[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how so many on this forum think nothing like this could ever happen to them.  [/quote]

I have no doubt that something like this could happen to us.  We have no family around and I worry about it constantly.

But, I'm not sure what the protesters are trying to accomplish? They want 'economic equality'?  What is that exactly.  Everybody gets paid the same?  Everybody deserves basic healthcare (yes, I do believe that) or everybody deserves a brand new car?

I completely agree that our healthcare system SUCKs.  So then, maybe we should be protesting hospitals?  We definitely need healthcare reform, but nothing ever gets done in Washington.

I'm not exactly sure what the protests are trying to accomplish.  If the people are jus looking for a place to vent, then okay.  What changes are they looking for exactly?[/quote]

I haven't figured that out myself yet. News footage shows that everyone out there thinks they're there for a different reason. Healthcare, housing crisis, unemployment, corrupt and out-of-touch politicians, Republicans, Tea Party, Wall St. bankers. They're protesting their general conditions I guess, but I really don't think the movement is organized and cohesive enough to actually amount to anything. [/quote]
