Beginning with a handful of people, The Occupy Wall Street demonstrations now can be measured in the thousands. When will "any" politician acknowledge this movement?
Begining with a demonstration in one city, now demonstrators are in the streets of numerous cities. When will the media explain this story in a way that everybody can understand. That this movement is an expression of the way Americans are feeling about being kicked to the side by the greed of the rich.
Begining with a small group of young people angry that no one on Wall St has been held accountable for the economic crisis they created. Angry that the rich whine about the small amount of taxes they have to pay. Angry that the lower-class and the middle-class have shouldered the brunt of this crisis in terms of lost jobs, homes, pensions, education, healthcare, and a future. This movement now has the support of unions, teachers, students, and ordinary citizens standing up for their rights.
When will you join them?
