Where owned by the banks, oil companies, Tobacco, energy, pharma, media, defense, auto, etc. and still nobody was put in jail for the financial mess...so why shouldn't the average Joe be mad.
We do have a lot of low level jobs in this country but people would rather stay on unemployment for 99 weeks then work at a Supermarket for $8 an hour (maybe in a couple years you'll make $15), or waiting for a job in their expertise that no longer exists. A lot of the failure is their own doing in this country and they think they are owed something just because they paid taxes. Now they want a student loan bailout... Not siding with the banks here, but those people protesting don't represent me. In fact they are starting to remind me of those rich democrat marches that helped get Obama elected.
Whats crazy is OWS could have never developed 20 years ago. Now with the internet and cable TV broadcasting it's possible to get the word out.
I grew up in the 70's-80's and you just had your local TV and Radio news and we survived just fine. It seems the news tries to install fear in us now, when in reality you just need to know traffic and weather to start your day. For example the media pushes all this terror bullshit fear so we don't blink while they are spending our social security money on defense. They will keep the boogy man around for a long long time.
