I was scrolling down this list of "Occupy" articles and happy to see how much momentum this protest is building even though I have only the vaguest of ideas on what it's about. http://topics.gannett.com/wall+street+protests?template=usatoday Sounds like "We're mad as hell and aren't gonna take it anymore". It's going Worldwide. I think it's a good thing but it seems nobody is sure what this 'thing' is. I know I'm not sure. My guess: Bottom line: It's an attack on Greed. It's becomming a growing worldwide movement of the masses who are fed up with being abused at the work place and as citizens in general who are increasingly experiencing their hard earned income being raided by goverment and big business. We have been asked to work longer hours, for less pay, for less benefits, all while watching our retirement and savings go to somebody else. Vague but very clear to see here in the U.S. Wall Street bent all the rules, turned a blind eye to huge amounts of questionable business practices knowing the bill was going to come due. The Banking and Real Estate industries knowingly inflated the values of our homes, ignored and wrongfully approved mortage loans to millions who did not qualify for such high payments, stuck them with those payments and made sick profits accross the board. Agents and middle men got rich quick flipping properties. It crashed and guess who foot the bill? The citizens. We watched as our goverment bailed them out. we watched as the values of our homes were cut in half or more. We are stuck with paying for this mess or the whole global economy will collapse with catastophic consequences. Oh...we're to blame too. Greed...the chance to improve the quality of our life...to rise up to a level we couldn't afford, had us applying for and signing those loans and buying those stocks and phoney get rich quick schemes. We over spent. We ran up credit cards, bought tons of "things", all while in denial that the Day of Reckoning would one day appear on our doorstep. Materialism...almost God for many in this country...is on the verge of destroying it.
