Dont these people understand that the cloths on thier back, thier Iphones, there shoes, there paper for taking notes, the tents they sleep in are all created by corporations. Free market and Capitilism is what this country was founded on. There are plenty of jobs out there, you just have to suck up your pride and take what ever is available. Everyone may not be privy to the a job they may like or think they deserve. I cleaned pools, cleaned toilets, cleaned sewer drains, lifeguarded, worked as cart boy at a golf course, and washed dishes for years, before opening my own business. I sucked up my pride and worked hard. I still work hard very hard. If these people would stop complaining and spend the time they do complaining looking for a job, they may be working by now. I have position sopen and barely anyone is coming in and filling out apps, the jobs are there, its a matter of accpeting that low paying job, stop living off the goverment, work hard and good things will happen. If all you do is complain, with no mission, no leaders, no real message besides corporations are evil, then take a look at what everyday items you use, they are all mostly produced by corporations!!!!!!!!!

The messages of the Occupy Movement are certainly there. I'm not sure this movement is about ending corporations. I am sure it's about ending injustice and preserving true democracy. This is a movement of patriotic citizens- of the people and by the people- who have for one reason or another gotten fed up enough to push back against a myriad of injustices. Corporate greed is only one of them- and It's clear to me that this isn't about ending the corporations, but ending corporate greed and ending the immoral tactics employed to extract economic resources from citizens of this country in the form of bailouts, fees, deregulation, etc. And this is only a drop in the bucket! The occupy movement is also about so much more. Perhaps the biggest issue we all face could very well be the preservation of that which makes our country strong- the Constitution of the United States. If you think this isn't a serious issue, please do your homework. Another issue which affects us all- including the corporations- are the manipulations of Wall Street and the banking industry. In my opinion, the very existence of the Federal Reserve, which is incidentally, a private bank, threatens not only our own economy, but the world's. I suggest you do a bit of research on fractional reserve banking. It's scary to think that our nation's wealth is built upon debt- your's, mine, ours. And there are so many more issues we, the people face. Don't kid yourself; you are one of the 99% too.

Civil rights, women's suffrage, Vietnam War, all these movements began the same way. I would rather a local business provide me with the clothes on my back, the food on my table instead of some faceless corporation that is outsourcing the production of these things to other countries. We need to localize EVERYTHING and that spells doom for the spectre of corporations. Bring them all down! Aren't we supposed to have anti-trust laws in this country? Break them up and localize them. Boo hoo! A corporation employs thousands of people. Well, the dozens of companies that would spring forth from the ashes of that corporation will employ tens of thousands. You can't hold workers hostage anymore! We need to change our motto from "By the money, for the money and of the money" back to the "people".
...and the movement has already begun

Can you tell me what occupy wall street mission is? Know one seems to know, except get rid of the corporations. Hate to break to you , but the local business are corporations, this site is a corporation, your small business produce stand on the side of the road is a corporation, Reduce all the ridiculas federal regulations this current government is putting on small business which are corporations and maybe we all will start expand, grow, and hire more employees. If this gornvement doesnt stop tying our hands, and stop giving hand outs to people that dont want to earn nice things and work hard for what they have, then this country will never get back on track. All of these big bad corporations started out with one store then there business grew. No one is holding workers hostage, theres just some people that think no matter what job they have, that they are entitled the same benifits in life as someone you is succesful and started out with zero but built there business from the ground up. EARN IT!!!

I would wear a John Galt mask and stand proud. OWS don't have a clue on how the economy works and place little if no blame on an overbearing bureaucracy of government spending or regulatory policies that hinder business.

When produce stand, "corporations" get so big that they: lose touch with the community they serve, ship their production overseas and hide their political agendas behind government-mandated, "campaign contributions" or "buying political power". And they have been given full rein to do just that by the Supreme Court of the United States. When a corporation gets so big that it does theses things, it needs to be taken down and divided up. These big corporations swallow the smaller ones, to the smaller ones detriment and demise. How do you open a hardware store when Home Depot is right down the street and will run you out of business because they can charge less? How do you open a clothing store when you can drive to Walmart and get any clothes you want for a fraction of the price, all because they were made by a 14-year-old in Bangladesh?
