The Occupy Movement Speaks
Sunday, October 16th, 2011Not just all across the nation, but all around the globe, untold thousands of people came together today to speak out against the corrupt system that benefits the wealthiest 1% (or less) at the expense of the masses.
Their message is clear: “We are the 99% and we’re not going to take it anymore!” People are protesting out of their deeply held belief that the governments and economies of the world must be run for the benefit of the people of the world. People are protesting because the banks got bailed out, the hedge fund managers made off with the billions, and we the people have been told to accept poverty, endless unemployment, backbreaking debt, and austerity galore.
