Only the ignorant don't know what the 99% are protesting. Here are what occupiers are standing for.
End Corporate personhood
Re-instate Glass Steagal.
End bush or even Reagan Tax cuts.
Rebuild Infrastructure - Thats why they march ont he bridges that are sh-t.
Put a steed tax on high frequency trading to stop algorithm programs that cheat on wall st.
END Free trade - Specially if the country has human rights or workers rights abuse. You can't compete with workers that get beat or raped to bring up productivity.
Re-instate the anti sherman act. Which reagan did away with and that would have stopped the banks from being to big.
