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".

The reporters concluded that they gained the wealth through manipulation and use their wealth to gain political power.
