Zuccotti Park has become home to protesters young and old. They are right to be frustrated, but finding a slogan will be difficult

  • @jessemaurais Well said. Wealth distribution fron the top to the bottom has to happen, be it through legislation or crash.

  • It's probably a mistake to boil down the grievance to "income inequality." We did see massive intervention on the part of the US government to rescue a financial sector, which now seems to be shirking off any responsibility for their part in the crisis, while at the same time refusing to take part in efforts to restore production levels to where we can re-employ the bulk of the labor force. Policy thus far has greatly favored one class over others. It's a matter of justice rather than equality.

  • Should i be upset that The Econimist has labeled OWS as leftist? Or, does OWS diserve being called that? I'm sure that many people at OWS are basicaly beggers, but I was under the impression that this was a movement by the people (left and right) to stop Wall Street and the United States government from working hand in hand with corrupting the systems of the USA? And that labeling the movement in any way is only ment to divide, and conquer the movement?

  • OK.... You stay there at Zuccotti Park and blame rich.

    That's better for job seekers:-)

  • #bankersunite. #occupyoccupywallstreet #wearethe1%

    go to the channel "bankersunite" 

  • outlaw "OTC" derivative sales and tax dividends!!!!! DUH

  • @DiNatalli I totally agree with you. The youth are spoiled and have a self sense of entailment to everything. I also love the part about degrees in worthlessness. That is how I feel about all the art majors at my university. Their skill is not a skill that is really needed in society. Also college is not for everyone. Some people should not go to college.

  • Then they want to complain about it & blame "capitalism". This is not the "middle class" these r just commies bums, fucking vermin. I spoke to some of these morons on my way home. All I herd was "we want free education, free healthcare, housing." WTF Instead of protesting the FED, money printing, government regulations. No one owes u anything in life. A lot of these punks have college degrees in worthlessness. Upset they r not making 80k a year. Should of learned a trade instead. Pot head vermin
