People are sheep. Most don't pay attention to politics, don't vote, and just go about their lives working at their jobs planning vacations and holidays and trying to be happy.

I think this part isn't working out anymore, and people are having a really hard time just working their jobs and paying their bills and trying to live a decent life.

Minimum wage is like $7.25 an hour. It's only a couple bucks more than it was when I was in high school 20 years ago! But try to rent a house in the city I grew up. I paid $700 a month in 97, that same place rents for $2,400 now! Unreal.

Not saying all jobs pay min wage, but a lot do when people are just basic not college educated simple people, those jobs are there. And people are saying that these 99% ers should go work those jobs. You really can't live on those wages, hell even $10 to $15 an hour with two people working trying to buy a car, house, maybe have a kid. And fuck them if someone gets sick and insurance doesn't cover it all. Really, people are having issues in wake of this housing bubble and the health insurance shit etc. THAT is why they are protesting. They didn't come up with this out of nowhere. People are fucking HURTING.

I don't think the anarchists and assholes out there are doing any good, of course. But really this government needs to take note and do something. What, I don't know. But the people are making a lot of noise! Power to the people as they say.

If the US government wants to keep the sheep in place, they're going to have to make life a little easier so these people will back down, go back to work, be able to make a living and BUY SHIT so the economy benefits. But no, the democrats and republicans would rather fight, and the politicians are mostly concerned with their war chests.

Bring it on. If anything let the politicians get a little scared. They should. The politicians and the cops need to be reminded who owns this country, because it isn't them.

At the same time, I bet a lot of these 99% ers probably aren't even registered voters. So hopefully, all of this nonsense will lead to some positive change. Such is the cycle of humanity.
