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".

GOP Rep Scolds Constituent; Tells Her to Join Military (for 1/14/12)
Arkansas Congressman Steve Womack yelled at constituent Kelly Eubanks and told her to join the military to pay for college. House Republicans cut 2011 Federal Pell grant spending for 100,000 students in need. Womack's aides tried to interrupt her and he did not directly answer her demands.
