The more we give our liberties away to the government, the more they are going to try and take. with how much peoples personal lives are wrapped up in electronics, it is imperative that we retain our rights. its just a invasion of privacy. either way, with the economy issue i think the last thing we should be wasting money on is recording where the johnson family went for vacation.

This is unethical. I don't want a "1984" by George Orwell to happen

Interesting article, the pressure from website blackouts seemed to have sent a message to many representatives in Congress. Wait and see what the votes look like next week.

From Jessica Yellin, CNN Chief White House Correspondent updated 4:31 AM EST, Tue January 24, 2012 Washington (CNN) -- In his last State of the Union speech before the 2012 election, President Barack Obama will pitch a series of proposals and will address the topics of economic inequality and how a government should ensure "a fair shake for all."

It's sad that even their pay was cut to try to reduce the debt and it has caused the country to sink even deeper.

that would suck to get a pay cut, and the country sinks deeper is even worse.

This makes me think of the many ways of Civil Disobedience

President Obama will ask the Labor Department on Thursday to issue tougher rules on overtime, which could lead to extra pay for millions of workers who aren't currently paid for extra hours of work.

I like that he is going to attempt at raising overtime pay and issuing tougher enforcement for them. Most people who work overtime because they probably need to get the extra money. The only downside to this raise I currently see just from what the article stated is how there will be a possibility of the companies and businesses possibly laying off workers to keep up with their own income.

Good job, Obama!

The referendum, which is called the "1:12 initiative" and began after supporters gathered 100,000 signatures to put it on the ballot, is the kind of elegant solution to income inequality that we in the United States should consider more seriously.

US President Barack Obama Only days after clearing Congress, US President Barack Obama signed his name to H.R. 347 on Thursday, officially making it a federal offense to cause a disturbance at certain political events - essentially criminalizing protest in the States. RT broke the news last month that H.R.
