Ex-AIG CEO Maurice "Hank" Greenberg has sued the U.S. in Court on Monday. He claims that the $182 billion bailout in 2008 of AIG was unconstitutional, violating the Fifth Amendment, because it did not justly compensate shareholders for property the government took from them. Even though this property was grossly over-valued, maybe even worthless.

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".
