See my post on Economic Inequality is Bad for Your Health and tell me why you are against the Occupy Protesters.

It seems most PF bloggers are not supportive of this movement at all. I'm a bit on the fence, but I want to hear why you don't like these protesters. Or tell me why you support them.

Economic Inequality is not a good thing so aren't the protestors right? Of course, I'd rather prefer that they earn some money and lift themselves up, but raising the tax on the top 1% works too. 

This post continue my effort to be more controversial like my hero – Financial Samurai. Laugh

I think it's generally a waste of time to be complaining about not being rich. Stop wasting time, and try getting rich yourself!

I approved your messages. Not sure why it put you in the spam filter. I'm pretty sure I approved you in previous posts.

100% for any large social movement that seeks to disrupt a minority controlling a majority. I don't think it's about complaining about being poor as such but that is how the mainstream media seems to be happy to report it.

Michael Moore has been doing some great publicity for the whole thing. I'm not the biggest fans of his docs but as speaker and writer I think he is amazing and has genuine care.

It bothers me that they complain about being poor and unemployed.  They also seem to blame everyone but themselves.  Basically, I want them to sell me on why I should care…what is their plan?  How did someone else cause them to get into their position?  Why aren't they doing anything to change it now, and instead spending weeks living like a homeless bum?
