yeah it is a civic duty to be a piece of shit and demand free handouts.

Occupy Wallstreet is not about hand outs for average person. It is just presented to you as such by general mass media because they have vested interest in seeing status quo stay same.

Well in sense I guess it is about stopping handouts from corporations to our elected officials. Lobbing in DC is out of control and needs to change. Corporations are ones making laws and our elected officials are just using government to get paydays that cost rest of us allot of money. Take SOPA for example these bills were just put up to get internet big companies to pony up money to the Houses. Google and others were not paying their "protection" money to our lovely "Representatives" so they put up a bill that would cost the major internet providers and search engines millions in costs.

And it is both parties that are corrupt. One biggest misdirect ions is how majority of people by into the whole Republican vs Democrat and think one is some how better than other. When all either party cares about is getting money.

This occupy shit is actually genious. "Work" aka stand there and hold signs for 1 month, don't work again until the next rally (10 years)....make the government pay you to sit on your ass in between! If that kid starts now he will only have to work 5 months in his whole life!!! (His poor fat ass won't make it past 60)

Good points, but when approaching Occupy people about what should be done to solve this problem, they either have no response or they vaguely refer to some ideas for reform, all of which involve more government control. As if battling government power with even more government power has ever worked. People like to complain about all these corporate handouts, but fail to realize that as long as you give a few people the power over trillions of dollars, those with power will try to influence the process to their benefit.
