After reading Eleanore Chang’s blog about the Occupy of Wall Street, I thought about the purpose of this protest. In her blog, she stated that it will be impossible to get the message across if people keep on getting arrested. In my opinion, Occupy Wall Street is childish and pointless. However, it is even more absurd that these protesters believe they can change their lives by changing government policy. Do people truly believe that their lives will be better when government gives them more leeway? The 1% in this world are the 1% because they have talent and work hard. I’m sorry to say this but not everyone is born equally, some have better luck while some are truly gifted. However everyone is born with the ability to work hard, and clearly these protesters are utilizing their gift of working hard to their potential.
To respond to Eleanore, yes they did send out a message, but probably not the one they wanted. The message I got was that the 99% are cry babies that want their “parents” to do what they demand. Be glad they are in America instead of the Middle East or Africa, now stop whining and do some work.
