Occupy Wall Street 

The bottom 99% of people on the income bracket rightfully protesting the top 1% getting more money than they deserve.

The richest people in the world (e.g. bankers, CEOs, media moguls, so called "job creators") don't actually work. They have other people work for them. They rake in millions of dollars while the people doing the actual work have to deal with lower pay and higher taxes.

And then the rich folks spend their unearned money on politicians, essentially controlling congress (both Republicans and Democrats). As a result, congress is happy to bail out these people when their businesses start losing money with cash out of the taxpayer's pocket. Not to mention the tax cuts doled out to these billionaires (started by Bush, extended by Obama). That is exactly what OWS is protesting.

Occupy Wall Street is one of the few glimmers of hope as the USA descends further into debt.

Let's have a show of hands. Thumbs up if you support the movement.

occupy ball street 

1. Getting laid in the era of the occupy movement where virtually everything is getting occupied including genitals.
2. Having sexual intercourse with a girl for a longer than average period of time.
3. A girl stubbornly follows her objective to make love to you this night... and succeeds.

1. Girls, after having my fith Mojito I am proudly announcing you that I will occupy ball street of the first handsome guy that runs into me tonight.
2. Bro, she occupied my ball street all night long. Felt like she was camping on my balls. Thanks to her I can hardly walk now.
3. I am feeling kinda used. There was this girl at the party and she totally occupied my ball street. She totally held the reins.

Occupy Wallstreet (OWS) 

Occupy Wall Street (OWS) is an ongoing series of demonstrations initiated by the Canadian activist group Adbusters which began September 17, 2011 in Zuccotti Park, located in New York City's Wall Street financial district. The protests are against social and economic inequality, high unemployment, greed, as well as corruption, and the undue influence of corporations—particularly that of the financial services sector—on government. The protesters' slogan We are the 99% refers to the growing difference in wealth in the U.S. between the wealthiest 1% and the rest of the population.

According to a survey of Zuccotti Park protesters by the Baruch College School of Public Affairs published on October 19, of 1,619 web respondents, 1/3 were older than 35, half were employed full-time, 13% were unemployed and 13% earned over $75,000.

This was taken from wikipedia. All sources are cited there. I posted this to spread knowledge, not my opinion.

Uninformed person: "All the protesters at Occupy Wallstreet (OWS) are hippies who don't want to work and want government hand- outs!"

Informed person: "How do you know that?"

Uninformed person: "B-b-b-because... FOX News said so, and, and, and... look at them! They look like.. like.. HIPPIES."

Informed person: "Actually, according to a recent Baruch survey of those in Zucotti park, 50% of the protesters have full- time jobs. They go to work and come back to the park after to show solidarity."

Uninformed person: "Well, FOX news and the "53%" blog confirms my belief, so that's all I am going to listen to."

Occupy Wall Street 

A group of concerned citizens who rightfully speak out against the extreme degree of inequality in America which now rivals that of some third world countries. Citizens who realize that you cannot have a strong economy without demand, and that 1% of the population owning 90% of the wealth is detrimental to a nation's prosperity. Citizens who oppose the assault on workers rights by multinational corporations, and realize that trickle down is bullshit. Citizens so concerned for the welfare of their country, they are willing to camp outside even in the harshest winter conditions to get the word out. Often bashed by people who fall in the top 1% (obviously) as well as spoiled, snobby, narcissistic rich kids who regard Atlas Shrugged as the bible and have never experienced any real-life hardships whatsoever because they live in the safety bubble of their parents.

Occupy Wall Street believes we should end the unsustainable Bush tax cuts, make RESPONSIBLE cuts in government spending rather than taking from those who have the least, and end the marriage of government and big business that started under the Bush administration and continues under Obama.

Occupy Wall Street 

The 99% of the US. population who are struggling to make a living while the 1% live a life of luxury. We're not going to be the silent majority anymore.

The people gathered across the country in support of Occupy Wall Street, each large city had a camp in (occupy) and change was imminent. Occupy Fresno, CA. was a big inspiration for this Old Hippy Dude.

Occupy Wall Street 

the biggest joke of a movement America has seen in a long time. made in response to the Great Recession. fueled by the thought that the Great Recession is a big enough excuse not to try to make a living and banks (no pun intended) on the idea that complaining is a great substitute for action. ignores the fact that "life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it." a complete kick in the face for those who have worked for everything they have owned. destroys the businesses, cars, public safety, and even lives. a complete disgrace. i grew up out of a liberal family, and I'm not that conservative, but these people make me sick.

Jack, one of the 99%: "Uggh, this economy won't let me get a job! Waaaa! Screw those fat cats upstairs! OCCUPY WALL STREET! Come on, gang, torch that family-owned general store! Stupid capitalists! Capitalism is evil!"

General Store Owners: "I could cry right now. I've worked way too hard and have stretched by budget way too much to have my successful general store go to shambles like this. Sure, this economy has driven down the profit of my store, but I still get by, and my family has loved me for it. How the FUCK am I one of those fat cats, you bastards?!?"

Justin, one of the 99%: "JP Morgan Chase's headquarters! Torch it!"

Jack, one of the 99%: "No, they've got security. And guns. And that building is way too big. One ear of corn at a time, Justin. Lets not work too hard now."

Mother of a dead child to Jack: "You guys killed my son! He was 10 years old!"

Jack, one of the 99%: "Lets put it this way, mam, at least he can't grow up to be an evil fat cat."

Occupy Wall Street 

A group of activists believing that by yelling loudly enough some slogans they don't fully understand about some economic concepts they don't even begin to comprehend, they can change an economic situation they don't really like into a better one that they haven't quite defined yet.

"Fuck you, damn corporations! Save the environment! Save the poor! Save the whales! Stop AIDS! Screw all you evil banker people! Occupy Wall Street!"
