Occupy Wall Street

Okay, so I get what the #ows people are trying to achieve. But are they really doing a good job at it? If they really want the banks to listen, they would just take out their money from their bank. It worked with Bank of America's $3 charge; why wouldn't it work here? People always say that their the "99%", and obviously, the are. For those who don't really know, they are protesting the fact that 99% of the American population has less than 50% if the money. Which is true, but not going to work to protest really does not help you there. "#ows is fighting back against the corrosive power of major banks and multinational corporations over the democratic process, and the role of Wall Street in creating an economic collapse that has caused the greatest recession in generations" (http://occupywallst.org/). Really?!??!! It's the major bank's fault that YOU bought every single iPhone when you are using food stamps? Is it their fault that you got a credit card so you could spend more that you have? No. It it the top 1%'s fault that you made poor lifestyle choices? Sure, they had a big part in this whole economic downfall, but so did the 99%. The 1%, even the 2% (the 2% is for people who make over $100,000 a year) earned that money. They were the people who realized that flunking school and majoring in liberal arts will not get you far in life and money. Those are the people who worked hard their whole educational career and went to college and earned a degree! Now it's their fault for 99% of the population, who the majority of slacked their whole life, having no money. Do you want money? Here's a tip. Get good grades, don't blow off school, get a job, work hard, and don't buy any Apple products (not that I don't like them, they are just expensive). If you don't want to be in the 99% then work hard. Don't complain because you ruined your life and somebody else is living the dream. This is just stupid. Get to work and realize that, ♫ You can't always get what you want! ♫
