Occupy Wall Street or Occupy A Dream
Occupy Dreams or Occupy Wall Street
Okay so what is Occupy Wall Street? I have wondered and have heard the question from many individuals what is it that they are protesting? What is it that they are wanting and their agenda? Well this is what Wikipedia states what Occupy Wall Street is all about and how it started.
Directly from Wikipedi what is Occupy Wall Street…
The participants of the event are mainly protesting against social and economic inequality, corporate greed, and the influence of corporate money and lobbyists on government, among other concerns. By October 9, similar demonstrations had been held or were ongoing in over 70 cities.
In mid-2011, the Canadian-based group Adbusters Media Foundation, best known for its advertisement-free anti-consumerist magazine called Adbusters, proposed a peaceful occupation of Wall Street to protest corporate influence on democracy, address a growing disparity in wealth, and the absence of legal repercussions behind the recent global financial crisis.
Perceptions vary as to the specific goals of the movement. According to Adbusters, a primary protest organizer, the central demand of the protest is that President Obama “ordain a Presidential Commission tasked with ending the influence money has over our representatives in Washington”. Liberal commentator Michael Moore had suggested that this is not like any other protest but this protest represents a variety of demands with a common statement about government corruption and the excessive influence of big business and the wealthiest 1% of Americans on U.S. laws and policies
Peripheral demands such as raising taxes on the rich, raising taxes on corporations, ending corporate welfare, support for trade unionism, and protecting Medicare and Social Security in their traditional forms are expressed by some participants. Other protesters are calling for an audit or elimination of the Federal Reserve, affordable healthcare, dismantling the military-industrial complex and to end all wars.
Despite the various lists of demands, some non-partisan groups and supporters of the protest have expressed concern that the proposed agenda items are not addressing some of the root causes. Political activist Lawrence Lessig argues that the problems on Wall Street have been caused by corruption in Washington that has been perpetuated by a deep conflict of interests. He further states that because both parties depend on Wall Street’s money to fund their campaigns, they will not dare to cross the interests of Wall Street.
So do agree with Occupy Wall Street?
Well I agree with some of their standings, but I feel that they are standing on the wrong street. I don’t think Wall Street and the banks are the total cause of our economic issue’s. The mess that we are in here in the United States and globally starts with our government policies. A lot of politicians will come right out and say that the government is to blame, but then they will turn right around and take corporate money to fund their agenda. And as we the people are just to blame, we continue to let government make policies that don’t serve the best interest of the American people.
Do I believe that the wealthy should pay the way for everything? No. I feel they should pay their share but we as true dreamers need to occupy our dream. If your dream is to occupy wall street and protest more power to you.
Occupy a DREAM…
So am I against the Occupy Wall Street protesters? Not at all. If there is something that you firmly believe in deep down inside I feel you should go for it. I do have to say I am curious how some of these individuals can spend months as some are say of not leaving. One thing I have observed is with Occupy Wall Street and the other gatherings are the signs “We are the 99%.” I don’t feel that you can be upset with individuals that are wealthy. You have the choice to build your dreams, your interest, your thoughts, freedom of speech, and I could go on and on. But if you are angry at the other 1% I don’t agree with you. You have had and still do to occupy a dream, don’t be stomping on others accomplishments and take action.
