Detroit Mayor David Bing sought to cut his City's police officers and firefighters' pay by 10%. He did this to avoid layoffs. This shows the pressures that the ongoing economic crisis has placed on state and city governments.

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".
