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".

$100 Million-Plus Golden Parachutes for 21 CEOs (for 1/28/12)
GMI Ratings published a first-ever report that found 21 CEOs since 2001 took home $100 million or more of severance, often referred to as a golden parachute. Jack Welch headed General Electric for 20 years and received a golden parachute of over $400 million as his tenure as CEO ended in 2001. Exxon Mobil's Lee Raymond took home over $320 million after his 12-year tenure as CEO ended in 2005.
