Occupy Wall Street on September 17!

The orginizer must have too much free time in his hand, i would rather spending my time working for a living than trying to disrupt Wall Street or shut it down, not all the wall street firms and corporations are run by crook and thug, neither is the fact that not all the senators and congressmen are occupying congress. May be the movement is funded and founded by foreign money and terror connected individual that fixated on bringing down U.S economic life line, intended to shut down all the commercial activities and financial market in the nation. You can't be too surprise if some local movement and individual that are controlled by foreign government or terror groups are planning to further alienate U.S from the rest of the world's economy stage.

Personally since many people have been told their will be NO RETIREMENT or Social Security, Medicare, etc. when they retire many people have invested a lot of their time and money into Wall Street and into Stocks and bonds. The big problem becomes when many of these stocks continue to loose big money while the Big people in these companies continues to see Big bonus's while the average person suffers. Maybe they are feeling if they react in this way than somehow there eventually can be some sort of a change for the better?

So are locked up protestors in prison considered amoung the unemployed? If not thats about the only way this is going to help.

Sorry Dragon, I missed your Post and posted something similar to yours a few minutes ago...I did not mean to step on your claws... Here is my link to their website if you want to read the tweets: USDayofRage.org. Some of the tweets are kind of interesting. It lets you know that a lot of the folks involved are not Americans, but islamic. I have been watching the preparations for this event on PA websites for weeks and on ACORN websites for months. They did try to take over wall street and even gloated over closing wall street...this tells me that non-Americans were involved as we all know that Wall Street IS closed on Saturday. NYPD were waiting for them with water cannons according to the tweets. I have not found any news yet on American channels, but will continue to hope that the sensors will allow it through.

I think they are protesting in the right place. Wall street is where Washington gets all of their marching orders, our politicians do what their bosses tell them, and their real bosses are the ones that are making sure they have funding for the next election.

I caught this story two weeks ago on Red Eye. I definitely had a LMAO moment when hearing the story. Firstly, the entire concept was hilarious. They just want to protest. They didn't know what they were going to protest. They were holding polls - pick the cause we should rally for once there! Secondly, they're running sensitivity training courses for anyone who wants to protest!!!! Why Wall Street indeed. I think Van Jones said it best: "Give them the wealth!" That's what's at the heart of these types of protests. The wealth redistribution folks claim to be for the people. And they are. But their idea of returning "control to individuals" is simply to put free money in the hands of the same people who are at this very moment not coming up with new ideas and not opening businesses and not attempting to create wealth. But my hat's off to the folks if they can get out there and peacefully protest. I support peaceful gatherings no matter what they're about (to a limit). But I have a sneaking suspicion that there's gonna be some union-type slashing and bashing and trashing and maybe some young-punk-style fires being set.

Hiya dragon, Cannot really understand their reasons for wanting to try to shut it down when there are lots of things involved that has helped everyone to get to the situation they might be in. We have had loads of protestors here camping out I am not entirely sure what the were trying to do either. Some seemed to be in favour of something and some in favour of another. Actually the really worst off People cannot afford to go to those Meetings as they call them so it does make you wonder. So Wall Street as you see is not the only target we have had loads of them here but they have come to nothing but disruption and making a mess of the City Centres. Suppose some of them must be genuine but others not. How on earth do we tell which from which?xxx
