ok, so someone who has worked their butt off to achieve something in their life, and make big bucks, is now the bad guy ? maybe all those morons protesting should go home, go to school, work their butts off, so maybe someday they too can have something. something that they worked for and EARNED, not just given to them because they have been convinced that they are entitled.

It is the 1960's grandkids of the Hippies acting up and being Coached by the Peace Alliance and others of that time period...

9:53, at first I thought to just dismiss the Occupiers but the more I read the more this staunch conservative is agreeing with them.
I'll give an example that is close to home.
Take the poultry company giants. These companies do billions in sales per year. In the meantime the poultry growers are getting state subsitites to pay for manure sheds, and pads. Low level employees are being paid minimum wage which entitles them to food stamps, Medicaid and other welfare benefits. And where do you think this money is coming from? The taxpayers-- the 99%.
What the Occupiers are saying is that the middle class should not be burdened with their tax dollars going to subsidize billion dollar corporations. Tax dollars should be spent on roads, public safety, schools and corporations such as the billion dollar poultry giants should be paying for the growers manure sheds themselves!

The most corrupt wasteful mob like organization on the planet is the federal government and these idiot protesters want them to be in charge of their lives.

Are you one of the 1%? Or are you simply naively supporting the elite?
