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".

Wealthy Americans Want to Be Anonymous (for 1/2/12)
In this video, an Aljazeera reporter tried interviewing affluent Americans about their riches. They had no success getting anyone to answer. Therefore, many in the Top 1% choose anonymity. The reporters concluded that they gained the wealth through manipulation and use their wealth to gain political power.
