They have taken our houses through an illegal foreclosure process, despite not having the original mortgage. They have taken bailouts from taxpayers with impunity, and continue to give Executives exorbitant bonuses. They have perpetuated inequality and discrimination in the workplace based on age, the color of one’s skin, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation. They have poisoned the food supply through negligence, and undermined the farming system through monopolization. They have profited off of the torture, confinement, and cruel treatment of countless animals, and actively hide these practices.

They have created jobs we don't want. They require pants in their buildings.

No wonder the average protester has no clue what they are protesting, besides some 99% thing. This is such a hodgepodge of liberal talking points that no one clear issues come out.

Foreclosure, bailouts, animal rights, discrimination, unions, pay, student debt, outsourcing, hiring lawyers, privacy, freedom of the press (huh!?), recall, oil, medicine, private prisoner executions (huh?).

Nothing stands out that people can agree or disagree on, unlike the Tea Party. Everyone is left scratching their heads.

From where, pray tell, do they think Barack Obama is getting his ONE BILLION DOLLAR Campaign fund?

I'm sure the OWS crowd is not talking about Affirmative Action polices at Colleges and Universities in the name of diversity. They are exempt, unlike some evil capitalist company that may or may not have a AA policy.

Look and listen to them. It is easy to see the problem. They are disheveled, clueless, working on or have one the many worthless liberal college degrees, foul-mouthed, spoiled, lazy, and their minds have been filled with socialist crap. They are reaching an age that they realize they are worthless to any employer.

Yeah. And with every Lib Commie activist and community organizer shepherding these children, it still took them 4 week to come up with this crap. What a joke.

It's worse than a shame that these evil takers fight and organize far more energetically and effectively than do the patriots of liberty.

These selfish OWS Yahoos are an embarrassment to their parents who have jeopardized their economic future to educate, feed and house them. The same institutions that have given them the standard of living they enjoy are the ones these well endowed students condemn. Their parents must know first hand how their offspring have wasted their efforts to improve their future and bitten the hand that feeds them.

Regarding #2 check out Forbes CEO Compensation for several of the recent years. Some of the compensation is mind boggling. As a GE stockholder who saw my shares drop in value from $50 to $5, and then creap back up to between $15 and $20, I was shocked to see that during and after the worst years the top 7 executives were paid from $11 million to $22 million, and never took a salary cut.
