Wealthy individuals who own giant corporations have bought off our Congress and bought off our government. And you know the people no longer have a voice anymore. The protesters gathered on Boston Common and marched in front of the Massachusetts Statehouse carrying signs. It reads Apathy isn't working Raise your voice and chanting slogans like "Fund education and more. Student protesters said they angry with an education system that they say mimics what they call the "irresponsible, unaccountable, and unethical financial practice of Wall Street. The protesters have described themselves at the 99% referring to what they say are the vast number. Americans struggling to pay their bills while the income gap between the rich and middle class widens. I think the message is the wealthiest one percent is taking advantage of working class people. They been selling us faulty financial products, they been taking huge bonuses while depending on society to bail them out. During the previous week, both the police and protesters were calm and ordered. People were wearing smiles, and positive discussions were being had in and out of the protest lines. But overall do you think the government should get me in to it.
