think about the people who are in their 20s trying to live a normal life this day in age. its really almost impossible to start anymore. i'm 25 and all i want is a family, home and job where i can afford food and maybe a vacation once a year. I'm not jelous of ppl who have money its just I hate the way they think about the ppl who don't have money. I'm just getting really tired of struggling when I'm doing the best I can in this shitty economy. Something needs to be done but what?
Yep. This movement isnt against the 1% who have floated to the top, but rather those few that run it and continue the corrupt policies. I believe everyone has the right to get rich, and while the system now does let its few slip to the top, it does not promote new businesses or competition, which helps job growth and even job salary
I hear you! I find it interesting when I talk to people about the protests at the office where I work - several of them make fun of the protests and then with their next breath (literally) they would say they wish their son or daughter could find a job and move out of their basement. They do not see the connection. We have allowed corporations and special interests to drive our country and economy into a ditch and it is our children who are paying the price. We need some structural reform that puts the vote and power back into the hands of the everyday American citizen, instead of the corporations and their lap dogs that our supposed to be representing us.
