The Occupy Wall Street Protests that started in September 2011 & and then spread across the nation have highlighted ongoing problems of massive unemployment & income inequality in the U.S. Elected officials, various members of the news media, & even a few of my own friends have mocked this movement. I believe that it is possible to find a different story for every day of the year that answers "Why They Occupy".

Birther Joke From Matt Romney Over Dad Mitt's Tax Return (for 1/1/12)
Occupy Wall Street protesters may not be happy with the job Obama has done as President, whether it includes failing to end the Bush Tax Cuts for the Wealthy, reforming healthcare by enacting a single-payer system, bring home all the troops fighting abroad, or pass climate legislation. But, they undoubtedly do not approve of conservatives and other right-wingers making birther jokes questioning whether or not Obama is an American citizen. They want to see them instead push Obama to actually come up with proven, non-ideological ideas to solve our nation's biggest problems. They do not want Matt Romney, son of leading GOP Presidential candidate Mitt Romney, cracking jokes about President Obama's birth certificate when he gets questioned on when Mitt will release his tax returns.
