Occupy Wall Street!!!

I hear a lot about the Occupy Wall Street Movement lately...in the news, in passing, on the radio.  It's all over the place that a bunch of people have decided to gather and blame the big corporations of Wall Street for the ills of this great nation. 

Here's the really cool thing...because we have this GREAT NATION, we have the RIGHT to assemble and protest anything we want.  We could even protest OXYGEN if we wanted to (pretty dumb move if you ask me, but it's been pretty dumb some of the things I've seen protested in the past!).


Anyway, these folks get to gather and protest...heck even Kanye West made a pop up appearance (well, he pulled up, got out of the car for a second, got back in and had the driver get him the heck away from this group of people making a statement.  Guess he didn't see Taylor Swift there to try to upstage and got bored pretty quickly. I don't really KNOW who they are financed by or backed by but you know the rumors whirl and swirl...is it REALLY grassroots?

 

I found an annotated photo of the demonstration and while I find it funny, I think it's so true!  I commented a few days ago on Karen Fiddler's ActiveRain Blog as she prepares for a lifestyle change to as many American made products as she can, that I love her idea because of it's implementation and that those that choose to only buy American for one day or don't buy gas on a gas out day are totally missing the point and not really ACCOMPLISHING ANYTHING!

 

See if you have the same thoughts about these Occupy Wall Street protesters (by they way, do you think any of these folks with all this cool stuff they are wearing and using have jobs or who do you think paid for a lot of it!?)  

I inserted the photo large to make the annotations very easy to read! :) 

 

Corporate Sponsors of the Occupy Wall Street movement?
