The vague and broad complaints of these protestors takes attention away from the real concerns of the people who are looking for work every single day and can't find any. The people calling to have their student loans forgiven, their mortgages forgiven, their credit card debt forgiven. Get a job. If you are actually trying to get a job and can't then that AND ONLY THAT is worthy of complaint.

Im sure only a small portion of these protesters actually understand why they are out there,most are probably just looters tryin to exploit the situation and cause havoc,or just people lookin for their 15 minutes of fame,it is new york after all. Its a sad day in our country when people get beaten and arrested for wagging their fingers at the crooked bastards in charge.

Oh thats right, we've been being led this path with all the other countries doing it. The american dream is not dead just the american work ethic.
Do you not realize that one of the main points of this protest is about corporations TAKING JOBS FROM AMERICANS AND SENDING THEM OVERSEAS?
THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF THE DRIBBLE YOU ARE SPEWING! Do you honestly not realize that? Do a little research before you "stereotype".
You got me laaaaaaaaaughin'. So, this is about PEOPLE dictating what other business owners decide to do with their own business? Are you telling me, that corporations don't have the right to take their businesses elsewhere....for the sake of THEIR business? Apparently, YOU don't have a business....nor do you know what it takes to run one.
Newsflash: business owners have to do what's best for their business....NOT YOURS! It's nothing personal...it's just business! The real problem is this: people have been FOOLISH with their lives, and now....it's biting them in the ass!!! Perhaps people should stop blaming OTHERS for their woe's. Corporations don't have to stay in a place, that is SUCKING THEM DRY. Face it.....the rest of the people in this world...work for pennies on the dollar, and put in 16 hour days...while Americans sit on their FAT LAZY ASSES and do nothing...while making tons of money.
Sounds to me...like the scales are being balanced. The reason why these corporations have left...is because Americans are way too expensive and demanding to keep. They actually sue their employer because they got 29 minutes for lunch...and not a full 30....like the law says. They use ANY excuse to make a quick buck. Now, you tell me....who's right and who's wrong?!
I am not arguing at all, I am commenting on a thread. I have been reading through it since it began. I see many here complaining that fail to see the big picture, just trying to point out a few reasons for the complaints being made. I thought that's what the forum was about.

The reason the jobs are going overseas is because the FED devalues the dollar, the government legislates ridiculous regulation, and taxes are unfair due to a corrupt system and waste of the corrupt system. TPTB stack the deck to favor some...and own them....WallStreet is not the enemy
You are wrong on literally everything you wrote. You do not have any idea of the dynamics of international trade and you apparently forgot that there are supposed to be tariffs on imported goods. That is one problem- these companies want to move production overseas to boost their profits, but then they want to be recognized as American companies and pay no tariffs. Also, you are wrong about people in other countries working for pennies 16 hours a day. That is total bunk. The only people doing that are the slaves being "employed" by American, South American and Chinese companies located in China and South America. (and malaysia, thailand, etc)

"Vague and broad complaints?" I might point out that you are making a BROAD claim by assuming that all of these protestors are looking for a free ride! Where are you getting the idea that these protestors do not include those who are unemployed and can't find a job?

Being 23 and selfmade, I know and have seen the american work ethic diminish into nothing. Take a peek at these "protestors." They are my age and literally are against the system. They are not asking what they can do for their government but are just grabbing for more. Talk about greed, they only need to look in there mirror.
By the way, I personally flew out to NYC last week to see this so called revolution and spoke with them. Do you truly believe the guy in the front was not self proclaimed socialist, guess again.
The FED is the Master....They artificially inflate and deflate things to suit their agenda, they control WallStreet and the Federal Government. but no one is protesting there
