I recently came across Connors blog which covers the issue on the Occupy Wall Street continuing to be a frustrating pandemic. This movement has caused other countries to retaliate and the protestors have gained very little progress. My colleague Connor has brought up this issue here.
In my opinion I strongly agree with what Connor has stated. I have a couple points to further his discussion. Although I am a part of the 99%, I don’t share the same views as the protestors. These protestors are trying to achieve the equality of taxation and re-distribution of wealth but they are not making a strong case through their actions. Recently in Vancouver a young lady passed away on the scene of the protest. The paramedics and the police have been stationed around the camp setup which is coming straight out of taxpayer’s money. Occupy Vancouver has only wasted resources and caused many disturbances throughout the city. This only furthers my disappointment with the effectiveness of their movement. In a sense I think they are making little progress. No protestor reflects the positive social change that they are supposed to be standing up for.
