Occupy Wallstreet and hold the Greece

I have to say that I wish I had the courage to join forces with the people that are protesting all around the country.  I think that it has brought the light to the fact that there is a terrible inequality among the lowly 99% of our population.  I have often said that it is very unfair that my father was able to manage a middle class family on one salary, while most of us have to have two incomes to live at the same level of comfort.  I also get annoyed with the folks that want to put the protesters down by calling them unemployed and slacker hippies. Lets face it - there are plenty of good hard-working people that have lost their jobs in the last couple of years.  They are angry because they have tried to find another job and they can't get a break.  I admire their tenacity.  I realize that some of the protesters haven't behaved well and probably need to be arrested.  The overall majority of people have been peaceful and have lived in very difficult conditions to make their point.  Also- when the police overreact and that is shown on the news- how does that make our country look in comparison to Egypt or Libya? 

I find it distressing that one country, namely Greece, could hold our financial testicles in their greedy little apathetic hands.  They have been on the edge of bankruptcy for several years and their leaders haven't really reacted quick enough.  They keep borrowing and not paying back their debts. Does that sound familiar? The difference is that their upper class isn't only 1%- their middle class has lived a pretty cushy lifestyle. Isn't it ironic that the ancient Greeks were among some worlds most  intelligent philosophers and today their government  is about to bring down the world's economy. 

Normal people are tired of taking the fall for all the rich assholes in the world.  The people that pay the highest tax percentages are not the rich. The banks get bailed out and then in one short year show record profits.  Do they pass that on by investing in more small businesses or hiring more employees? No- Bank(Skank) of America, is about the let go a record number of employees.  Our economy is coming back very slowly due to the banks failure to invest in new business.

The last thing I need to rant on about is - why do the same people that comment on the protesters and the liberal media continue to vote with the 1%?  Don't they get it?  They are getting screwed and they still enter the shower and continue to bend over and take it in the ass! I just don't get it.  Can anyone explain this to me?
