    The top 1% on the economic ladder continue to gain an increasingly larger portion of the income and wealth of the nation. The middle class continues to lose ground. If you look at the large picture then you should be concerned. The OWS protestors are concerned.

    You said you think your salary is to low.

    You should do some research to find out what the average salary for your job is.. The OWS protesters are doing more harm than good to their future and future employment.

    If your employer is using political contributions to enforce a monopoly, allowing him to get away with a lower quality workforce and bust any attempt to unionize, keeping your salary below the fair market rate, then sure.

    Otherwise, sure, you're welcome to join. If you don't understand what they're doing there, go and ask them about it. You'll learn something. But don't quit your job, just go in your off hours like most of them do except the ones who are unemployed or have jobs that they can do from anywhere.

    Your salary is too low. The median wage in the US has stagnated for the last 31 years for everyone but the top 1%.

    No you should protest because you are lied to by your leaders and the media while wall street multiplies your labor money to make counterfeit money to gamble with and rake in the winnings, but if they loose......... oh wait they don't loose, they get a bail out.

    No, improve your value to your employer and earn a raise or promotion.

    Yes, if your spouse had his/her job off-shored to India or China.

    Bring the jobs home - NOW!
