“We Should Listen to the 99%”
Yeah, they really should because 98% of us detest these freaks.
Sorry pal, the “I got mine, screw you” crap isn’t going to fly anymore. Not after the taxpayers just got finished bailing out the banks AND their investors, who would have been wiped out otherwise. I, for one, have no problem asking for some of that money back.
“mainly educated, middle class and sincere”...
The writer of this article is not is not thinking logically - The level of a person’s sincerity has nothing to do with the rightness or wrongness of their belief/cause. I am sure that Hitler himself was sincere.
My daughter who attends Pace University in lower Manhattan had her class canceled this morning and so walked over to the actual Zucotti Park area for the first time. Although she is in the area just a few blocks away, she has been too busy attending class, working her part time job and studying to actually go there. She said it was truly disgusting and was expecting to see rats. So the reports of the squalid conditions are not exaggerated based upon first hand observation. I don’t see how this fits in with educated, middle class, etc...
She also reported that the police presence on horseback near her school, although welcome in terms of keeping the area safe, is a major nuisance for people trying to get to classes or get to work. She especially noted the smell of horse manure wafting through the air. Again - she is happy to be safe but is looking to the root cause - the Occupiers.
It seems the 99%ers are truly hypocrites if they act like they are for more jobs but are in truth obstructing working people and students.
She also wondered who was paying for all of these police, horses and helicopters. I told her the taxpayers of NYC are footing the bill and when they get sick of it things will stop. They will get sick of footing this bill eventually!!

Sorry pal, the banks have already repaid TARP. You want to demonize someone, try Freddie & Fannie, who have paid nothing back, are asking for billions more and are set to hand out millions in bounuses.
Very well stated cogent points. Thanks so much. I agree 100%.
