Did I miss the memo that the Occupy Movement was suddenly all about the twenty something crowd not working hard enough?
I was under the impression, at least in the United States, that it was a mixed crowd of people. Baby boomers who have lost their pensions, healthcare workers who aren't able to help the sick, union workers who are fighting for a cause, those kinds of people. Certainly students and younger people are going to be among them, I suppose, but that hardly says anything about their work ethic.
If anything, it's exactly what troutman alluded to earlier - a left wing version of the Tea Party. And given the pull the Tea Party has had on the Republican party as of late, this is precisely what the US needs right now to hopefully bring things back closer to center.
