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".

Romney: Only the Wealthy Should Run For Office (for 1/9/12)
Mitt Romney suggests only the Wealthy, a.k.a. The Top 1%, should run for Congress. In the NBC/Facebook GOP Debate, he said his father was wise enough to tell him to never run for any elected office "if you need to win an election to pay a mortgage." Only Rick Perry's campaign team took offense among GOP Presidential contenders.
Romney ought to tell that to the hundreds of thousands of American kicked out of their homes in the wave of foreclosures over the past 6-7 years. They would seek reparations for all those kicked out of their homes and not just tougher regulations to prevent banks from pushing bad mortgages on unsuspecting homeowners. They would seek topunish them, too.
