You deserve the sad, lonely and guilty life you live

[Kumori Kozen]

No, it's us wanting to END free handouts to the old boys in charge of the federal reserve and bailouts...

ya the good reason being that they use their wealth to buy politicians to stamp out competition and get unfair advantages making it "rigged capitalism" that's the good reason. 400 people own more then the bottom 40% that isn't a system that can work long term. If you don't get that then your an idiot.

no it's about corruption, anyone trying to rebrand it must be afraid. otherwise they wouldn't need to. It's understandable when you have 3k worth of people doing marches near gated communities that have bank ceos.  Free handouts isn't in their message and anyone who wants to know that only has to use the internet and go to their website?

I hope that police officer likes being sued personally for what he just did.

The slaves do not ask stupid questions of their overlords, some people still don’t understand this ?

not anymore. if you look at current videos you can see that there are people of all ages at these rallies. you should google "goldman sachs", read accounts of their former employees, and see how they treat their clients. then google "the wallstreet bailout" and explain to me how those people got rich because of hard work. these protests are against the corrupt financial institutions who own our government, not free handouts. you should read into things instead of just making assumptions.

[Jackson Parker]

It is basically about wanting free handouts.

Notice how most of the protesters are young hipsters?

[zepps88]

for most rich people that is true, but that's not the reason people are protesting. this isn't about jealousy and people wanting free handouts. if you did 5 minutes of research into the issue you would find out that the richest one percent has completely rigged the capitalist system in America because they are allowed to purchase politicians to make laws that cheat the free market. they don't have to worry about failing because their bought government will bail them out with our tax money
