Here's what I don't understand: If all these OWS protesters "have jobs", how in the hell can they afford to lounge around in tents for weeks? What employer would tolerate that? And how feasible would it be for a great number of full-time day job workers to spend all their week evenings / nights at the protests? Is there a significant daily influx of protesters after 5 pm or so?
the Tea Party members are non violent and shower regularly.
If Tea showered regularly how did they get the reputation of being crotchety? They pick fights like yap dogs on a porch and abuse the government to fight their battles. When their congressmen are schlurping under the finance lobbyist desk, it truly represents them.
Clearly, the tea party are the winged monkeys of the axis of evil. Dept of homeland terrorism ought to investigate their diabolical unamerican activities.

Haven't seen that myself considering I'm the one baking their brownies, cheesecake, cupcakes you name it for the Charleston WV occupy site. Their kitchen doesn't even sport cooking wine. However, I'm curious about your selective attention deregulation logic.
When Coors and Tobacco companies aren't paying taxes how would you discern the difference in 'entrepreneurs'? They failed to have lobbyists stealing from congress, therefore, they're less than 'legitimate' capitalism?

The term you're searching for is the concept of hot racking. Those in tents during the day are the ones minding security, cooking, cleaning and medical on night shift or resting up prior to a private employment evening work schedule. This is a military clock. 24 hours in a day minus 9 hr (work shift + commute) leaves what?
Point of contention- how in the hell is it anyones business once off an employers clock how they spend their time? How dare they turn their televisions off??? How far have you renounced your freedom in exchange for feudal corporatism? Most importantly, what makes you believe your lifestyle choice ought to be legislated universally against all who 'fail to agree' with your choice?
Your last question is easily answered. Some are occupiers (making the sacrifice to camp outdoors through winter) and others are 99% rally folks (plus dozens other orgs like coffee party etc) who volunteer to support them by whatever resources they have available. IE stone soup community.

This of course is a drek filled screed, that really highlights the hate inherent in the left.
How can you keep a job and still spend weeks on end in a park raping women and spreading TB?
And how the hell does someone get counted as "unemployed" if they are "retired".. From my recollection of unemployed, one has to be in a productive capacity and out of work involuntarily in order to be unemployed. Thats clearly not the retired.
I should have known who the OP was, another left wing liberal who doesnt understand the difference between unemployed and retired.
Tell me interlude, why the hate against old people and why dont you care if you embarass yoursel by posting such kook theories like retired people are unemployed because they arent.

I'm sure plenty have jobs - and plenty are also just there all the time. But honestly, whether or not they have jobs is beside the point. The salient point here is that everyone has a right to protest, but there needs to be some limit before it gets to be a permanent encampment in the middle of a city that ties up scarce city resources, increases crime and drug use, breeds disease and trash, destroys private property, and just generally holds local commerce hostage indefinitely. This is not productive, and it should not be a "lifestyle choice". If the movement does not evolve beyond this, it will not be sustainable. Local residents will recognize the blight it produces on their community only hurts them and not the banks, and they will rightfully lose patience with the whole thing.
