Forum Post: You are not the 99%

The people occupying wall street are not the 99%, they are the 1% of lazy people who dont have anything better to do than to protest for something they dont understand. Instead if wasting weeks sleeping in tents they should rather try to find a job.

Protests are good, especially if they are for a good reason, but protesting against symptoms and not causes is just a waste of time. What do you concretely want to change to reach what you are protesting for??? If you ask this to 1000 people protesting, you get 1000 different answers. No wonder you are not taken serious

Oh boy, you are like first guy to ever say this! Hey OWS this guy thinks you're all lazy! Oh boy, guess it's time to pack up and leave, right?

Seriously, if they are lazy and don't like to struggle why are the camping on the street, sleeping on concrete, and withstanding frigid temperatures? Don't you think a lazy person would stay at home where it's warm?

You think sleeping on the street makes you not lazy? Have you heard the colloquialism for someone who sleeps on the street? Bum.

Nah, bums sleep in the trains of NYC and they generally are asking for food and not financial reform.

You understand that corruption in government itself is a symptom and not a source, right? Corruption is an affect and an action, not a cause. This is simply the address to the causes.

All 1000 of them.
