Because it is so much easier to whine.  A guest on NPR was commenting that the people protesting are people who can 'afford' to protest.  Who have a way to get to Wall Street and eat when they get there.

The rest of the people are actually out working 80 hours a week to put food on the table for their families. They don't have time for whining.  [/quote]

Couldn't the same be said about any protest? Who was at the famous March on Washington at which Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke? Obviously, people who could afford to protest. Who attends the Tea Party protests? People who can afford to protest. That's common sense and does nothing to detract from the protest or the protesters. Keep in mind, people almost always have to sacrifice something in order to be able to afford to protest. Its a question of priorities. For some, the priority right now is to demonstrate that they are tired of the unfair accumulation of wealth in this country. For some, the priority is to post messages on the Internet criticizing those people. [/quote]
