What:Occupy Wall Street, which is a non violence protest act.

Who:richest individuals, which is 1%, against the other 99% of the nation. This includes Americans who have been hit hard by the economic crisis. That means those without a job,  in debt, underemployed, foreclosed, or insecure.

When: September 17, 2011 and is still continued today.

Where: started in in New York, NY in what is known as the financial district, and the protests have spread to many different cities.

Why: The rich are making unfair laws and rules, which truly are affected many other people. This has led that 99 % of the nation to protest and try to regain their rights. The economic choices of the rich have caused many people to loose their jobs and has led to this recession. While they get benefits and pay low taxes everyone else struggles to get through each day.

Agree or disagree:
 I strongly agree with the Occupy Wall Street protest. I feel that things totally are unfair those who do not struggle should be able to pay taxes but don't. Instead they want to tax those who can barely get through each day. Politics are always talking about doing what is right, but where are they now. The 99% which include most of us if not all of us can use the help for our families to live a little more stress free.
