They want to move the "everybody gets a trophy" mentality from childhood to adulthood.

What I was taught and what those people were protesting are 2 mutually exclusive ideas. I was taught accountability, work hard, you may not win but you always give your best, life isn't fair but you never stop trying to achieve your goals. Meanwhile their ideas are: I'm owed because I did x,y,&z, the system isn't fair, I want to grow up to go to school, I want to get paid to go to school, people that have had success have lied cheated and stolen money and they OWE me.

Which side of the isle are you on?

Wall Street isn't perfect, but Capitalism and the United States way of life allows for upward mobility like no other place on Earth. It rewards the hard workers, the innovators, the people with big ideas......what did Occupy Wall Street offer? It offered scabies, rape, drug overdoses, and gave you the chance to be a victim....is THAT what we want out of the next generation? Victims
Here are some of those scruffy Occupy Wall Street hippies:




And this is why they're demonstrating. Pilots on food stamps:



But hey, so long as a big chunk of the country can be persuaded that it's a few scruffy trusafarians instead of an increasingly large part of the population then that's great. For as long as that's possiblr it means people like me can take an ever-increasing percentage of the ever-decreasing earnings of people like you. So as long as you continue to support us we'll appreciate you. Thanks!

Now from having argued with you on here I know that there are some people you really can fool all of the time. But eventually enough of your compatriots are going to go from supporting the status quo to supporting movements that descend from Occupy. And when they reach critical mass we'll call them terrorists and use all those repressive laws you supported after 9/11 to repress any kind of Occupy movement and preserve the status quo.
