They’re the job creators and innovators that allow us and our families to lead good lives. I agree that they do need to be put on a shorter leash in some aspects but the system does not need to be taken apart as these protestors would like. They have no need to protest anyway since the current administration is doing whatever it can to move us into the socialist “utopia” they all want. These protestors, regardless of their organizational skills, want a society where there’s no rich or no poor and where everyone is on an equal plain. That is socialism anyway you slice it and we have history to prove what happens under that kind of system. That has to be the most fundamentally wrong statement in the entire thread. This is American and citizens have the right to protest what ever they want whenever they want also long as it isn’t violent(yes there are a couple more restrictions but w.e.). Also corporations don’t create domestic jobs they typically offshore them. Majority of job creation is small business then government. Don’t believe me look a Schenectady after Jack Welch(CEO G.E.) decided cheap labor is the way to go and sent all the manufacturing jobs to China. Either which way these individuals aren’t happy with the way the country is being run so they are protesting. If they are setting fire to stuff in the streets and throwing rocks at the cops there is no reason for them to be arrested. If your really that nieve to think that important policy decissions aren’t steering in some way shape or form by the richest 1% of the nation then your nuts. BTW I agree w/ KBB solution is buy more guns and ammo --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/occupy-wallstreet/260647)._
