In this photo, on the right side, toward the back of the crowd, there is a man in a Detroit Tiger cap holding up a small sign that says: WE ARE THE 99%. That's me.

You do realize that there was this thing called the Great Recession and many people lost their jobs? Were people supposed to "plan" for the banks wrecking the economy?
Besides, the banks did not wreck the economy. Peoples poor personal financial planning did.
The problem is that Americans deluded themselves into thinking that the 'great boom' was here to stay and thus, instead of saving up for a rainy day, they spent all their money and then some.

We need a single-payer health care system, deconstruction of the military-industrial complex, the abandonment of militarism, proportional representation in a parliamentary system of government, taxation of activist churches, legalization of gay marriage and all "soft drugs," abolition of the death penalty, a progressive income tax with a top rate of 90%, a war crimes tribunal for the entire Bush administration, the shuttering of Gitmo, the repeal of the Patriot Acts and Military Commissions Acts, and many other things besides.
...starts today. I'll be on my way downtown shortly to join the march to Grand Circus Park, which I guess we will be occupying. At least for a while. I'll try to not get pepper sprayed while there.
I urge everyone to take part and help 'occupy' whatever city you're from.
The road ahead is long, but I do believe we'll get there in time.

And you think this stuff can be easily sold. How many months of rent will that used big screen TV buy?
The bidding on this one starts at $10.

Are you suggesting that there are no homeless in Detroit? Or do they all sit around on the sidewalk watching cable on big screen TVs?
Just who is responsible for providing shelter for those who can't or won't provide for themselves? You think perhaps some of the "homeless" made bad decisions?
