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 Tax Plan Benfits The Rich; Hurts Everyone Else (for 1/6/12)
Mitt Romney's tax plan would help those in the Top 1% the most. Millionaires will get an average tax cut of nearly $150,000. Those making up to $100,000 get small tax cuts ranging from $27 to $490. Those in the middle class would effectively get a tax hike, as everyone at $40,000 or under would have to pay $14 to 191 in extra taxes. It would also increase the Federal budget deficit, causing the National Debt to go up.
