I'm dumbfounded at the naked hostility here toward the protesters. These are not the people who destroyed our economy. The people who did that are in those big buildings that the protestors are shouting at.
This is the problem. Putting all of the blame on them is laughable.
It goes to show where we are as Americans:
we have all we need and are still poor;
we have all the wealth of information we can want and are ignorant;
we have all the freedom we could ever handle and yet we shackle ourselves daily.
You know what is killing this country? Consumer greed supporting Corporate greed.
Take a look at yourself and how you live; and in that way you can change the scheme. The American voting consumer is the most power individual in the world.
I laugh when I see people whining about how their wage is plummeting, their downtown is empty, their son can't find a job, and their daughter can't afford an education - when meanwhile, they waste money that could pay for their daughter's education (after convincing her that sitting in an office chair all day for a job is ok and that hard work isn't needed, just a piece of paper from a college); they shop at Wal-Mart, destroying their downtown and the job base, and then they turn and say 'IT'S THEIR FAULT!" Arrogant, conceited Americans.
The TRUE "Occupy Wall-Street" protester would be in his room, changing his ways and his children's ways, and saving his money and spending it locally. That's how your protest a Corporation.
Let me correct myself, personally. I am not hostile toward one political agenda. I am hostile toward ignorance and intentional blindness. I am also hostile towards greed - which transcends any demographic and political boundaries.
