Perhaps America Complains would have been a better name for this "protest" then.

Sigh.
People have lost their savings. Their homes. Their livelihoods. And a good swath of them didn't have a say in the matter.
But I guess they're just complainers.
People sure love to focus on the suburban 'iPod aficionados' in the Occupy crowd, but they also love to ignore the thousands upon thousands of people who took a beating economically. People who are in poverty and lost everything because of a broken system.
Is there no sympathy for these people? At all? Or is it all their fault as it appears the right-leaning crowd around here is suggesting? And is this conversation going to go in circles again?
