God you sound like a broken record.
Protesting in a park is taking responsibility. It's an acceptable, legal, practice to try and reform legislation.
Oh, you mean they should just shut up and suck it up?
Ok, so I'm not complaining that I lost nearly a third of my retirement. I chose to invest it after all. When my broker said 'really secure' I chose to believe her.
But hey, if some folks want to stand in central park to try and improve our financial system and perhaps up my chances of not losing another 30% of my retirement, I'm all for it.
It's funny that you openly support the tea party protests yet claim occupy wallstreet is only about waiving responsibility - all in the same thread. What's funnier is that you spread the good gospel by using a couple of stupid anecdotal stories
thinking assuming they're going to sway anyone's opinion (like they apparently did you). The protests came about for very similar reasons. People are outraged. You and your tea party cronies outrage about big government, government spending and entitlement programs. It's no more meaningful or special or important or worthy than the wallstreet protestors outrage over income gap, big CEO bonuses, the declining middle-class or money hoarding.
The tea party protesters are fat too. So they have nothing to complain about right?
