    I support the Occupy protesters all around the world because they represent a multitude of different people, all from different backgrounds who recognize that the current system we live in is no longer working successfully for all its members. And that we have to build a new system that is 'round' and where all requirements of living are distributed equally among everybody. Although the protest alone will not achieve it, we can host world wide discussions in a 'round table' format will help build the new system, where everybody will be able to express his or her opinion on how to create a better world, much like the discussions being held at the occupations right now.

    It's a clear indication that the current system we live under is unworkable in the long term, People are becoming more aware of the current financial games the governments and banks are playing with us. We are working much longer hours to service the debts placed on us by increasing cost of living, house mortgages and the price of consumer goods.

    There is also the environmental concerns with the increasing pollution from 1st world and 3rd world countries. Then there are wars brought on by nothing more that a want to control the wealth and power in certain areas of the world (mostly were the oil is!) the list goes on. There is a lot of information out there so I suggest if you're interested get involved and do a little research.

    I hope this helps to answer your question.

    Because we the people allowed our lives to be run by politicians that sold us down the river to the banks.

    They will hopefully achieve awareness of the problem and perhaps even get a few changes made.

    The protesters are doing what they are being paid to do by SCIU and other liberal groups to protect Obama by creating diversions. While the media covers the protesters Obama and his dummies are free to bypass congress and give more stuff to the dummies that are unable to fend for themselves. Buying votes with tax dollars is something liberals have loved to do for decades.
