[quote=anifani821;21219169]What "demands" are these Occupy folks making?
I thought they were all just camping out, carrying signs and complaining about rich folks not paying enuff taxes- and seem to be angry about life in general - but I didn't realize they had actually made any demands.
I didn't realize that the Tea Party had made any demands, either, unless you consider expecting politicians to balance the budget to be a demand.[/QUOTE
One of the biggest complaints that I hear the "OWS" make is being ripped off by utility companies and high gas prices. They are angry because they believe there is no opportunity in america anymore, and that the top 1% couldn't care less about this country or the future generations. (Not my opinion, their's)
How many times in the modern history of this country has it had a balanced budget? We had a balanced budget a decade ago under a Democratic president. Not that I am excusing the current president, but he turned a deficit into a BIGGER deficit. I don't recall seeing a TEA party around when our last president turned a SURPLUS into a DEFICIT.
Since I am pragmatic and moderate, not partisan and ideological, I support neither of these movements, but they things look, OWS greatly outnumbers the TEA parties, and historically, revolutions begin with young people, not senior citizens.
