Patriots and TakeTheirNots
Submitted by Mystic on 26. October 2011 - 13:00
Dear Thom,
When you were talking today about the Occupy protester being Patriots, I thought we should have a name for those who have been robbing us blind and who we are protesting, and then it came to me. They take what is not theirs and thus are TakeTheirNots.
So, we have the classic battle between the Patriots and the TakeTheirNots.
What do you think, will the name stick?
Feel free to use or enhance if you come up with a better version.

Well I had hoped that the President would have given some relief to the outrageous school loan amounts. Not really the case at all. Because the people that really need, it will not see it at all.
