Out of curiosity are any of you crazy monkey people going out to show support in your city?

I don't know. I think a lot of the people who support the Occupy Wall Street movement are just as ignorant as the people who don't support it. I've heard so many different things from supposed supporters such as:
Rage that the richest people get tax breaks. Okay, agreed, not fair.
Rage about unemployment and outsourcing. But wait, we are supposed to... bring more jobs back to America... by making America less profitable for investors and businesses to bring their money and jobs here through increasing their taxes and getting rid of the breaks they take advantage of? Now I'm confused.
Rage that their own retirements / investments are ruined or unstable due to the current economy. Sorry. That's part of the game if you choose to invest though.
I don't know about any of that.
I support what I think the central demand of Occupy Wall Street is -- the basic idea that corporate special interest groups shouldn't control government policy, sure. That's pretty reasonable to me.
