Occupy Wallstreet Interview Project.

Occupy Philadelphia started on October 6th at 9:00 am at City Hall and it was originally inspired by the wall street protest in New York.

The majority of protestors are unemployed or students who see little hope for the future.
They have been demonstrating against corporate greed.
They call themselves the 99 percent and their main grievance is the fact that the richest 1 percent of Americans control 49 percent of the wealth. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_are_the_99%25)
Blue-collar workers,people from jthe middle class and a few of the rich protest against wasteful distributionof wealth and against the government's support for the wealthy 1% in the US.
In other words, They pitch their tents and do sit-in to fight peacefully for their right of equal financial treatment as we already discussed in our class.(https://www.change.org/petitions/do-not-evict-the-occupy-philadelphia-protesters)
What we found suprising was that even very young children,homeless and adults participated in the protest.
In addition to that,there was a little library for kids. We realized how peacefully this protest is going on. Nevertheless,People seemed absolutely determined in what they do.

" Working hard for the American dream is hardly working. The government should invest in education, infrastructure, basic
reaserch for the poverty, not tax breaks for billianaires."
"If Individuals can be arrested, so can corporations. They don't deserve it."
'It is unfair. We am working all the time and so what have we done wrong?"
When we asked them what these protests were for, They said.
It doesn't seem that these protests end in a short time.(http://www.nj.com/cumberland/index.ssf/2011/10/post_39.html)
We doubt they solve America's deep problem.
but at the very least,we believe this movement is generating A much needed discussion of wealth.
They show that they fight not only for the human rights , but also for the American values praised by the government itself.
