During a meeting with unemployed constituents, Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson said, "when you're a good worker, you don't stay at minimum wage for long." He defended his views on keeping minimum wage low by saying that regulations have put too much of a strain on businesses. He does not want to spend on unemployment insurance because of the amount it increased the National Debt.

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".
