look we are at the point in history that we dont need a government we dont need taxes yes some down there are misinformed just as you are most of us have been for most of our lives but you are a slave just as they are. ask yourself a few simple questions and see what your answer is. why should we pay to live and not in the seance of food because if you dont grow your own you should have to pay or trade but why should we pay for land do deer pay for land do birds? ware we are now there used to not be a road to san deago but before there was a government a man from san deago built a road to help attract new costumers and it was free to drive on if there was no government we would help each other because it is the only way to help ourselves. it is not that the system is not working it is working perfect just not in the interest of the people. why are police beating peaceful protesters how is that right why are people ending up in the hospital and jail for standing up for our rights what about the thousands who have had there homes illegally forclosed on just like me and dad. this is not about getting the millionaires to pay it is about getting the corporations and banks to stop controlling the government the tea party is just another party it is not democracy today we have the ability to have every issue voted on by the people through the internet we dont need representatives anymore. why should you have to pay taxes on the money you make when corporations are able to pay 0 taxes a year it is not fair to you. why dose the government pay enough money in two days of war that could be used to give fresh food and water to every third world country in the world. why is it that in the 80's the average CEO made 4x the amount as the average worker but today that is over 400x. you are not who the people are after you are a creator you did not make your money out of evil you did it out of love so this is not about you. why are there laws made that the people dont get to vote on.why is it that are taxes pay for people to be in jail for non violent crimes like smoking herb when a year in jail could pay for four years at a community college . if you really want to know the truth go to youtube and see what the police are doing and how the people are trying to be peaceful. there are lots of people in your position that support the occupy. this protest is not about money it is about changing the world for the better go to google images and see the signs that people are using and you will see the real meaning. i dont want to argue i just want you to think and see both sides and discover the truth for yourself dont take any ones word for it but yours and yes some protesting are misinformed but they are not the mass.
