It's all relative-

So- instead of occupying wall street, ATLiens have been occupying downtown. People hold signs that say " it's a recession, who's makin money? Wall street!" Well guess what folks, if you weren't protesting maybe you could be at work making money. I went to college. I work at a restaurant. I work everyday. But guess what, it's all relative.  I say it's all relative because if you just so happened to be in that 1%, and you found a way to make all that money and it was YOUR money, would you want to give it away? When you see a homeless man on the street begging for money, do you feel obligated to give him your hard earned cash? NO. You made your money, you worked hard for that money. You don't know what he/she will do with THAT money. I believe in standing up for your rights. I do believe that there are some things that can be changed. However, if you look back in history, protests never changed a darn thing. During the civil rights movement, protests lead to riots, violence and death. In the 1960s, protests against the Vietnam war did not end the war or deter war in later years. 

I suppose it's all a bunch of nonsense to me. You are protesting against financial greed, however, aren't you displaying greed by wanting to take away the 1% money? What's the real issue here? That we all wish we had some money and a job? Or the rich who pay for your handouts or for you to be on welfare? 

Put down your markers and poster board. Sell yourself, start a business....do something.
