Darrell Issa, a California U.S. Representative and Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, recently blamed homeowners at a hearing on foreclosures. Wells Fargo, JP Morgan Chase, and Bank of America were some of the Big Banks who had representatives at this hearing. Issa blamed homeowners for robo-signing by unqualified employees at these banks even thous the banks gave the titles of "vice-president" to people not prepared for the job. He said "people who stopped paying"contributed to an overload of work.
Yet another example explaining why Congress' popularity is at an all-time low. Issa proved he is out of touch to make these comments a month after the foreclosure settlement. And it shows why people occupy houses under the threat of foreclosure.

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".
