Thousands rally in New York's 'Occupy Wall Street' protest

The system simply isn't working.

That's the message from thousands of people around the world, furious at financial structures that have led to a global crisis.

The Occupy Wall Street movement began in the U.S., and spread to Asia and Europe - where things got violent.

The world marked October 15th as a coordinated day of action in solidarity with the New York-born movement.

The death of America started in 1981, when Ronald Reagan told Americans it was great to be a cut throat, rich and greedy! And the lame brain American people bought it, and now we're paying the price.

This country is headed for a Depression. Thanks Pres. Reagan.

@kkkrzysztov I started getting kicked around in school because someone thought I was Jewish, when I told them that I wasn't Jewish and that I was a catholic, he said: "Oh, that's ok then."

@kkkrzysztov Why? Because he's a workaholic as most people call them, they are driven to work, the stereotype is so big and is mostly true that this is why they are blamed, for being better than others, not necessarily everyone, it's just because of their motivation to DO. But just because the Jewish population is like this, you can't just blame it on Jews completely or only say it was Jews or something, you got catholics and atheists and muslims and so on and so forth.

@kkkrzysztov (sorry if i repeated same message twice) Do you think they were given what they have? Or earned? This is where the stereotype comes from. The Jewish population is known for being the bad guy because of their smarts, where it all comes from is the motivation, skill means nothing if you aren't motivated to do it, otherwise, what's the point of having the skill. I am in the 1%, my father is in the 1%, my father puts in 90+ hours a week for every week of every year of every decade.
