“The one thing we all have in common is that We Are The 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%,” said a statement on the website Occupy Wall Street.

According to statements on the website, the movement, an offshoot of online magazine AdBusters, is angered by what it calls the principle of “profit over and above all else,” which it says has dominated not only America’s economic policies, but also the way in which Americans view culture and humanity.

“History teaches us that when the rich get too rich and the poor get too poor there is always a revolution. Let’s hope this is the start of change!” wrote a reader with the username “Takebackourgovernment” on the movement’s website today.

Really braint - they don’t understand that killing the cow will deprive them of milk and meat, so they advocate killing the evil cow they’ve been mooching off all their useless lives.

They are all useful idiots who have no clue what the USA would really look like if their demands were implemented. They can’t think beyond what their Professors have told them to think. They regurgitated these ridiculous slogans on some term paper, got an ‘A’, and now it is gospel to them.

Greed is a driving force. It is no excuse to let actual mass law breaking go unpunished. And there was plenty of law breaking. You are not supposed to know about it though. So go back to sleep.
